The bit error probability (BEP) of binary and quaternary PSK (BPSK and QPSK) signals over Rayleigh fading channel with imperfect carrier-phase recovery is derived. The channel is assumed to be slow and frequency-nonselective in which the received signal is constant over at least two symbol intervals. Numerical values for the average BEP are obtained by integrating the conditional BEP expression...

Objective: Dynamic psychotherapies are effective in treating anxiety disorders. However, little is known about their effectiveness in treating Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD). The present research aimed to examine the effectiveness of Brief Empathic Psychotherapy (BEP) and anxiety-regulating dynamic therapy or Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) in reducing depression and anxiety in a sample o...

We determined the knowledge of parents of 200 pediatric patients for bacterial endocarditis prophylaxis (BEP ), using an eight question survey pertaining to their knowledge of their child's cardiac disease, medications, and BEP. The patient's cardiac lesion and current medications were verified at the time of admission for diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization. Each patient's...

WOMENS Healthworks developed the Body Esteem program (BEP) in 2005 to respond to consumer need for accessible and community-based services for women living with an eating disorder. Core services include: -20 week facilitated self-help groups for women over the age of 18 with Anorexia/Bulimia Nervosa or Binge Eating Disorder An Education and Support Workshop for family members or loved ones Posi...

BACKGROUND Combination of bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP) remains the standard chemotherapy for testicular cancer. Since the development of BEP in the 1980s, there has been a considerable advance in supportive therapies, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating-factor and 5-HT3 antagonists. Therefore, we re-evaluated the completion and toxicity of BEP combined with modern supportive care...

In this paper we evaluated the performance of orthogonal space-time block codes with transmit antenna selection (TAS/OSTBCs) for frequency-flat correlated Rayleigh fading channels. By effective use of the probability density function (pdf), the bit error probability (BEP) for binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and M-ary Quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) is derived first. Further we evaluate...

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening young children for behavioral and emotional problems (BEP) during primary care visits. Because of time constraints, few primary care providers (PCPs) use standardized screening tools to detect BEP. The Early Childhood Screening Assessment (ECSA) is a brief screening tool developed specifically to meet the needs of pediatric primary care pr...

Several functionally defined in vitro antibody generating systems were used to assess the immunomodulating mechanisms of the benzopyrenes. When benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) or benzo(e)pyrene (BeP) was incorporated into a T-dependent antibody (TDAb)-producing spleen cell culture system, dose- and time-dependent inhibition of plaque-forming cell responses was observed. Addition of BaP at concentrations a...

Background: Aprepitant is a highly effective but expensive antiemetic drug. Repeated treatment with aprepitant is required to control emesis in multiple-day chemotherapy. In the present study, cost-effectiveness analysis was carried out for the use of aprepitant in multiple-day chemotherapy, including FP (5-fluorouracil, cisplatin) for head and neck cancer and BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplat...
