The manner in which groups of neurons represent events in the external world is a central question in neuroscience. Estimation of the information encoded by small groups of neurons has shown that in many neural systems, cells carry mildly redundant information. These measures average over all the activity patterns of a neural population. Here, we analyze the population code of the salamander an...

In this article, we focus on Call Admission Control (CAC) in the presence of both real-time and elastic flows in a multicell UMTS environment where elastic flows share a common, shared channel. We first study the capacity of a multicell UMTS system. We determine an upper bound on the other-cell interference and obtain novel expressions for the SIR and powers for both the uplink and the downlink...

One of the most interesting and valuable services considered in fixed mobile convergence is video telephony. The success of this conversational video service will depend on the conversational video quality achieved in the multicell wireless indoor scenarios. One of the essential elements in the quality is the effect of the horizontal handovers in the conversational video. This paper analyzes th...

Multicell cooperation is a promising solution for cellular wireless systems to mitigate intercell interference, improve system fairness, and increase capacity. In this article, we propose power allocation techniques for the downlink of distributed, precoded, multicell cellular-based systems. The precoder is designed in two phases: first the intercell interference is removed by applying a set of...

A multicell thunderstorm cluster affected parts of the Breckland region in south Norfolk on afternoon 16 August 2020, producing as much 240mm rain. detailed mesoanalysis is constructed to analyse meteorological conditions present using conventional observations, reanalysis and privately owned automatic weather station observations. While instantaneous rain rates observed are not unprecedented, ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) box girders are a common structural member for road bridges in modern construction. The hollow cross-section of a box girder is ideal in carrying eccentric loads or torques introduced by skew supports. This study employed acoustic emission (AE) monitoring on multicell RC box girder specimens subjected to laboratory-based torsion loading. Three multicell box girder speci...
