In this work, binary block-to-block distribution matching is considered. m independent and uniformly distributed bits are mapped to n output bits resembling a target product distribution. A rate R is called achieved by a sequence of encoder-decoder pairs, if for m,n → ∞, (1) m/n → R, (2) the informational divergence per bit of the output distribution and the target distribution goes to zero, an...

Four hundred fifty-two patients with chronic bifascicular block and initially intact atrioventricular (AV) conduction were detected, studied, and prospectively followed between January 1970 and March 1978. There were 360 males and 92 females, ages 18--93 years (mean +/- SD, 62 +/- 15 years). Follow-up ranged from 29-2804 days (mean 1066 +/- 97 days). AV block (2 degrees or 3 degrees) developed ...

in this paper, we propose a new method for the numerical solution of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds, which avoids from using starting values. an existence and uniqueness theorem is proved and convergence isverified by using an appropriate variety of the gronwall inequality. application of the method is demonstrated for solving the ...

We derive predictions for the Dirac phase [Formula: see text] present in the [Formula: see text] unitary neutrino mixing matrix [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text] unitary matrices which arise from the diagonalisation, respectively, of the charged lepton and the neutrino mass matrices. We consider forms of [Formula: see text] and [Formu...

The physics of disordered alloys, such as typically the well known case of CeNi1-xCux alloys, showing an interplay among the Kondo effect, the spin glass state and a magnetic order, has been studied firstly within an average description like in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. Recently, a theoretical model [1] involving a more local description of the intersite interaction has been proposed t...
