Interatrial block (IAB) denotes a conduction delay between the two atria (P-wave duration ≥110 ms). Depending on the severity of the block, IAB can be partial or advanced. Even though several studies have reported a high prevalence of IAB, it still remains a diagnosis many neglect without any follow-up. The crisis in IAB is undramatic until predictable complications appear. Nevertheless, the da...

In this paper, the combination of equalization and turbo decoding is studied. In the iterative decoding of a product code in block turbo coding system, the equalization process is performed within the iteration loop. The present study aims to investigate the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) incorporated in the iterative decoding. Simulation results show that the more severe the channel interfe...

1 The asymptotic refinements attributable to the block bootstrap for time series are not as large as those of the nonparametric iid bootstrap or the parametric bootstrap. One reason is that the independence between the blocks in the block bootstrap sample does not mimic the dependence structure of the original sample. This is the join-point problem. In this paper, we propose a method of solving...

Quite similiar to the Sieve of Erastosthenes, the best-known general algorithms for fac-toring large numbers today are memory-bounded processes. We develop three variations of the sieving phase and discuss them in detail. The fastest modiication is tailored to RISC processors and therefore especially suited for modern workstations and massively parallel supercomputers. For a 116 decimal digit c...

B) is said to have the Size Four property if the blocks in B can be partitioned into two isomorphic sets. In this paper we construct block with four with the property, thus the exception of 6 A. Rosa [4]).
