Cyclic block filtered multi-tone (CB-FMT) is a waveform that can be efficiently synthesized through filter-bank in the frequency domain. Although main principles have been already established, channel estimation has not addressed yet. This because of assuming existing techniques based on pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM), implemented OFDM-like schemes, reused. However, PSAM leads to an un...

Mycotoxins are a very diverse group of natural products produced as secondary metabolites by fungi. Patulin is produced by mold species normally related to vegetable-based products and fruit, mainly apple. Its ingestion may result in agitation, convulsions, edema, intestinal ulceration, inflammation, vomiting, and even immune, neurological or gastrointestinal disorders. For this reason, the Eur...

At the bedrock section of the auxiliary shaft of the Tong-ting coal mine, the sidewall has varying degradation degrees in different parts. The part on which water flowed is barely corroded, whereas the moist part near the pouring joints is seriously corroded. We first studied the mechanism of this phenomenon by chromatography, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We then...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) have recently received considerable attention. To support VANET based applications, it is important to disseminate data from an information source (data center) to many vehicles on the road. Although disseminating data from a server to a large number of clients has been studied in the database community and the network community, many unique characteristics of ...
