Cognitive radio network maximizes number of secondary users (SUs) without affecting the service of primary users (PUs). Admittance of SUs is not only affected by the path loss but also lognormal shadowing. In this paper, we have carried out the simulation study of joint admission and power control (JAPC) algorithms: JAPCMRER and JAPC-MSSRA in presence as well as absence of log-normal shadowing....

Invited for this issue's Front Cover is the group of Professor Fabio La Mantia at University Bremen (Germany). The cover picture shows developed theoretical variance error on admittance and how expression captures experimental values standard deviations real imaginary parts admittance.

An improved version of the multimodal admittance method in acoustic waveguides with varying cross sections is presented. This method aims at a better convergence with respect to the number of transverse modes that are taken into account. It is based on an enriched modal expansion of the pressure: the N first modes are the local transverse modes and a supplementary (N+1)th mode, called boundary ...

Three acoustic admittance measurements (tympanometric peak pressure, peak compensated static acoustic admittance, and tympanometric width) were compared across seven commercially available acoustic immittance systems. Forty-nine adult subjects (45 females and 4 males), 16 to 50 years of age (mean = 27.7 years), with normal middle ear function participated in this investigation. Small but statis...

We report on the GHz complex admittance of a chiral one-dimensional ballistic conductor formed by edge states in the quantum Hall regime. The circuit consists of a wide Hall bar (the inductor L) in series with a tunable resistor (R) formed by a quantum point contact. Electron interactions between edges are screened by a pair of side gates. Conductance steps are observed on both real and imagina...

Assessing the geomagnetic hazard to power systems requires reliable modelling of the geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) produced in the power network. This paper compares the Nodal Admittance Matrix method with the Lehtinen–Pirjola method and shows them to be mathematically equivalent. GIC calculation using the Nodal Admittance Matrix method involves three steps: (1) using the voltage sourc...

BACKGROUND The aims of the present study were to investigate clinically relevant patient and environment-related predictive factors for threats and violent incidents the first three days in a PICU population based on evaluations done at admittance. METHODS In 2000 and 2001 all 118 consecutive patients were assessed at admittance to a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Patient-related con...

Most techniques for power system analysis model the grid by exact electrical circuits. For instance, in power flow study, state estimation, and voltage stability assessment, the use of admittance parameters (i.e., the nodal admittance matrix) and hybrid parameters is common. Moreover, network reduction techniques (e.g., Kron reduction) are often applied to decrease the size of large grid models...

BACKGROUND Specialised palliative care (SPC) takes place in specialised services for patients with complex symptoms and problems. Little is known about what determines the admission of patients to SPC and whether there are differences in relation to institution type. The aims of the study were to investigate whether cancer patients' admittance to SPC in Denmark varied in relation to sex, age an...

This paper presents a systematic methodology for design and tuning of the current controller in LCL gridconnected converters for wind turbine applications. The design target is formulated as a minimization of the current loop dominant time constant, which is in accordance with standard design guidelines for wind turbine controllers (fast time response and high stability margins). The proposed a...
