Objectives: It is well known that some parameters of the photoplethysmogram (PPG) acquired by time domain contour analysis can be used as markers of vascular aging. But the previous studies that have been performed for frequency domain analysis of the PPG to date have provided only restrictive and fragmentary information. The aim of the present investigation was to determine whether the harmonics extracted from the PPG using a fast Fourier transformation could be used as an index of vascular aging. Methods: The PPG was measured in 600 recruited subjects for 30 second durations, To grasp the gross age-related change of the PPG waveform, we grouped subjects according to gender and age and averaged the PPG signal of one pulse cycle. To calculate the conventional indices of vascular aging, we selected the 5-6 cycles of pulse that the baseline was relatively stable and then acquired the coordinates of the inflection points. For the frequency domain analysis we performed a power spectral analysis on the PPG signals for 30 seconds using a fast Fourier transformation and dissociated the harmonic components from the PPG signals. Results: A final number of 390 subjects (174 males and 216 females) were included in the statistical analysis. The normalized power of the harmonics decreased with age and on a logarithmic scale reduction of the normalized power in the third (r=-0.492, P<0.0001), fourth (r=-0.621, P<0.0001) and fifth harmonic (r=-0.487, P<0.0001) was prominent. From a multiple linear regression analysis, Stiffness index, reflection index and corrected up-stroke time influenced the normalized power of the harmonics on a logarithmic scale. Conclusions: The normalized harmonic power decreased with age in healthy subjects and may be less error prone due to the essential attributes of frequency domain analysis. Therefore, we expect that the normalized harmonic power density can be useful as a vascular aging marker.

The theoretical calculations for $S_nO_n,\;S_nO_{2n},\;S_nO_{3n}\;(n\;=\;1{\sim}4)$ have been considered at the B3LYP level of theory with various basis sets. The optimized geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and binding energies are evaluated to elucidate the thermodynamic stability and spectroscopic properties. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for the molecules considered in this study show all real numbers implying true minima. The binding energies due to increasing of $S_nO_n,\;S_nO_{2n},\;S_nO_{3n}$ monomers are calculated at the MP2/6-311G** level of theory. For $S_nO_n\;(n\;=\;1{\sim}4)$, the binding energy difference is about 20∼25 kcal/mol by adding SO monomer. For $SO_2\;and\;SO_3\;(n\;=\;1{\sim}4)$, the binding energy differences are relatively small by comparing to $S_nO_n$.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and binding energies for $(H_2O_3)_n$ (n = 1-5) have been investigated using various quantum mechanical techniques. The possible structures of the clusters (n = 2-5) are fully optimized and the binding energies are predicted using energy differences at each optimized geometry. The harmonic vibrational frequencies are also determined and zero-point vibrational energies (ZPVEs) are considered for the better prediction of the binding energy. The best estimation of the binding energy for the dimer is 8.65 kcal/mol. For n = 2 and 3, linear structures with all trans forms of the HOOOH monomers are predicted to be the lowest conformations in energy, while the cyclic structures with all cis-HOOOH monomers are preferable structures for n = 4 and 5.

Let ${\tau}\;{\neq}\;\delta_0$ be either a power bounded radial measure with compact support on the unit disc D with $\tau(D)\;=\;1$ such that there is a $\delta$ > 0 so that ${\mid}\hat{\tau}(s){\mid}\;{\neq}\;1$ for every $s\;{\in}\;\Sigma(\delta)$ \ {0,1}, or just a radial probability measure on D. Here, we provide a decomposition of the set X = {$h\;{\in}\;L^{\infty}(D)\;{\mid}\;lim_{n{\rightarrow}{\infty}}\;h\;*\;\tau^n$ exists}. Let $\tau_1$, ..., $\tau_n$ be measures on D with above mentioned properties. Here, we prove that if $f\;{in}\;L^{\infty}(D^n)$ satisfies an invariant volume mean value property with respect to $\tau_1$, ..., $\tau_n$, then f is n-harmonic.

In this paper, a design and fabrication of 4 W power amplifier for the WiMAX frequency band(2.3~2.7 GHz) are presented. The adopted active device is a commercially available GaN HEMT chip of Triquint Company, which is recently released. The optimum input and output impedances are extracted for power amplifier design using a specially self-designed tuning jig. Using the adopted impedances value, class-F power amplifier was designed based on EM simulation. For integration and matching in the small package module, spiral inductors and interdigital capacitors are used. The fabricated power amplifier with $4.4{\times}4.4\;mm^2$ shows the efficiency above 50 % and harmonic suppression above 40 dBc for second(2nd) and third(3rd) harmonic at the output power of 36 dBm.

A method to measure the distortions of the loudspeaker at low frequencies without an anechoic chamber is proposed. This method utilizes the fact that the n-th harmonic distortion outside the enclosure is boosted by 40log n dB compared to that inside the enclosure. By compensating for the effect of standing waves occuring inside the enclosure, it is possible to predict the distortions for wide frequency ranges below the first break-up frequency of the diaphragm. The method is applicable to the intermodulation distortion as well.

It is concerned with the continuity of the Hardy-Little wood maximal function between the classical Lebesgue spaces or the Orlicz spaces. A new approach to the continuity of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is presented through the observation that the continuity is closely related to the existence of solutions for a certain type of first order ordinary differential equations. It is applied to verify the continuity of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function from $L^p({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ to $L^q({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ for 1 ${\leq}$ q < p < ${\infty}$.

We consider the initial value problem of the Schrodinger equation for an interesting Cauchy-Euler type operator ${\mathfrak{R}}$ on ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ that is an analogue of the harmonic oscillator in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. We get an appropriate $L^1-L^{\infty}$ dispersive estimate for the solution of the initial value problem.

In this paper we consider the sufficient condition for hyponormal Toeplitz operators T_𝛗 with non-harmonic symbols $${\varphi}(z)=\sum_{\ell=1}^{k}{\alpha}_{\ell}z^{{m_{\ell}}{\bar{z}}n_{\ell}}$$ with m_ℓ-n_ℓ = δ > 0 for all 1 ≤ ℓ ≤ k, and α_ℓ ∈ ℂ on the Bergman spaces. In particular, we will observe the characteristics of the hyponormality of the Toeplitz operators T_𝛗 according to the positional relationship of the coefficients α_ℓ's.
