REAL-TIME KERNEL FUNCTION SYNTHESIS FOR SOFTWAREDEFINED RADIO AND PHASE-FREQUENCY MEASURING DIGITAL SYSTEMS by I. E. Tarasov, D. S. Potekhin

“…The method is based on heavy usage of hardware cores of high-performance programmable logic devices (PLD) for generating harmonic and Gaussian modulating functions in real-time mode. The usage of modulated harmonic series allows tuning parameters of kernel functions both in frequency and time domains, while fine tuning of damping factor of Gaussian function is performed on the base of fixed-point representation of wavelet samples. …”

Effect of Study-Duration and Time of Day on Multichannel Sleep Study Findings in Former Preterm Infants by Allison Sadowski, Naveed Hussain, Leonard I. Eisenfeld, Mariann Pappagallo, Janet Schwenn, Ted S. Rosenkrantz

“…Results: Differences were detected at the level of individual sleep studies when each epoch was compared to each other and a total 20-h study. 10-h study missed 17–31% of breathing abnormalities detected over 20 h adjusted for study time. Group analysis showed no statistical difference in the number and duration of events between epochs. …”
