Spatio-Temporal Spectrum Holes and the Secondary User
No full textDSA research must explicitly consider the perspective of secondary users. This paper considers the spatio-temporal properties of spectrum holes as they impact the secondary user’s communications needs. Like Weiss et.al. [1], this paper develops typology of spectrum holes from the point of view of the secondary user. Each type of spectrum hole is analyzed for the kinds of communications requirements that can be supported, illustrated, where possible, existing measurement data. The analysis concludes that a secondary user’s ability to meet their communications need varies considerably. More detailed analysis of the spatio-temporal density of spectrum holes would be necessary to further quantify these conclusions

Convergence Behaviour of LMS-Type Algorithms for Adaptive Noise Control in Noisy Doppler Environments (862kB)
No full textThis paper discusses the convergence and tracking behaviour of LMS-type algorithms in a certain type of environment, which is characterised by a Doppler shift in frequency between the two signals available to the algorithm and rapid variations in signal power. We show the linear time-varying characteristics of the underlying system and derive optimum trajectories to which we can compare the adaptation and tracking ability of first order LMS and NLMS adaptive filters. We also present simulations using higher filter orders and real world noise, for which particular emphasis is put on the presence of observation noise. An excursion into the theory of non-stationary convergence and tracking of adaptive algorithms provides justification for the observed behaviour of the algorithms
Kurt R. Weiss
No full textDr. Kurt R. Weiss is an associate professor in the University of Pittsburgh Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Musculoskeletal Oncology. He has joint appointments in Surgical Oncology and Pathology. He serves as an Advisory Dean for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and as Vice Chair of Translational Research for his Department. His research career began as an undergraduate student at Notre Dame when he worked in the Ferguson Laboratory with Dr. Christopher Evans. During medical school at Jefferson Medical College, he performed a summer research internship with Dr. Eugenie Kleinerman at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Between his second and third years of medical school he participated in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute/National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program where he worked in Dr. Lee Helman’s Laboratory in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Pediatric Oncology Branch. During residency he performed original osteosarcoma research during his lab year with Dr. Johnny Huard. After his fellowship in Musculoskeletal Oncology at the University of Toronto with Drs. Jay Wunder and Peter Ferguson, Dr. Weiss was recruited back to Pittsburgh by his Chairman, Dr. Freddie Fu, as faculty and started his own Lab.
The Musculoskeletal Oncology Laboratory (MOL) is focused on sarcoma metastatic potential. Dr. Weiss’s team of PhD collaborators, residents, medical students, undergraduate students, and technicians perform basic and translational sarcoma research experiments. Much of this work is accomplished with samples from the Musculoskeletal Oncology Tumor Registry and Tissue Bank (MOTOR) that Dr. Weiss and his clinical partners established in 2012. The MOTOR now holds over 16,000 unique samples from over 600 sarcoma patients with clinical annotation, making it one of the largest sarcoma tissue repositories in the country. This resource provides vital biological reagents for both intramural and extramural sarcoma investigators who collaborate with the MOL.
Dr. Weiss is an author on over 80 peer-reviewed publications. He recently finished his term as Research Committee Chair for the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, the largest professional society for musculoskeletal oncology surgeons on the continent of North America. He is on the Mentorship Committee for the Connective Tissue Oncology Society, for which he has also served on the Board of Directors. He was recently named to the Scientific Steering Committee of the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC), the largest private supporter of sarcoma clinical trials in the world. He has taught at the Orthopedic Research Society grant writing course for many years. Dr. Weiss is a regular reviewer for NCI grant applications and was on the inaugural Programmatic Panel for the Department of Defense Rare Cancers Research Program. His funding sources have included K08 and R21 awards from the NCI as well as the support of numerous foundations including the Orthopedic Research and Education Foundation and the Connective Tissue Oncology Society. Dr. Weiss is a founding member of the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma (PCS) patient advocacy group, as well as the Pittsburgh Sarcoma Research Collaborative (PSaRC).https://openworks.mdanderson.org/kleinermanbios/1004/thumbnail.jp
Peter Weiss, Spain: Peter Weiss, Painting
No full textPeter Weiss, España: Peter Weiss, Pintura, vincula dos aspectos poco tratados en torno a la figura del pintor y dramaturgo alemán Peter Weiss (1916-1982). En primer lugar, redescubre la relación que el autor mantiene con España a raíz del análisis de documentos relevantes. Por otro lado, llama la atención sobre la producción gráfica y la obra pictórica de un dramaturgo que ve el mundo como un pintor contemporáneo, como un sujeto moderno.Peter Weiss, Spain: Peter Weiss, Painting, links two aspects little treated concerning the figure of the painter and German playwright Peter Weiss (1916-1982). First, it re-discovers the relation that the author supports with Spain following the analysis of relevant documents. On the other hand, it calls the attention on the graphical production and the pictorial work of a playwright who sees the world as a contemporary painter, as a modern subject
Multi-Dimensional Weiss Operators
No full textWe present a solution of the Weiss operator family generalized for the case of R(d) and formulate a d-dimensional analogue of the Weiss Theorem. Most importantly, the generalization of the Weiss Theorem allows us to find a subset of null class functions for a partial differential equation with the generalized Weiss operators. We illustrate the significance of our approach through several examples of both linear and non-linear partial differential equations
COVID-19 Vaccination policies in an autocratic context: Belarus vs. Russia
No full textThe paper continues a book chapter devoted to the Belarusian and Russian crisis management during the first months of the pandemic (Weiss 2022). The present chapter examines the second half of 2021 when vaccines were already available in both countries. It is based on data from speeches broadcast on TV, reports by so-called “foreign agents”, i.e. Russian independent investigative agencies, and online news including the official Kremlin site. The main research question focuses on the impact of vaccination on both Lukašenko’s and Putin’s policies: how did their communication strategies change, what was their own stance towards vaccination, and how did they cope with peoples’ reluctance to get vaccinated? The tools to achieve this goal are mainly provided by argumentation theory and impoliteness theory. The comparison is somewhat impeded by Lukašenko being a tacit COVID denier who rejected any compulsive protective measures but nevertheless had to support vaccination. He mercilessly insulted his ministers who tried to impose protective measures on citizens and he tended to conflate online bloggers criticizing his crisis management with his political opponents. Putin backed the vaccination campaign but did not succeed in overcoming the masses’ passive resistance despite a “split-voice” strategy: whereas he officially maintained his image of an unbiased father of the nation, state media such as the TV station “Russia today”, which attacked anti-vaxxers very aggressively, portrayed him as the main decision-maker and ruthless punisher. His publicly pronounced arguments against compulsory vaccination proved very weak
