1127 Mathews, V. John; Clark, Edward B.Mean frequency estimation of narrowband signalsAbstract-This letter shows that the single frequency approximation for a narrowband lowpass signal embedded in white noise using the Pisarenko harmonic decomposition algorithm is approximately the power-weighted mean frequency of the signal. Experimental results indicate that this method is superio...2004
1128 Mathews, V. John; Clark, Edward B.Mean frequency estimation of narrowband signals and its application to doppler ultrasound blood velocity waveform estimationABSTRACT Many applications involving Doppler signals require the accurate estimation of the power-weighted mean frequency over short durations of the signal due to it's nonstationarity.

1135 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Mechanism for liquid phase epitaxial growth of nonequilibrium compositions producing a coherent interfaceA model is presented for growth by so-called composition pulling, wherein an epitaxial deposit grows coherently but with a composition different from that which would be in bulk equilibrium with the liquid phase from which growth occurs. The breakdown of coherent growth occurs when a dislocation nuc...Lattice-matching overgrowths; Composition pulling; Dislocation interface1977
