    Author : Henrik Gonzalez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Post-polio syndrome; PPS; inflammation; cytokines; muscle strength; quality of life;

    Abstract : Late effects in patients with prior poliomyelitis were first reported in the nineteenth century and have been referred to as the post-polio syndrome (PPS). PPS is characterized by new muscular deterioration, fatigue and pain after a stable period of at least 15 years. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Non-Linear Instantaneous Least Squares Approach to Signal Parameter Estimation

    Author : Jakob Ängeby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aliasing; polynomial-phase signals; synthetic aperture radar auto-focusing; non-linear least squares; time-frequency estimation; estimation theory; non-stationary processes; non-uniform sampling;

    Abstract : Estimation of parameters of non-stationary signals observed in noise is a challenging and difficult task, motivated by applications such as radar and mobile tele-communication. Here, a novel method for signal parameter estimation named the Non-linear Instantaneous Least Squares (NILS) approach is presented, which can be applied to linear and non-linear signals, and to both uniformly and non-uniformly sampled data.
