Rate Distortion Functions and Rate Distortion Function Lower Bounds for Real-World Sources [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 Although Shannon introduced the concept of a rate distortion function in 1948, only in the last decade has the methodology for developing rate distortion function lower bounds for real-world sources been established.

Characterizing the luminescent properties of upconversion nanoparticles in single and densely packed state [PDF]
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2019 Luminescent properties of Er3+- and Yb3+- co-doped CaF2 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were investigated in single particle and densely-packed states with a custom-built microscope.

New Journal of Physics, 2023 We numerically investigate the dynamics of an SIR model with infection level-based lockdowns on Small-World networks. Using a large-deviation approach, namely the Wang–Landau algorithm, we study the distribution of the cumulative fraction of infected ...

Estimation of the Rate–Distortion Function [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2008 Motivated by questions in lossy data compression and by theoretical considerations, we examine the problem of estimating the rate-distortion function of an unknown (not necessarily discrete-valued) source from empirical data. Our focus is the behavior of the so-called "plug-in" estimator, which is simply the rate-distortion function of the empirical ...

Earnings Functions and Rates of Return [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 The internal rate of return to schooling is a fundamental economic parameter that is often used to assess whether expenditure on education should be increased or decreased. This article considers alternative approaches to estimating marginal internal rates of return for different schooling levels.

Association between resting heart rate and pulmonary function in adult men [PDF]
Journal of Men's Health, 2023 Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is known to be associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) whose pulmonary function is reduced. On the other hand, no study has reported on the association between

Improving lung function in adolescents with CF by tracking annual rate of lung function decline
BMJ Open Quality, 2021 Background For patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), sustaining lung function through the adolescent years is crucial to slow the progressive decline that leads to significant morbidity and early mortality.

BMC Geriatrics, 2022 Background Thyroid function may be a factor affecting kidney function in the general population. Kidney and thyroid function vary with age; therefore, the association between thyroid function and decreased kidney function in older adults may be different
