According to the classical view of the nervous system, the numerically superior glial cells have inferior roles in that they provide an ideal environment for neuronal-cell function. However, there is a wave of new information suggesting that glia are intimately involved in the active control of neuronal activity and synaptic neurotransmission. Recent evidence shows that glia respond to neuronal...

In order to avoid interference in cellular telephone networks, sets of radio frequencies are to be assigned to transmitters such that adjacent transmitters are allotted disjoint sets of frequencies. Often these transmitters are laid out like vertices of a triangular lattice in a plane. This problem corresponds to the problem of multicoloring an induced subgraph of a triangular lattice with inte...

Molecular communication networks consist of transmitters and receivers distributed in a fluid medium. The communication in these networks is realised by the transmitters emitting signalling molecules, which are diffused in the medium to reach the receivers. This paper investigates the properties of noise, or the variance of the receiver output, in molecular communication networks. The noise in ...

A model for the unsupervised segmentation and linguistic analysis of Arabic texts of Prophetic tradition (ḥadīṯs), SALAH, is proposed. The model automatically segments each text unit in a transmitter chain (isnād) and a text content (matn) and further analyses each segment according to two distinct pipelines: a set of regular expressions chunks transmitter chains in a graph labeled with the rel...

Sonar rings are composed of many ultrasonic receivers arranged in a ring and have in the past used many transmitters. The transmitters have been fired either serially or together and the receivers measure time-of-flight to reflectors in the environment. Serial transmission reduces the measurement rate around the entire ring, whilst parallel transmission incurs interference problems between neig...

The implementation of OFDM transmitters typically consists of a discrete DFT matrix and a digital-to-analog (DAC) converter. Many existing results on the analysis of OFDM systems, e.g., spectral roll-off, are based on a convenient analog representation. In this paper, we show that the analog representation and the DFT-based OFDM transmitters are equivalent only in special cases. Using the analo...

We characterize the sum capacity of the multiple antenna Gaussian broadcast channel by showing that the existing inner bound of Marton and the existing upper bound of Sato are tight for this channel. We exploit an intimate four-way connection between the multiple antenna broadcast channel, the corresponding point-to-point channel (where the receivers can cooperate), the multiple access channel ...

In cellular telephone networks, sets of radio channels (colors) must be assigned to transmitters (vertices) while avoiding interference. Often, the transmitters are laid out like vertices of a triangular lattice in the plane. We investigated the corresponding weighted coloring problem of assigning sets of colors to vertices of the triangular lattice so that the sets of colors assigned to adjace...

We characterize the sum capacity of the vector Gaussian broadcast channel by showing that the existing inner bound of Marton and the existing upper bound of Sato are tight for this channel. We exploit an intimate four-way connection between the vector broadcast channel, the corresponding point-to-point channel (where the receivers can cooperate), the multiple access channel (where the role of t...
