With the advancement of technologies in communication field, high data rate in addition to both power efficiency and lower bit error rate have always been areas of interest for scientist. The ever increasing demand of high data rate can be fulfilled by the single carrier modulation along with the tradeoff between the power efficiency and bit error rate. It is very difficult to achieve high data...

In the last decade, wireless communications have become increasingly popular as powerful and costeffective platforms for mobile communications. According to the demand of wireless communications field there should be high data rate in addition to both power efficiency and lower bit error rate. This demand of high data rate can be fulfilled by the single carrier modulation with compromising the ...

in this study, feasibility of upgrading and retrofitting municipal wastewater treatment plantswas investigated at laboratory scale using moving bed biofilm reactor (mbbr) process. for this purpose,an aerobic pilot was operated for nearly one year in different conditions, in which a moving bed carrier with aspecific biofilm surface area of 500 m2/m3 and a filling rate of 60% was utilized. system...

The goal of this research project was to further the development of an electromechanically controlled variable-orifice nozzle by creating an electronic control system and then evaluating that system based on step and ramp inputs. The control system was developed in a programming environment that combined an electronic data acquisition system and actuator with pressure and flow sensors. A propor...
