LMS-based DHT analyser

A least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive algorithm for calculating the discrete Hartley transform (DHT) is presented. The transform kernel of the DHT serves as the input vector and the input signal to be analysed is regarded as the ‘desired response’ for the adaptive process. For a proper choice of convergent factor, i.e. u = 1/2, the ‘LMS DHT analyser’ will provide an exact N-sample DHT. All the operations involved are real. Incorporation of one new sample requires only one adaptation.

DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR OF RF-BIASED JOSEPHSON JUNCTIONS (Ⅰ)

A lot of numerical investigation of equations of rf-biased Josephson junctions is carried out, in which the interference term is included in current-phase relation. Chaotic behavior, sequence of period-doubling bifurcations, inverse sequence of chaotic band and intermittent chaos are found seperately in various parameter regions. The convergent factor δ n of 2n Psequence and the ratio Φ(k)/Φ(k+1) are calculated, where Φ(k) is the average height of the peaks corresponding to 2kP in the power spectrum. We also study the symmetry possessed by period solutions and its relation to the nature of approach to chaos

"TO SEE OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE US!": RELATIONS AMONG SELF-PERCEPTIONS, PEER-PERCEPTIONS, AND EXPECTED PEER-PERCEPTIONS OF PERSONALITY.

The need for convergent validity in the measurement of personality variables and past failures to demonstrate such properties are briefly reviewed. Two apppoaches to the problem using several types of data obtained from various subject populations and employing alternative factor analytic methods and factor score estimation procedulres are described. The results indicate that convergent factor patterns and substantial convergence and discriminant validities among factor score estimates are obtainable when sufficient care is taken in the design and development of measure variables .of each type and when analysis methods appropriate for the problem are used.
