Five-year surveillance of nosocomial infections following orthopedic surgery in a private medical center
(Springer, 2008)
Introduction Nosocomial infections (NI) are a major problem in health care facilities resulting in extended length of stay substantial morbidity and mortality and excess cost. In this study we aimed to know the rates ...
Electrochromic properties of heat-treated thin films of CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 prepared by sol-gel route
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008)
CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 thin films were prepared using the sol-gel process and deposited on glass and ITO-coated glass substrates via dipcoating technique. The samples were heat treated between 100 and 500 degrees C. The heat ...
Performance of transmit and receive antenna selection in the presence of channel estimation errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008)
This letter considers the effect of channel estimation errors on the performance of space-time coded (STC) systems with transmit and receive antenna selection over quasi-static flat fading channels. By performing pairwise ...
Osteochondritis dissecans of the tarsal navicular
(AMER ORTHOPAEDIC FOOT & ANKLE SOC INC, 2008)
A 27-year-old male athlete presented with chronic right dorsal midfoot pain and limitation in midfoot movements. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an nondisplaced osteochondral fragment within ...

Petrochemistry of the south Marmara granitoids northwest Anatolia Turkey
(Springer, 2008)
Post-collision magmatic rocks are common in the southern portion of the Marmara region (Kapidag Karabiga Gonen Yenice Can areas) and also on the small islands (Marmara Avsa Pasalimani) in the Sea of Marmara. They are ...
Broadband Equalizer Design with Commensurate Transmission Lines via Reflectance Modeling
(IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, 2008)
In this paper an alternative approach is presented to design equalizers (or matching networks) with commensurate (or equal length) transmission lines. The new method automatically yields the matching network topology with ...
Performance analysis of transmit and receive antenna selection over flat fading channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008)
The paper considers two different antenna selection schemes for space-time coded systems over flat fading channels. First we explore antenna selection at the transmitter side based on the received signal to noise ratios. ...
An efficient joint channel estimation and decoding algorithm for turbo-coded space-time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing receivers
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2008)
The challenging problem in the design of digital receivers of today's and future high-speed high data-rate wireless communication systems is to implement the optimal decoding and channel estimation processes jointly in a ...
Performance of Distributed Estimation Over Unknown Parallel Fading Channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008)
We consider distributed estimation of a source in additive Gaussian noise observed by sensors that are connected to a fusion center with unknown orthogonal (parallel) flat Rayleigh fading channels. We adopt a two-phase ...
