ASE Noise-Reduced Optical Receiver Based on MZI Diversity Scheme

A novel method is proposed that reduces the bit error rate (BER) in an optically amplified system by using a Mach–Zender interferometer coherence manipulation at the receiver. Exact analysis is presented, which shows that the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by 3 dB. Resulting BER improvements are presented.     

Measurement of currents and floating potential in multilayer sensor due to oil-flow electrification

This paper presents floating potential and current measurements due to oil-flow electrification inside a multilayer sensor incorporated in a closed loop filled with fresh transformer oil. All leakage currents at the sensor inlet and outlet, the capacitive current and the streaming current are measured. The waveforms of these currents, floating potential as well as the oil temperature at the sensor inlet are simultaneously recorded for laminar flow and at controlled operating conditions. The measured floating potentials are compared with the calculated ones under different oil-flow velocities and good agreement has been found.

The origin of preferential attachment and the generalized preferential attachment for weighted networks

In this paper, we first discuss the origin of preferential attachment. Then we establish the generalized preferential attachment (GPA) which has two new properties; first, it encapsulates both the topological and weight aspects of a network, which makes it is neither entirely degree preferential nor entirely weight preferential. Second, it can tell us not only the chance that each already-existing vertex being connected but also how much weight each new edge has. The GPA can generate four power-law distributions, besides the three for vertex degrees, vertex strengths, and edge weights, it yields a new power-law distribution for the subgraph degrees.     

A power law distribution in patients’ lengths of stay in hospital

The distribution of patients’ lengths of stay in English hospitals is measured by using routinely collected data from 11 years. It is found to be well approximated by a power law distribution spanning over more than three decades. To explain this observation, a theoretical resource allocation model is presented. It is based on iterative long-term scheduling of hospital beds, and its main assumption is that future beds are allocated preferentially. This represents a situation where different parts of the health care system compete for resources, with bargaining powers proportional to current resource levels.

Biased and Unbiased Two-sided Wilcoxon Tests for Equal Sample Sizes

This paper answers the long-standing question of whether the two-sided Wilcoxon rank test for equal sample sizes is unbiased against a location parameter family of distributions by giving a counterexample. It is also shown that the nonrandomized two-sided Wilcoxon test for equal sample sizes with the least positive significance level is unbiased.     

On the Effect of Misspecifying the Density Ratio Model

The density ratio model specifies that the log-likelihood ratio of two unknown densities is of known linear form which depends on some finite dimensional parameters. The model can be broadened to allow for m-samples in a quite natural way. Estimation of both parametric and nonparametric part of the model is carried out by the method of empirical likelihood. However the assumed linear form has an impact on the estimation and testing for the parametric part. The goal of this study is to quantify the effect of choosing an incorrect linear form and its impact to inference. The issue of misspecification is addressed by embedding the unknown linear form to some parametric transformation family which yields ultimately to its identification. Simulated examples and data analysis integrate the presentation.     

Explicit bounds for multidimensional linear recurrences with restricted coefficients

This note employs path counting techniques to extend recent results on bounds for odd order linear recurrences to higher dimensions. The results imply optimal zero-free polydisks for multivariable power series with 0, 1 coefficients. Among the applications is a result that states that the optimal zero-free polydisk has radius approximately 1/(v+1), for large dimensions v.
