Aim To evaluate the effects of the vaginal erbium laser (VEL) in the treatment of postmenopausal women suffering from genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Method GSM was assessed in postmenopausal women before and after VEL (one treatment every 30 days, for 3 months; n = 45); the results were compared with the effects of a standard treatment for GSM (1 g of vaginal gel containing 50 μg of...

With ARM7 as the core, this paper discusses a kind of design of vehicle location system. The new mobile vehicle Positioning architecture and working theory of this system is integrated by a lot of hardware modules such as ARM microprocessor LPC2129 as a control unit to combinative with GPS LR9548 and GSM TC35 modules By the hardware/software co-design, the new mobile vehicle Positioning system ...

OBJECTIVE Carotid plaque echogenicity is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. Gray-scale median (GSM) of the ultrasound image of carotid plaques has been widely used as an objective method for evaluation of plaque echogenicity in patients with atherosclerosis. We proposed a computer-aided method to evaluate plaque echogenicity and compared its efficiency with GSM. METHODS One hu...

In this paper we investigate the impact on the performance of Speaker Veriication (SV) systems of the signal and channel coding in GSM cellular telephone networks. In this study only the eeects of the codec are investigated. This is done by transcoding the signals in an existing speech corpus, recorded in the xed network, to GSM. We compared text dependent SV performance of systems trained with...

The combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation has been shown to be an effective way substantially enhance the capacity bandlimited optical wireless communication (OWC) systems. In this paper, we propose four OFDM-based generalized MIMO (GO-MIMO) techniques for intensity-modulation direct-detection OWC syste...

A novel secure remote device access procedure and control system is presented in this paper. The user can send DTMF tones to access the control panel of the robot, which is connected to a GSM module. The DTMF tones can be sent by any cellular phone with any existing operator. The advantage of this system is the use of GSM technology for communication and any GSM mobile phone can be employed. Fu...

 Abstract— Customers can easily change their GSM operator after accepting the legal regulation on moving the number to the new operator in Turkey. In this study, fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) is used to rank for three Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) operators. Five main criteria are described and also sub-criteria are determined. Because of the pairwise comparisons is li...

We present a technique for designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) code matrices for the MCS-1 to MCS-4 coding schemes of GSM. We demonstrate that these codes have significant performance gains over randomly constructed LDPC codes in the GSM setup. The new codes also show significant gains in performance over the conventional MCS-1 to MCS-4 GSM coding schemes when compared in terms of the bit...

Based on the classical optical coherence theory, ghost imaging with twisted Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams is analyzed. It is found that the twist phase of the GSM beam has strong influence on ghost imaging. As the absolute value of the twist factor increases, the ghost image disappears gradually, but its visibility increases. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the twist phase enhanc...
