In this paper, we propose a hybrid M -ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M -QAM) transmission scheme that jointly uses adaptive modulation and selection combining for singular value decomposition (SVD)-based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems (AMSC-MIMO). We derive exact closed-form expressions of the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of the average spectral efficiency an...

nano-cufe2o4 catalysts with different cu/fe molar ratios (cunfemo(n+1.5m)) were prepared by hydrothermal method. the thermal decomposition performance of cunfemo(n+1.5m) on cuso4 were determined with tg-dsc method to evaluate its catalytic activity and the roasted product was characterized by xrd. the results showed that cunfemo(n+1.5m) had superior catalytic properties and efficiency to cuso4 ...

To gain insight into factors that control H(2)O(2) persistence and ·OH yield in H(2)O(2)-based in situ chemical oxidation systems, the decomposition of H(2)O(2) and transformation of phenol were investigated in the presence of iron-containing minerals and aquifer materials. Under conditions expected during remediation of soil and groundwater, the stoichiometric efficiency, defined as the amount...

A mixture of 10 wt% CuO-10 wt% Fe2O3 supported on cordierite were prepared by wet impregnation. The as-prepared solids doped with Li2O (0.75-3 mol %) were calcined at 500-900 ºC. The crystalline phase, morphology, and surface area were investigated by XRD, HR-TEM and N2-adsoprtion-desorption. Moreover, their photocatalytic activities of samples calcined at 700°C on the degradation of phenol wer...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). This tool has been utilized by a number of authors to examine two-stage processes, where all the outputs from the first stage are the only inputs to the second stage. The current article examines and extends these models using game theory concepts. The resulting models are linear, and ...
