The application of artificial neural network (ANN) methodology for modelling daily flows during monsoon flood events for a large size catchment of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh (India) is presented. The spatial variation of rainfall is accounted for by subdividing the catchment and treating the average rainfall of each subcatchment as a parallel and separate lumped input to the model. A l...

As a continuation of a previous controlled trial using "high-dose" metronidazole as a specific sensitizer of hypoxic cells, we used a more efficient nitroimidazole derivative (misonidazole, MISO) in combination with higher doses of radiation in patients with supratentorial high-grade astrocytomas. Sixty-six patients were stratified according to functional level and histological grading, and ran...

This current paper addresses the noncooperative distributed wireless relay networks under a jamming environment. The amplifyand-forward single-input multiple-output (SIMO) and multiple-input single-output (MISO) schemes are considered with multiple N-relay nodes. The main contribution of this paper is to determine the optimal relay precoder vectors by minimizing the minimum mean square error (M...

The impact of imperfect CSIT on the degrees of freedom (DoF) of a time correlated MISO Broadcast Channel has drawn a lot of attention recently. Maddah-Ali and Tse have shown that the completely stale CSIT still benefit the DoF. In very recent works, Yang et al. have extended the results by integrating the partial current CSIT for a two-user MISO broadcast channel. However, those researches so f...

There is a strong motivation for using multiple sensors for feedback control in ultrahigh accuracy data storage devices such as a probe-based data storage device. One elegant way to design such controllers using multiple sensors is to design a direct multi-input-single-output (MISO) controller using either the H2 or H∞ control design paradigm. In this paper we discuss the control of a micro-sca...

Relay nodes are the main players of cooperative networks that used to improve the system performance and to offer virtual multiple antennas for limited antenna devices in a multi-user environment. However, employing relaying strategies requires considerable resources at the relay side and places a large burden on the relay helping node especially when considering the power consumption. Partial ...

An improved index for real-time monitoring and forecast verification 7 of monsoon intraseasonal oscillations (MISOs) is introduced using the recently de-8 veloped nonlinear Laplacian spectral analysis (NLSA) technique. Using NLSA, a 9 hierarchy of Laplace-Beltrami (LB) eigenfunctions are extracted from unfiltered 10 daily rainfall data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project over the ...
