Partial Power and Rate Adaptation for MQAM/OFDM Systems under CFO
(IEEE, 2014)
In this paper a new partial power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO). The conventional adaptive scheme is ...
Outage Probability of a Cooperative Maximum Ratio Transmission
(IEEE, 2014)
In this paper we present a cooperative communication system employing maximum ratio transmission technique and its outage probability performance over Rayleigh fading channels. Since maximum ratio transmission can achieve ...
Collectivity in Heavy Nuclei in the Shell Model Monte Carlo Approach
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
The microscopic description of collectivity in heavy nuclei in the framework of the configuration-interaction shell model has been a major challenge. The size of the model space required for the description of heavy nuclei ...
The Cold War Origins of the Turkish Motor Vehicle Industry: The Tuzla Jeep 1954-1971
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014)
With its automobile exports measured in millions of units annually Turkey has become one of the top automobile producing nations in Europe. The current state of the Turkish motor vehicle industry stands in contrast to its ...
After the Crimean crisis: towards a greater Russian maritime power in the Black Sea
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014)
The modernization of the Black Sea Fleet currently underway is believed to be one of the most ambitious parts of the Russian State Arms Procurement programme 2011-2020. Up to 18 units are being built and are expected to ...
An Inverse Boundary Value Problem for a Second Order Elliptic Equation in a Rectangle
(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2014)
In this paper the inverse problem of finding a coefficient in a second order elliptic equation is investigated. The conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the classical solution of the problem under consideration ...
Elastic Properties of a Swollen PAAm-NIPA Copolymer with Various NIPA Contents
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Copolymer based on cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAAm) having N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) was prepared and their elastic properties were studied as a function of NIPA contents. NIPA content dependency of the shear modulus ...
Effect of Calcium Ion Concentration on Small Molecule Desorption from Alginate Beads
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2014)
Spherical alginate beads were prepared by ionotropic gelation of sodium alginate through the use of calcium ions. Pyranine (Py) was added to the alginate solution as a small molecule probe for fluorescence studies. Desorption ...
Resolved turbulence characteristics in large-eddy simulations nested within mesoscale simulations using the weather research and forecasting model
(2014)
One-way concurrent nesting within the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) is examined for conducting large-eddy simulations (LES) nested within mesoscale simulations. Wind speed spectra and resolved turbulent ...
Exploring competitive intelligence practices of French local public agricultural organisations
(Halmstad University, 2014)
Modern agriculture has increased the need for information when making strategic decisions for farmers since they must be more entrepreneurial to survive. This paper investigates the levels of Competitive Intelligence ...
