New rate-compatible convolutional (RCC) codes with high constraint lengths and a wide range of code rates are presented. These new codes originate from rate 1/4 optimum distance spectrum (ODS) convolutional parent encoders with constraint lengths 7-10. Low rate encoders (rates 115 down to 1/10) are found by a nested search, and high rate encoders (rates above 1/4) are found by rate-compatible punc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Människors sätt att visualisera objekt bygger på en del underliggande principer som man kanske inte alltid reflekterar över. Det faktum att vi har just två ögon gör det till exempel möjligt för oss att avgöra på vilket avstånd ett objekt befinner sig. Detta kallas för parallaxeffekten. Kameror, som bara har ett "öga", saknar denna förmåga, vilket försvårar avbildande mäLaser sheet imaging, also known as planar laser imaging, is one of the most versatile optical imaging techniques known and is frequently applied in several different domains. It furthermore constitutes the basis for a variety of other 2D methods, in turn allowing visualization of e.g. velocity, particle size, species concentration and temperature. However, when applied on turbid, light scattering
INTRODUCTION: The use of EVAR for more complex aneurysm anatomy has become more widespread over the past decade. Fenestrated and branched stent grafts for the visceral and iliac segment show promising short- and midterm outcome and these procedures have become routine in many vascular centers. However, at present, such grafts are customized to the individual patient and planning and manufacturing
A low phase noise CMOS LC quadrature VCO (QVCO) with a wide frequency range of 3.6-5.6 GHz, designed in a standard 0.18 /spl mu/m process for multi-standard front-ends, is presented. A significant advantage of the topology is the larger oscillation amplitude when compared to other conventional QVCO structures. The QVCO is compared to a double cross-coupled LC-tank differential oscillator, both in
We examine the relationship between government size and economic growth, controlling for economic freedom and globalization, and using Bayesian Averaging over Classical Estimates in a panel of rich countries.
Countries with big government have experienced above average increases in the KOF globalization index and in the Fraser institute's Economic freedom index. To maintain comparability with e
The aim of the overview is to give a perspective of global biobank development is given in a view of positioning biobanking as a key resource for healthcare to identify new potential markers that can be used in patient diagnosis and complement the targeted personalized drug treatment. The fast progression of biobanks around the world is becoming an important resource for society where the patient
Simple analytical upper bounds, approximations and lower bounds on the error functionQ(x)are presented and analyzed. A class of functions are given, where the choice of two parameters result in good upper bounds, lower bounds and approximations onQ(x). The results are given in formulas, parameter tables and graphs. The approximations are suitable for programmable pocket calculators.
Telecommunications industries are investing tremendously to meet the ever-increasing demands for higher data rates and capacity. In particular to develop standardization for 5G, which is expected around 2020. The existing spectrum for traditional mobile networks is limited to highly occupied bands at microwave frequencies below 6 GHz. It is expected that 5G will use millimeter-waves to enable high
The movement of water in a large (3.5 m(3)) undisturbed sample of 22-year-old municipal solid waste has been modeled using a kinematic wave approximation for unsaturated infiltration and internal drainage. The model employs a two-parameter power expression as macroscopic flux law. The model parameters were determined and interpreted in terms of the internal geometry of the waste medium by fitting
Software release planning can be described as a process consisting of the following three phases: (i) strategic release planning, i.e. the assignment of features to subsequent releases, (ii) operational release planning, i.e. the allocation of resources to tasks within each individual release, and (iii) dynamic re-planning, i.e. the revision of plans to handle unexpected changes imposed on product
The results of an extensive search for short and moderate length polynomial convolutional encoders for time-invariant tail-biting representations of block codes at rates R=1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 are reported. The tail-biting representations found are typically as good as the best known block codes
The empirical-bias bandwidth selector (EBBS) is a method for data-driven selection of bandwidths for local polynomial regression. It is a bandwidth selection method for estimation of the mean-function and its partial derivatives of any order as well as for estimation of the variance-function. Moreover EBBS allows for univariate as well as multivariate predictor variables. In this paper we introd
