Background: We previously demonstrated the clinical utility of using response to therapy variables obtained during the first 2 years of follow-up to actively modify initial risk estimates which were obtained using standard ...

This paper presents a complete analysis of the cascade structure for adaptive transversal filters based on adaptive algorithms. The standard structure of the cascade transversal FIR filter is obtained by replacing the ...

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the dissemination of structural arrangements relating to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) movement within the field of banking organizations in Brazil. The paper is part of ...

The goal of this paper is to present an approach to detect structural changes by using nonparametric models. The impulse response functions (IRFs) of mechanical systems in healthy conditions are identified through the sum ...

This paper presents a novel time domain approach for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems based on Electromechanical Impedance (EMI) principle and Principal Component Coefficients (PCC), also known as loadings. ...

In many practical engineering situations, a source of vibrations may excite a large and flexible structure such as a ship’s deck, an aeroplane fuselage, a satellite antenna, a wall panel. To avoid transmission of the ...

The time varying intensity character of a load applied to a structure poses many difficulties in analysis. A remedy to this situation is to substitute a complex pulse shape by a rectangular equivalent one. It has been shown ...
