We construct a class of matrix-valued Schrödinger operators with prescribed finite-band spectra of maximum spectral multiplicity. The corresponding matrix potentials are shown to be stationary solutions of the KdV hierarchy. The methods employed in this paper rely on matrix-valued Herglotz

The rate-distortion characteristics of a scheme for encoding continuous-time band-limited stationary sources, with a prescribed band, is considered. In this coding procedure the input is sampled at Nyquist's rate or faster, the samples undergo dithered uniform or lattice quantization, using

the ability of the method for synthesis of tex-tures with prescribed local orientation. Index Terms — Prescribed orientation, anisotropic self-similar Gaussian fields, turning bands, oriented textures

Abstract — An efficient and versatile CAD tool for the de-sign and synthesis of narrow band, band–pass microwave filters with generalized Chebyshev transfer function has been devel-oped. The program allows transfer function zeros at prescribed positions to be synthesized. Thus, it is suitable

transparent at a prescribed frequency. Such a material would allow antennas operating at different bands to share "real estate " with a minimum of mutual coupling. It would also allow the construction of frequency selective radomes with no out-of-band grating lobes. The proof that such a material

is illustrated by investigating the hardening spring cubic oscillator under wide and narrow band excitations. The non-Gaussian probability density of the input that leads to Gaussian response is determined.

Transport and dispersion of smoke plume from pre-scribed burns was studied using W-band radar (95 GHz) and a lidar ceilometer. The Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (MIRSL) at the University of Massachusetts observed prescribed burns conducted by the USDA For-est Service at Fort Benning Georgia

A novel device, formed by a widely spaced periodic array of defects in a photonic bandgap crystal, is studied with the goal of designing a waveguide with a prescribed narrow bandwidth. Tunneling of radiation between the defect sites allows wave propagation along the line of the defects

A method is given for the H 1 approximation of discrete-time systems of arbitrary order, whose frequency responses have derivatives satisfying an a priori bound and are specified only by corrupted measurements at m frequencies. The approximation is by polynomial systems of prescribed order r

Hg. Blood pressure targets were met in only 14 % of patients. After 48 months of treatment 34 % of patients had not improved in band of blood pressure severity. Many patients with severe hypertension at 12 months were still being prescribed only one drug. The lack of aggression in antihypertensive treatment
