Crosstalk cancellation plays an important role in displaying binaural signals with loudspeakers. It aims to reproduce binaural signals at a listener’s ears via inverting acoustic transfer paths. The crosstalk cancellation filter should be updated in real time according to the head position. This demands high computational efficiency for a crosstalk cancellation algorithm. To reduce the computat...

Polar codes under successive cancellation decoding proposed by Ar{\i}kan provably achieve the symmetric capacity of any given binary-input discrete memoryless channel. The successive cancellation list decoder for polar codes was described by Tal and Vardy as a generalization of the successive cancellation decoder of Ar{\i}kan. The performance of the successive cancellation list decoder is encou...

We have used a remifentanil-based anaesthetic for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery who would normally have gone to the intensive care unit in this hospital. Avoiding intensive care unit admission was considered an advantage as a shortage of intensive care unit beds was leading to the cancellation of operations. We first used remifentanil as part of a safety and efficacy study. The ai...

Successive interference cancellation techniques have the potential to reduce the interference and therefore increase the capacity of cellular radio systems. In this work, we analyze a linear DS-CDMA receiver utilizing soft feedback interference cancellation. To be able to meet diverse QoS requirements, we introduce a power control scheme that takes into account heterogeneous service levels as w...

Co-site interference is a problem found everywhere from wireless systems and environmental sensors to military communications; it refers to the difficulty of extracting or detecting a weak signal in proximity to a strong transmitter. Traditional interference cancellation techniques are electronics-based and their performance is consequently bandwidthlimited; electronic interference cancellation...

Abstract COVID-19 has disrupted healthcare operations and resulted in large-scale cancellations of elective surgery. Hospitals throughout the world made life-altering resource allocation decisions prioritised care patients. Without effective models to evaluate strategies encompassing non-COVID-19 care, hospitals face risk making sub-optimal local decisions. A discrete-event-simulation model is ...

Active cancellation stealth is a significant developing direction in modern stealth technology field. In this paper, according to characteristics of linear frequency modulated (LFM) signal and nonlinear frequency modulated (NLFM) signal, the cancellation signal was designed. An important parameter called cancellaty which is used to measure the effect of cancellation is proposed. The basic theor...

In an effort to reduce costs, many hospitals may use registered nurses (RNs) with little to no formal education or training in anesthetic or surgical risk to perform anesthesia preoperative interviews (APIs). This lack of education and training can result in day of surgery delays and cancellations because of suboptimal preparation of patients for anesthesia and surgery. The Focused Anesthesia I...
