DOI:10.1109/TIT.2017.2655342We present a novel relationship between the distribution of circular and non-circular complex Gaussian random variables. Specifically, we show that the distribution of the squared norm of a non-circular complex Gaussian random variable, usually referred to as the squared Hoyt distribution, can be constructed from a conditional exponential distribution. From this fundamental connection we introduce a new approach, the Hoyt transform method, that allows to analyze the performance of a wireless link under Hoyt (Nakagami-q) fading in a very simple way. We illustrate that many performance metrics for Hoyt fading can be calculated by leveraging well-known results for Rayleigh fading and only performing a finite-range integral. We use this technique to obtain novel results for some information and communication-theoretic metrics in Hoyt fading channels.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Execelencia Internacional.

Relationship between group sunspot number and Wolf sunspot number

Continuous wavelet transform and cross-wavelet transform have been used to investigate the phase periodicity and synchrony of the monthly mean Wolf ($R_{z}$) and group ($R_{g}$) sunspot numbers during the period of June 1795 to December 1995. The Schwabe cycle is the only one common period in Rg and Rz, but it is not well-defined in case of cycles 5-7 of Rg and in case of cycles 5 and 6 of $R_{z}$. In fact, the Schwabe period is slightly different in $R_{g}$ and $R_{z}$ before cycle 12, but from cycle 12 onwards it is almost the same for the two time series. Asynchrony of the two time series is more obviously seen in cycles 5 and 6 than in the following cycles, and usually more obviously seen around the maximum time of a cycle than during the rest of the cycle. $R_{g}$ is found to fit $R_{z}$ better in both amplitudes and peak epoch during the minimum time time of a solar cycle than during the maximum time of the cycle, which should be caused by their different definition, and around the maximum time of a cycle, $R_{g}$ is usually less than $R_{z}$. Asynchrony of $R_{g}$ and $R_{z}$ should somewhat agree with different sunspot cycle characteristics exhibited by themselves

Letter from Ralph Hoyt Case to Senator Langer Regarding the Tribal Business Council, May 10, 1946

This letter dated May 10, 1946, from Ralph Hoyt Case to United States Senator William Langer, Hoyt writes in response to a previous letter sent by Langer regarding a Tribal Business Council meeting. Hoyt also states that he will be in Warsaw on May 30, 1946 and that his train reservation will leave from Mandan the morning of the May 30th.

Regular Kac-Moody superalgebras and integrable highest weight modules

We define regular Kac-Moody superalgebras and classify them using integrable modules. We give conditions for irreducible highest weight modules of regular Kac-Moody superalgebras to be integrable. This paper is a major part of the proof for the classification of finite-growth contragredient Lie superalgebras.Comment: added reference; corrected typo

Is the Press Anti-Labor Or Just Out of Touch...

[Excerpt] At 12:01 a.m., November 1, All Saints\u27 Day 1983, the Chrysler Corporation\u27s stamping plant in Twinsburg, Ohio, suddenly fell silent. Members of United Auto Workers Local 122 shut down their machines for a strike. As the door panels, floor pans, and other parts they produce stopped flowing across the country from Twinsburg, the only source of supply for these parts, half a dozen Chrysler assembly plants fell silent too. In New York that night, on NBC Nightly News, Tom Brokaw called it a wildcat strike -—an unauthorized walkout. On the other coast, a Los Angeles Times editor changed the first paragraphs of the Detroit bureau\u27s story, making it Robert Weissman\u27s strike, a walkout almost singlehandedly engineered by Weissman, the president of the Twinsburg local union. The alterations made the story conform more closely with other coverage around the country, which implied that a pack of militants in Twinsburg was knocking Chrysler down just as the company was getting up off its knees. That was Chrysler\u27s line on the strike, but it was just one way of looking at it. Weissman, a man who does not regard the title of militant as a smear, has few fans among the top leaders of the UAW. But authorization for his local\u27s strike had been carefully cleared through the union\u27s regional director, its Chrysler director, and its new president, Owen Bieber, following fifteen fruitless months of local bargaining. As often happens in labor stories, a lot of good questions went unasked in Twinsburg. For example, what was the strike about
