We first describe the general class of approximation spaces generated by translation of a function rho(x), and provide a full characterization of their basis functions. We then present a general sampling theorem for computing the approximation of signals in these subspaces based on a simple consistency principle. The theory puts no restrictions on the system input which can be an arbitrary finite energy signal;bandlimitedness is not required. In contrast to previous approaches, this formulation allows for an independent specification of the sampling (analysis) and approximation (synthesis) spaces. In particular, when both spaces are identical, the theorem provides a simple procedure for obtaining the least squares approximation of a signal. We discuss the properties of this new sampling procedure and present some examples of applications involving bandlimited, and polynomial spline signal representations. We also define a spectral coherence function that measures the ''similarity'' between the sampling and approximation spaces, and derive a relative performance bound for the comparison with the least squares solution.

This work analyses the method of correlational accumulation (averaging) of a set of multiple copies of a signal from the same object arbitrarily displaced with relation to one another and observed in a mixture with additive signal independent sensor noise in which the signal displacements are measured by localization of maximum of the signal cross-correlation function. Three main problems are addressed and investigated both analytically and by computer simulation: optimality of the correlational accumulation method, signal distortions which originate from the signal registration errors and noise reduction capability of the correlational accumulation as a function of signal-to-noise ratio in the observed signal-plus-noise realizations.

This paper first describes an algorithm that finds the approximate finite impulse response (FIR) inverse of an FIR filter by minimizing the inversion (or reconstruction) error constrained to zero-bias. The generalization of the inverse filtering problem in the two channel case is the design of perfect reconstruction filter banks that use critical sampling. These considerations lead to the derivation of an algorithm that provides a minimum error and unbiased FIR/FIR approximation of a perfect reconstruction IIR/FIR (or FIR/IIR) filter bank. The one-channel algorithm is illustrated with the design of an FIR filter to compute the B-spline coefficients for cubic spline signal interpolation. The two-channel algorithm is applied to the design of a FIR/FIR filter bank that implements the cubic B-spline wavelet transform. Finally, we consider a modification of this technique for the design of modulated-filter banks, which are better suited for subband coding.

A network thermodynamic model has been devised to describe the coupled movement of water and glycerol molecules within the kidney during perfusion with solutions of time-varying glycerol and impermeant comcentrations. Both flows are governed by a combination of the individual osmotic potential differences between compartments, the viscoelastic behavior of the tissue, and the momentum transferred between the two flows. The system is modelled using the bond graph technique and simulated with the ENPORT7 package (Rosencode Associates, 1993).

We present a method to extend rank-annihilation-factor analysis (RAFA) for the analysis of fluorescence from homogeneous turbid samples. The method is based on a fundamental relationship between the fluorescence of a dilute solution and that of a turbid solution. We have derived this relationship, known as the transfer function, for turbid materials using the two-flux Kubelka-Munk theory. The method is tested with spectroscopic data from optically thin and turbid samples of the media of a human aorta. At 450-nm excitation, agreement between the measured and predicted dilute-solution fluorescence spectra is within 5% at all emission wavelengths;at 340-nm excitation, agreement is within 20% at all wavelengths, with some residual Soret-band absorption. The simulations presented indicate that the transfer function is markedly more sensitive to absorption than to scattering properties.

Eight adult goats underwent 5 hr of normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with pulsatile (n = 3) and nonpulsatile flow (n = 5). PaCO2 was maintained at 30-40 mmHg and blood flow rate at 50 ml/min/kg. Brain tissue pH, PO2, and PCO2, arterial and venous blood gases, and other systemic variables were monitored. No significant differences in brain electrochemistrybetween pulsatile and nonpulsatile perfusion were observed owing to the large variability of the results and the small number of experiments. The overall data for brain tissue pH, PO2, and PCO2 were analyzed and compared to the results of arterial and venous pH, PO2, and PCO2. Brain acidosis developed at the onset of bypass, and the values for brain tissue pH dissociated from those of blood pH, suggesting that hemodilution and the initial body response to CPB are involved in its development. Brain hypercapnia also developed during CPB, the values of brain tissue PCO2 dissociated from those of blood PCO2, and brain hypercapnia appears to be secondary to brain acidosis. Brain tissue PO2 closely followed the values of PvO2, suggesting that PvO2 can be an indicator of brain tissue PO2 during normothermic CPB and must be monitored during the procedure. Brain tissue acidosis is evidently related to neurologic dysfunction after CPB, and must be addressed. Replacement of the priming solution with whole blood or artificial blood, reduction of the priming volume, and application of vigorous pulsatile flow appear feasible interventions to mitigate brain tissue acidosis during CPB.
