An Improved Iterative Nonlinear Least Square Approximation Method for the Design of SISO Wideband Mobile Radio Channel Simulators
2012
In this paper, we present an improved version of the iterative nonlinear least square approximation (INLSA) method for designing measurement-based single-input single-output (SISO) wideband channel simulators. The proposed method aims to fit the time-frequency correlation function (TFCF) of the simulation model to that of a measured channel. The parameters of the simulation model are determined iteratively by minimizing the Frobenius norm, which serves as a measure for the fitting error. In contrast to the original INLSA method, the proposed approach provides a unique optimized set of model parameters, which guarantees a quasi-perfect fitting with respect to the TFCF. We analyze the perform…
Cigarette smoke exposure inhibits extracellular MMP-2 (gelatinase A) activity in human lung fibroblasts
2007
Abstract Background Exposure to cigarette smoke is considered a major risk factor for the development of lung diseases, since its causative role has been assessed in the induction and maintenance of an inflamed state in the airways. Lung fibroblasts can contribute to these processes, due to their ability to produce proinflammatory chemotactic molecules and extracellular matrix remodelling proteinases. Among proteolytic enzymes, gelatinases A and B have been studied for their role in tissue breakdown and mobilisation of matrix-derived signalling molecules. Multiple reports linked gelatinase deregulation and overexpression to the development of inflammatory chronic lung diseases such as COPD.…
A particular phenotype of ascending aorta aneurysms as precursor of type A aortic dissection.
2012
Objectives: We aimed to identify a phenotype of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), which, more than others, evolves into type A dissection (TAD). Methods: Aortic specimens were obtained from patients undergoing surgical repair of TAA and TAD (108 and 26, respectively). Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed by using adequate tissue specimens, appropriate techniques and criteria. Results: We identified the three following TAA phenotypes: phenotype I (cystic medial degeneration balanced by a substitutive fibrosis, in absence of medial apoptosis and with a faint collagenase concentration), phenotype II (cystic medial degeneration of higher grade, respectively,…
The diamond partial order in rings
2013
In this paper we introduce a new partial order on a ring, namely the diamond partial order. This order is an extension of a partial order defined in a matrix setting in [J.K. Baksalary and J. Hauke, A further algebraic version of Cochran's theorem and matrix partial orderings, Linear Algebra and its Applications, 127, 157--169, 1990]. We characterize the diamond partial order on rings and study its relationships with other partial orders known in the literature. We also analyze successors, predecessors and maximal elements under the diamond order.
On the structure of the similarity orbits of Jordan operators as analytic homogeneous manifolds
1989
For Jordan elementsJ in a topological algebraB with unite, an open groupB−1 of invertible elements and continuous inversion we consider the similarity orbitsS G (J)={gJg−1:g∈G} (G the groupB−1⋂{e+c:c∈I},I⊂B a bilateral continuous embedded topological ideal). We construct rational local cross sections to the conjugation mapping\(\pi ^J G \to S_G \left( J \right)\left( {\pi ^J \left( g \right) = gJg^{ - 1} } \right)\) and give to the orbitS G (J) the local structure of a rational manifold. Of particular interest is the caseB=L(H) (bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert spaceH),I=B, for which we obtain the following: 1. If for a Hilbert space operator there exist norm continuous local…
Further results on generalized centro-invertible matrices
2019
[EN] This paper deals with generalized centro-invertible matrices introduced by the authors in Lebtahi et al. (Appl. Math. Lett. 38, 106¿109, 2014). As a first result, we state the coordinability between the classes of involutory matrices, generalized centro-invertible matrices, and {K}-centrosymmetric matrices. Then, some characterizations of generalized centro-invertible matrices are obtained. A spectral study of generalized centro-invertible matrices is given. In addition, we prove that the sign of a generalized centro-invertible matrix is {K}-centrosymmetric and that the class of generalized centro-invertible matrices is closed under the matrix sign function. Finally, some algorithms ha…
Hilbert-Schmidt Hankel operators on the Segal-Bargmann space
2004
This paper considers Hankel operators on the Segal-Bargmann space of holomorphic functions onCn\mathbb {C}^nthat are square integrable with respect to the Gaussian measure. It is shown that in the case of a bounded symbolg∈L∞(Cn)g \in L^{\infty }(\mathbb {C}^n)the Hankel operatorHgH_gis of the Hilbert-Schmidt class if and only ifHg¯H_{\bar {g}}is Hilbert-Schmidt. In the case where the symbol is square integrable with respect to the Lebesgue measure it is known that the Hilbert-Schmidt norms of the Hankel operatorsHgH_gandHg¯H_{\bar {g}}coincide. But, in general, if we deal with bounded symbols, only the inequality‖Hg‖HS≤2‖Hg¯‖HS\|H_g\|_{HS}\leq 2\|H_{\bar {g}}\|_{HS}can be proved. The resul…
Positive linear maps on normal matrices
2018
For a positive linear map [Formula: see text] and a normal matrix [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text] is bounded by some simple linear combinations in the unitary orbit of [Formula: see text]. Several elegant sharp inequalities are derived, for instance for the Schur product of two normal matrices [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for some unitary [Formula: see text], where the constant [Formula: see text] is optimal.

Elementary symmetric functions of two solvents of a quadratic matrix equations
2008
Quadratic matrix equations occur in a variety of applications. In this paper we introduce new permutationally invariant functions of two solvents of the n quadratic matrix equation X^2- L1X - L0 = 0, playing the role of the two elementary symmetric functions of the two roots of a quadratic scalar equation. Our results rely on the connection existing between the QME and the theory of linear second order difference equations with noncommutative coefficients. An application of our results to a simple physical problem is briefly discussed.
