| Motivated by the fact that time delays in a practical Direct-Sequence Code-Division Multiple-Access system can never be perfectly estimated, an improved Minimum-Mean Squared-Error (MMSE) based receiver is proposed and analyzed. Via the simple assumption of a probability distribution for the delay estimation errors, the proposed receiver can achieve performance superior to that of the conventi...

The ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis of aspirin methyl ester (AME) was investigated using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) (1%) in the presence of solvents like triolein, chloroform (CHCl3) and dichloromethane (DCM). The effect of ultrasound and the role of water on the conversion rates have also been investigated. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic (1H NMR) was chosen ...

All-pole modeling is a widely used formant estimation method, but its performance is known to deteriorate for high-pitched voices. In order to address this problem, several all-pole modeling methods robust to fundamental frequency have been proposed. This study compares five such previously known methods and introduces a technique, Weighted Linear Prediction with Attenuated Main Excitation (WLP...

The accessory medulla (AMe), a small neuropil in the optic lobe, houses the master circadian clock in the brain of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae and controls circadian rhythms in locomotor activity. Recently, members of the orcokinin family of crustacean neuropeptides were identified in a cockroach and a locust and were shown by immunocytochemistry to be prominently present in the AMe. In th...

Achillea millefolium (AM) is widely used in traditional medicine a wide geography due to its effects on the female reproductive system. However, effect uterine smooth muscle contractions unknown. Our study aims investigate of AM spontaneous and oxytocin-induced isolated rat contractions. Myometrial strips were obtained from 32 adult Wistar Albino rats. Contraction amplitudes frequencies recorde...

We observed four nearby spiral galaxies (NGC 3627, NGC 4254, 4736 and 5055) in the K band with 64-m Sardinia Radio Telescope, aim of detecting Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME), a radiation component presumably due to spinning dust grains, so far Milky Way handful other only (most notably, M 31). mapped at 18.6 24.6 GHz studied their global photometry together radio-continuum data from literat...

An experiment (3 trials) was conducted to determine the AME(n) of 15 corn co-products obtained from various wet and dry milling plants, and to develop prediction equations for AME(n) based on chemical composition. Co-products included distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS, n = 6), high-protein distillers dried grains (n = 2), corn germ (n = 2), corn germ meal, corn bran with solubles, cor...

This paper outlines a framework for modelling organisational -·,communication. It also describes an object oriented environment (the AME) that has been used to explore such models. The AME consists of a database that holds a description of the structure of an organisation and its on-going activities. A rule interpreter makes use of the database to assist in the processing of activity related me...

We describe a case of aggressive adenomyoepithelioma (AME) of the breast with a lymph node metastasis. A 63-year-old female presented with a fluctuating breast mass and clinically palpable lymph nodes. The patient underwent excisional biopsy followed by mastectomy with lymph node dissection and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Clinical behavior of both benign and malignant AME is described with the ...
