Integrating scientific guidance into marine spatial planning

Integrating scientific guidance into marine spatial planning.

Marine spatial planning (MSP), whereby areas of the ocean are zoned for different uses, has great potential to reduce or eliminate conflicts between competing management goals, but only if strategically applied. The recent literature overwhelmingly agrees that including stakeholders in these planning processes is critical to success; but, given the countless alternative ways even simple spatial...

Integrating Spatial Modulation Into 802.11n

Spatial modulation (SM) is a newly emerging multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique which actives only one transmit antenna at any time instant and provides improved energy efficiency and error performance as compared with convention MIMO techniques. In this paper, we propose to integrate SM into the IEEE 802.11n standard in order to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance when the...

Integrating Capacity Simulation into Process Planning

Process planning in the automotive industry is referred to as advance manufacturing engineering, because it is done in advance of production — before the facilities are created. When developing these processes, simulation is typically done by service groups, not the process planner, resulting in communication errors and unnecessary iterations. Software applications are now becoming available th...
