Two high-PMD long distance routes were characterized and used to test an optical polarization mode dispersion compensator (PMDC) under field conditions. For this trial, 110 km routes with mean PMD values of 25 and 26.5 ps were provisioned with commercial WDM transport equipment and tested for several weeks. The route was comprised of three spans of characterized fiber that followed railroad tra...

conclusions project management may benefit both the managerial and scientific aspects of medical projects and reduce fund waste. however, little has been written to date on project management in the context of clinical research. the suggestions represent the views of the individual authors. to provide a high level of evidence in this regard, we recommend that a randomized controlled trial be pe...

The analysis of single trial responses of field potentials is an important tool to study brain signals. Single trial analyses can indeed provide additional information that is obscured or simply not available in the average responses. The importance of studying single trial responses is reinforced by the fact that different brain processes are correlated with trial-by-trial variation of the res...
