在產品研究開發階段，決者經常面臨如何挑選比控制（標準）母體更具可靠度的設計 母體。本篇論文研究的範圍是在型ＩＩ截略抽樣計劃且特定時間下，挑選較具可靠度 的韋伯母體。 假設π□、π□，．．．．，πk 是Ｋ＋１個獨立的韋伯母體，第ｉ個韋伯母體πi 的可靠度函數如下：Ｒ（ｔ；αｉ；βｉ）＝ｅｘｐ（－（ｔ╱αｉ）βi ）假如Ｒ （Ｓ* ；αｉ；βｉ）＞Ｒ（Ｓ* ；α□；βυ）則稱母體πｉ比π□更具可靠度。 在型ＩＩ截略抽樣計劃下，我們主要決定ヾ每一母體適當的樣本和截略數（ｎｉ；γ ｉ）ゝ局部最適法則以便由π□到πk 中挑選比π□更具可靠度的母體。 當形狀參數β已知時，由Huang et al （一九八四）的局部最適法則來推導挑選法則 ，在控制此法則的正確挑選機率及誤差機率下，計算樣本數及臨界值。 當形狀參數β在某一區間中有事前分配，則修正局部最適法則。最後以法則來做模擬 ，由結果得知此法則對事前分配的變異仍相當的適用。

本論文以「黃牧甫生平及篆刻藝術之研究」為題目，旨在對其生平及篆刻藝術作系統整理和討論。黃牧甫（1849-1908/1909），安徽黟縣人，為晚清最重要的篆刻家之一。由於家庭濡染，自幼便對篆學產生興趣，八、九歲始習刻印。後因太平軍與清軍戰，家園被毀，困苦失學，雙親亦相繼離世，為補生計，被迫離鄉到江西南昌謀生，曾於照相館工作，後遷廣州，改以鬻書治印自給。黃牧甫為晚清集大成的印人，尤對廣東印壇產生源遠的影響，故被譽為「嶺南派」之初袓。 / 黃牧甫初宗「鄧派」鄧石如（1743-1805）、吳讓之（1799-1870），後服膺於趙之謙（1829-1884）的印學主張，取徑「印外求印」，故面貌多樣，印文體勢獨特。又取法漢印模式，講究完整光潔，運以衝刀，不作斷續刻劃，點劃乾淨俐落。尤精於章法，平正而不落呆板，自創一格，繼「鄧派」後於晚清印壇上別樹一幟。 / 在黃印的整理方面，本研究主要以「摹擬期」、「蛻變期」、「成熟期」作為分期，以便探討其不同時期的篆刻特質。據本研究所搜集，黃氏存世印蛻約有二千四百方。它們被整合分析，編成年譜，建構一個系統、完備的資料庫。其中印款資料更提供了珍貴的第一手資料，增補了歷史文獻上的不足。 / 黃牧甫一生治印不斷，作品極豐，然卻失散各地，難以匯集。幸而，其印譜的流傳卻相對豐富，最重要的要數黃氏生前自輯《般若波羅蜜心經印譜》、《黃牧甫自存印譜》及《黃穆甫印存續補》，故印貌得以保存，為後世留下重要的研究資料。當中《黃穆甫印存續補》所錄印拓，更對研究黃氏「成熟期」印風非常重要。由於此譜為海外孤本，且尚未見世，所以目前有關黃牧甫的著述，均未能涵蓋這部重要資料。然在此論文發表前，因得機緣而認識收藏家林章松先生，得其不吝嗇借出此譜作研究之用，確為本研究提供有力依據和借鑒。 / 黃牧甫為晚清重要的篆刻家，具相當高的研究價值，更是探究流派篆刻由傳統走向當代的關鍵人物，惜至今其系統研究卻極之匱乏。本論文將綜合歷史、文化、社會及藝術等不同角度，並借鑒相關學術領域的研究方法和成果，透過文獻及視覺分析，對黃牧甫的生平和篆刻藝術作全面考述，從而建立一份可靠的研究資料，令篆刻藝術史有更大的發展空間。 / Entitled “A Study of Huang Mufu’s Life and Seal Engraving Art, this paper aims to investigate his life and art of seal engraving. Huang Mufu (1849-1908/1909), born in Anhui Province, was one of the most important seal engravers in the late Qing dynasty. / Huang Mufu first learned from Deng Shiru (1743-1805) and Wu Rangzhi (1799-1870) of the Deng school, and later followed the thinking of “seeking artistic links for seal making of Zhao Zhiqian (1829-1884). Therefore, his seals took on various forms and his seal inscriptions were unique. He also drew on the pattern of seals of the Han dynasty, which pursued tidiness and smoothness and applied Swift knife to create clean and neat strokes. He created his own style that was peculiar in the late Qing dynasty and had far-reaching influence on the seal engraving community of Guangdong Province, so he was renowned as the originator of the Lingnan school. / Huang made seals throughout his life and left over rich works. According to the information collected from this research, Huang has about 2,400 seals, which have been analyzed, integrated and chronicled into a systematic and complete database. Many of his seal impressions and colophons provide rare firsthand information for this paper, and hoped to serve as important materials for later studies. Based on the collected sources, this study divided Huang’s career into the imitation, transmutation and maturation stages, in order to discuss his seals’ characteristics in different periods. / There has been an extreme scarcity of studies on this topic. Therefore, this paper made a comprehensive study which involved a survey of the primary and secondary literature on Huang Mufu’s life and career. An analysis of the relevant sources enables his career to be reconstructed on a sound chronological basis, and allows his work to be seen in its proper context. / This study also made an important contribution to a relatively little-studied area of the history of Chinese art. It corrected a number of misconceptions in previous studies and make up literature deficiencies. The aim is to provide a set of reliable data that allows further development of the history of seal engraving art. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 劉浩敏. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 175-191) / Electronic reproduction.

The Confucian thoughts in the transition period from Ming to Qing Dynasty indicate the trend to pull down the transcendent world to the real world. This means the "immanent monism tendency", which is to internalize the transcendent li within the experiential qi. The "immanent monism tendency" is the most obvious feature in the Jishan School. This thesis focuses on Huang Zongxi's thoughts and takes the "immanent monism tendency" as the clue to expose the inner logic in the Ming-Qing academic transformation. The thoughts of "immanent monism tendency" emerge in Mid-Ming period. There are two reasons behind it: one is anti-Buddhism and the other comes from the pursuit of the most fundamental moral self-cultivation in the School of Mind. The two converge upon Liu Zongzhou's thoughts, which are inherited by Huang Zongxi, who then develops the "immanent monism tendency" to an extreme form. Huang Zongxi emphasizes qi as the first order concept and completely internalizes the transcendent li within qi. Both his xin-xing and moral self-cultivation are based upon the li-qi theory. Through the Principle with Many Manifestation, Huang Zongxi combines traditional mind-reason thought with his ultimate concern on administration and practical usage. In conclusion, Huang Zongxi's philosophical thoughts are the transition form In the phase of the Ming-Qing academic transformation, in which the "immanent monism tendency" plays a key role. / 秦峰. / Submitted: 2010年11月. / Submitted: 2010 nian 11 yue. / Adviser: Cheng Chungxi. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-04, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2011. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-279). / Electronic reproduction.

The Hilbert transform is a widely used transform in signal processing. In this thesis we explore its use for three different applications: electrocardiography, the Hilbert-Huang transform and modulation. For electrocardiography, we examine how and why the Hilbert transform can be used for QRS complex detection. Also, what are the advantages and limitations of this method? The Hilbert-Huang transform is a very popular method for spectral analysis for nonlinear and/or nonstationary processes. We examine its connection with the Hilbert transform and show limitations of the method. Lastly, the connection between the Hilbert transform and single-sideband modulation is investigated.

La Décomposition Modale Empirique (EMD pour « Empirical Mode Decomposition ») est un outil récent de traitement du signal dévolu à l'analyse de signaux non stationnaires et/ou non linéaires. L'EMD produit pour tout signal une décomposition multi-échelles pilotée par les données. Les composantes obtenues sont des formes d'onde oscillantes potentiellement non harmoniques dont les caractéristiques, forme, amplitude et fréquence peuvent varier au cours du temps. L'EMD étant une méthode encore jeune, elle n'est définie que par la sortie d'un algorithme inhabituel, comportant de multiples degrés de liberté et sans fondement théorique solide. Nous nous intéressons dans un premier temps à l'algorithme de l'EMD. Nous étudions d'une part les questions soulevées par les choix de ses degrés de liberté afin d'en établir une implantation. Nous proposons d'autre part des variantes modifiant légèrement ses propriétés et une extension permettant de traiter des signaux à deux composantes. Dans un deuxième temps, nous nous penchons sur les performances de l'EMD. L'algorithme étant initialement décrit dans un contexte de temps continu, mais systématiquement appliqué à des signaux échantillonnés, nous étudions la problématique des effets d'échantillonnage sur la décomposition. Ces effets sont modélisés dans le cas simple d'un signal sinusoïdal et une borne de leur influence est obtenue pour des signaux quelconques. Enfin nous étudions le mécanisme de la décomposition à travers deux situations complémentaires, la décomposition d'une somme de sinusoïdes et celle d'un bruit large bande. Le premier cas permet de mettre en évidence un modèle simple expliquant le comportement de l'EMD dans une très grande majorité des cas de sommes de sinusoïdes. Ce modèle reste valide pour des sinusoïdes faiblement modulées en amplitude et en fréquence ainsi que dans certains cas de sommes d'ondes non harmoniques périodiques. La décomposition de bruits large bande met quant à elle en évidence un comportement moyen de l'EMD proche de celui d'un banc de filtres auto-similaire, analogue à ceux correspondant aux transformées en ondelettes discrètes. Les propriétés du banc de filtres équivalent sont étudiées en détail en fonction des paramètres clés de l'algorithme de l'EMD. Le lien est également établi entre ce comportement en banc de filtres et le modèle développé dans le cas des sommes de sinusoïdes.

After the Opium War, China has entered a rapid transformation. At the later period of Qing Dynasty, fictions were put to excellent, it was emphasized the actual function of the social. It reflected social conditions and enlighten the people through advocacy fictions. Intellectuals deeply appreciate female issues tightly linked with the fate of the country, and carried out the large-scale feminist movement of the later period of Qing Dynasty. Through against foot-binding, build female schools , promote freedom of marriage, established the independent personality of female, and the liberated women totally. Fictions were written female lives and reflected women' issues at this time. "Huang Hsiu Chiu" reflected female lives and situations very well in many feminist fictions, it was centered foot-binding, female education, women' issues. Miao-Ru Wang had created a a group of new revolutionary female who be strong, be no fear of might by female writing in "Female Prison Flower". These females found themselves in the corresponding relationships of saving the nation, women's rights, and woman's education.

Over the Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI) was established in 1992 mainly to provide a platform for small and medium sized companies to raise money for their capital requirements. It is a well defined dealer market with market makers giving bid and ask quotes. It was established with state-of-the art technology with ringless, scripless trading. In this study, we develop a theoretical model to decompose spread into its three components in a dealer market. This model is further empirically examined by using OTCEI data. We find that Inventory holding cost to be the highest on OTCEI followed by Adverse Information cost and Order Processing cost. The result reflects market microstructure which is peculiar to OTCEI. The methodology developed in this study is basically a generalization of S toll's (1989) methodology. . Roll(1984) shows that in a pure order processing world, spread equals the square root of negative of serial covariances of successive differences of transaction prices. Stoll (1989) relates spread to the covariance of successive difference of transaction prices and that of the quotes. Stoll introduces two parameters, 5, which is a measure of magnitude of price change and JI, the probability of reversal of type of transaction, that is, from Bid to Ask or vice-versa, to model the Bid/Ask price movements from one transaction to the next. Thus Stoll, from this model, establishes a theoretical relationship between serial covariances of successive differences of transaction and quote returns and spread. 5 and n are estimated via regression of serial covariances of transaction and quote, returns on average proportional spread square. With these two parameters, Stoll finally decomposes spread into three components. δ, is the amount of price change between transactions for two reasons- Inventory holding reason and adverse information reason. Stoll explains these price changes due to two reasons with just one parameter, 5. This forms the main motivation of this study. In our study, we let 8 assume two different values, 5i and 82 which attempts to capture the price changes due to the two different causes viz inventory holding and adverse information. It is convenient to think of these two S's being associated with two different states of transactions. However, these states themselves are indeterminate . In other words, the price change could be due to inventory reasons, or due to trading with an informed trader, or due to both. Thus, while Stoll assumes only one 8, in our study, we have two different values of 8. Thus, with three parameters, 81, 82 and n, this study attempts to estimate the relevant parameters and realistically decompose the three components of spread in a dealer market. Just like Stoll, the developed theoretical model also relates serial covariances of transaction price changes and quoted price changes to spread square. However, unlike Stoll, now there are 3 parameters, namely, 5j, 82 and n. As it is impossible to solve three unknowns with just two equations, it becomes necessary to introduce one more equation relating the three parameters to the spread. It is here that we introduce, for the first time, the serial covariance of the second order differences of the transaction price changes, which is related to spread via an equation. Intuitively, we can explain this relationship using Roll's result. Roll(1984) has shown that spread equals square root of the negative serial covariances of transaction price changes in a pure order processing world. Since the second order difference is nothing but the rate of price changes, it also must be related to spread, since the price change themselves are related to it, empirically, we find that spread square significantly affects the serial covariance of second order difference of price changes as well. Besides explaining the price changes with just one 5, Stoll's method of decomposition is not realistic. Though his method of decomposition does yield three components of spread, in reality, it lumps Adverse information cost and Inventory holding cost together. In our study, we make use of the state-of-the art Huang and Stoll's (1997) methodology of decomposition of spread. We first embed the developed theoretical price-movement model into that of Huang and S toll's this yields a functional relationship between 5i and 52 and a and |3 of Huang and Stoll, which directly refers to the adverse information and inventory holding components respectively. Thus, in our study, we realistically decompose the components of spread and OTCEI and empirically too, we find that the components estimated from our methodology does reflect the market microstructure of OTCEI. Apart from developing and empirically testing the theoretical model, we also see if it fits the observed data on OTCEI. We find that the theoretical model does not exactly conform to the observed data in OTCEI, necessitating some empirical fine-tuning. We build an empirical model which is again used to get the three components of spread. We also estimate components of spread in OTCEI using Stoll's and Huang and Stoll's methodology and we compare them with the estimates obtained using our methodology. We find that Stoll's methodology overstates the Adverse information component of spread and understates the inventory holding component of spread and Huang and Stoll's methodology and Our methodology and model yields estimates of components of spread which is more in tune with the market micros tructure of OTCEI. The estimates obtained from empirical model too conforms to the market microstructure of OTCEI.

Depuis plusieurs années le LAAS-CNRS travaille sur la problématique de la détection de la baisse de vigilance d'un conducteur d'automobile à partir de l'analyse du mode de conduite, afin de réduire le grand nombre des accidents routiers. Dans ce contexte, nous nous sommes intéressés de dégager une mesure référante de l'hypovigilance qui permettrait, par comparaison, de valider le système de mesure embarqué associant des mesures comportementales. Cette thèse a porté sur l'analyse automatique des signaux physiologiques (EEG, EOG) permettant de caractériser la somnolence; et s'est inscrit dans le cadre du projet européen SENSATION. Ce travail s'articule en 2 parties. La première est dédiée à l'analyse des EEG et commence par une présentation de la forme d'onde des signaux à analyser et des phénomènes représentatifs de la somnolence, puis des techniques d'analyse susceptibles de répondre au problème posé : transformé de Fourier, décomposition en Ondelettes, transformation de Hilbert Huang; Pour la suite de l'étude, nous avons sélectionnée la transformation de Hilbert-Huang. La précision de cette méthode sera étudier qualitativement, avant de présenter l'algorithme développé et les premiers résultats obtenus sur des signaux réels. Les conclusions de l'analyse de la précision nous ont amené à modifier l'algorithme proposé par Huang en normalisant les composantes fournies par la transformation de Huang sur l'ensemble de la fenêtre d'analyse avant application de la transformation de Hilbert. La deuxième partie de la thèse est donc consacrée à la localisation et la caractérisation des clignements des yeux dans l'EOG. Avant de présenter l'algorithme développé, nous décrivons le signal étudié et le modèle de clignement proposé. Nous comparons ensuite, sur une base de données constituée durant des expériences menées sur un simulateur de conduite, les résultats obtenus par notre algorithme à une analyse semi-automatique. Une fois la détection des clignements validée, nous com parons le degré de somnolence déterminé après mise en place des règles utilisées par les experts à l'analyse visuelle des signaux. Le bilan du travail réalisé et les perspectives d'amélioration des résultats concluront ce travail.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and is associated with an increased mortality and morbidity. Identification of the sources of AF has been a goal of researchers for over 20 years. Current treatment procedures such as Cardio version, Radio Frequency Ablation, and multiple drugs have reduced the incidence of AF. Nevertheless, the success rate of these treatments is only 35-40% of the AF patients as they have limited effect in maintaining the patient in normal sinus rhythm. The problem stems from the fact that there are no methods developed to analyze the electrical activity generated by the cardiac cells during AF and to detect the aberrant atrial tissue that triggers it. In clinical practice, the sources triggering AF are generally expected to be at one of the four pulmonary veins in the left atrium. Classifying the signals originated from four pulmonary veins in left atrium has been the mainstay of signal analysis in this thesis which ultimately leads to correctly locating the source triggering AF. Unlike many of the current researchers where they use ECG signals for AF signal analysis, we collect intra cardiac signals along with ECG signals for AF analysis. AF Signal collected from catheters placed inside the heart gives us a better understanding of AF characteristics compared to the ECG. . In recent years, mechanisms leading to AF induction have begun to be explored but the current state of research and diagnosis of AF is mainly about the inspection of 12 lead ECG, QRS subtraction methods, spectral analysis to find the fibrillation rate and limited to establishment of its presence or absence. The main goal of this thesis research is to develop methodology and algorithm for finding the source of AF. Pattern recognition techniques were used to classify the AF signals originated from the four pulmonary veins. The classification of AF signals recorded by a stationary intra-cardiac catheter was done based on dominant frequency, frequency distribution and normalized power. Principal Component Analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality and further, Linear Discriminant Analysis was used as a classification technique. An algorithm has been developed and tested during recorded periods of AF with promising results.
