This paper describes a lookup table for the addressing of an optimally shaped constellation. The method is based on partitioning the subconstellations into shaping macro-shells of integer bit rate and increasing average energy. The macro-shells do not need to have an equal number of points. A lookup table is used to select a subset of the partitions in the cartesian product space. By devising a...

A 7-year-old, 20 kg female had a 2 week history of polydipsia, polyuria and a weight loss of 2.5 kg. She was drowsy, but easily roused and answered questions appropriately.

this study was carried out on olive trees cv. amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, kno3, and zinc sulfate, znso4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. the plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% kno3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% znso4 and their combinations in august about halfway through the fruit growth period. the highest fruit weight was observe...

Abstract: point of view. In this study, a shaking-table was used for concentrating a manganese ore sample from the Ghasem Abadarea in Kerman, Iran. Experiments were designed by using LThe influence of each variable and their interactions on the operation of the device was studied. The variables underinvestigation were: table slope, table frequency, water flowrate, feed rate, and particle size. ...
