Abstract The microstatistic multi-user receiver (MSF-MUD) belongs to non–linear single–stage multi-user receivers' family (NSS–MUD) [1-3]. The output of the MSF-MUD is taken as the sign of the multi-channel nonlinear transformation of the output of a bank of the matched filters (BMF). The non-linear transformation is made by multi-channel conventional microstatistic filter (M-CMF) [2]. The M-CM...

Responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex depend on the direction of the induced current with an optimum perpendicular to the orientation of the precentral gyrus. Little is known about anisotropy in other cortical regions. We measured phosphene thresholds in the visual cortex using a frameless neuronavigation system. Comparing horizontal and vertical current orien...

Leakage power is the main dominant source of power dissipation for Sub-lOOlJm VLSI circuits. Various techniques were proposed to reduce the leakage power dissipation; one of these techniques is Multi-Threshold voltage. In this paper, the exact and optimal values of Threshold Voltage (Vth) for each transistor of the design are found for any sequential circuit. This is achieved by applying Artifi...

OBJECTIVE The validity of HbA(1c) as a population diagnostic tool was tested against oral glucose tolerance testing in Abu Dhabi nationals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The screening tool of HbA(1c) and random glucose was validated against the "gold standard" oral glucose tolerance test according to World Health Organization criteria. RESULTS The HbA(1c) threshold of 6.4% provided the optimu...

An inorganic-organic hybrid (IOH) of silica particulates and polyethylene (PE) was investigated, where silica was employed as an analogue to lunar soil. The objective was to search for the optimum materials design strategy for “lunar cements” – infrastructural materials based on locally harvestable resources on the Moon. If the silica particulate size was uniform, the flexure strength of the IO...

The iterative majority improved decoders are described. They are called multithreshold decoders (MTD). These decoders have a property of convergence to the solution of the optimum decoder with keeping linear complexity of implementation, which one is a property of usual threshold procedures. Different decoding applications are discussed. Experimental results are submitted. Decoder realization a...

Dynamic resource allocation based on the current channel state is a promising strategy to increase the capacity of wireless links. In this paper, the optimum accessing and resource allocation scheme for fading multiple–access channels with partial CSI at the transmitters are found. Partial knowledge of the fading states is a reasonable assumption for systems which provide a low rate feedback ch...

The increase number of mobile users in wireless environment affects query access time substantially. To minimise the query access time, one possible way is to employ data broadcasting strategy. In this paper, we propose cost models for both query access time over broadcast channel and on-demand channel. We examine the cost models to find optimum number of broadcast items in a channel while util...

The simplest majority type decoders for the character data decoding are described. They are called non-binary multithreshold decoders (QMTD). These decoders have a property of convergence to the solution of the optimum decoder with keeping linear complexity of implementation, which one is property of threshold procedures. Decoder error probabilities are discussed. Experimental results are submi...
