The capacity performance of visible light communication (VLC) systems can be improved by using sparse code multiple access (SCMA).Since SCMA is a codebook-based multiple access scheme, the design of the Chair with Cushion (set of 2) codebook is crucial.SCMA codebook performance is severely affected by shot noise.Although several codebook design met
Prognostic markers derived from standard ECG have always been seductive.Increased dispersion of durations of the P wave, of the QRS complex, Wobbly Bowl or of the QT interval has been associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, as well as with a general negative prognosis in various settings.Howev
Introduction: Long-term care is an effective intervention that help older people cope with significant declines in capacity.The growing demand for long-term care signals a new social risk and has been given a higher political priority in China.In 2016, 15 local authorities have been selected to pilot the long-term care insurance programme.However,
In most parts of the world ratite farming (i.e.farming of ostriches, emus and rheas) is a new fi eld of livestock production.These birds are livestock with broad utilisation of their products.Both wild Gloves and captive ostriches, emus and rheas may be infested with their own specifi c parasites as well as with external and internal parasites of o
Aerothermal heat transfer measurements in fluid dynamics have a relatively high acceptance of uncertainty due to the intricate nature of the experiments.The large velocity and pressure gradients present in turbomachinery application add further complexity to the measurement procedure.Recent method and manufacturing development has addressed some of
