Handoff is an essential component of mobile cellular system. Mobility causes dynamic variations in link quality and interference levels in cellular system. There are so many advantages of using soft handoff than hard handoff. So, in order to reap the benefits of soft handoff it is necessary that the handoff parameters will be set well. There are several performance indicators to evaluate the sy...

In this study, thermodynamic performance of R432A and HCFC22 is measured in a heat pump bench tester under both air-conditioning and heat pumping conditions. R432A has no ozone depletion potential and very low greenhouse warming potential of less than 5. R432A also offers a similar vapor pressure to that of HCFC22 for ‘drop-in’ replacement. Test results showed that the coefficient of performanc...

We propose a novel system of a broadband source generation using a common soliton pulse (i.e. with center wavelength at 1.55 m) propagating within a nonlinear microring and nanoring resonators system. A system consists of a micro ring resonator system incorporating an add/drop filter, whereas the large bandwidth signals can be generated, stored and regenerated within the system. By using the a...

This paper addresses the problem of adapting a generic 3D face model to a human face of which the frontal and profile views are given. Assuming that a set of feature points have been detected on both views the adaptation procedure initializes with a rigid transformation of the model aiming to minimize the distances of the 3D model feature nodes from the calculated 3D coordinates of the 2D featu...

Drop size distribution in a mixer-settler is an essential design parameter, as obtaining drop size distribution will result in optimum performance of equipment. In this paper for obtaining drop size, several experiments have been performed with a single stage horizontal mixer-settler. A video technique has been used in order to measure the drop size in the mixer-settler with the help of a digit...

Impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a risk factor for the development of hypertension in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, markers of tubular function were not tested whether they are linked to hypertension or blood pressure (BP) level. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between renal concentrating capacity and BP in chil...

Memoryless channels with deletion errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for bit drop outs are considered in which transmitted bits are either independently deleted with probability d or unchanged with probability 1 − d. Such channels are information stable, hence their Shannon capacity exists. However, computation of the channel capacity is formidable, and only some upper an...
