In real propagation environment, channel reuse causes co-channel interference which will degrade MIMO channel performance. A Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) detection algorithm with 64-QAM technique is used to improve the quality of received signal in a high interference environment. Using Concatenating MMSE with SIC equalization, better cancellation gain can be achieved. In this pap...

Background: Post operative cognitive decline is more commonly seen in elderly aged patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) score is routinely used as a screening test to assess the cognitive status of a patient. We aimed to assess the trend in cognitive decline among middle (4059years) and elderly age (≥60 years) patients undergoing elective major non-c...

The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a widely used screening test for cognitive impairment, but is heavily biased by education. Educational level has frequently been ranked using years of schooling, which may not be a good indirect measure of educational level because there is great heterogeneity in standards of schooling among populations and across regions of the same country. S-TOFHLA...

Objective: To determine whether the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) could be used to predict short-term impairments in memory functions during a course of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). Method: Patients with severe depression (n=32) were followed up while they were receiving ECTs, and up to a month after that. They were rated independently and blindly on the MMSE for global cognitive dys...

This paper deals with arrival time estimation of a narrow-band signal disturbed by white gaussian noise. In order to estimate the distance between a transmitting source and a reflecting target an estimator, based on the criterion of minimum mean square error (MMSE), is investigated. The MMSE-estimator is implemented in an experimental ultrasound pulse-echo system, and results of comparative sim...

In this paper we investigate the enhancement of speech by applying MMSE short-time spectral magnitude estimation in the modulation domain. For this purpose, the traditional analysismodification-synthesis framework is extended to include modulation domain processing. We compensate the noisy modulation spectrum for additive noise distortion by applying the MMSE short-time spectral magnitude estim...

This paper introduces the notion of nonlinear MMSE multiuser detection and shows that MMSE signal estimates followed by single user detectors yield MAP (or minimum probability of error) decisions for CDMA signals. Iterative solutions are proposed for nonlinear MMSE estimation. If interferers’ codes are assumed to be known by the signal estimators for each user, the MMSE solution is shown to be ...

This study investigates the association of vitamin D status with cognitive function and discusses potential mechanisms for such an effect. The relationship of vitamin B12 with cognition was also assessed. A retrospective review of older adults presenting to a university-affiliated clinic providing consultative assessments for memory problems was performed. Charts of all patients (n=80) presenti...

This paper proposes an algorithm for detection in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication systems. The algorithm combines minimum mean square error (MMSE) and minimum mean square error with ordered successive interference cancellation (MMSE-OSIC) detectors with detection error estimation. Neyman-Pearson criterion is used and the decision boundary is derived. It helps the implementat...

Frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion can exploit the channel frequency-selectivity to obtain the frequency diversity gain and therefore, improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of broadband single-carrier (SC) signal transmissions in a severe frequency-selective fading channel. However, the performance improvement is limited by the res...
