The goal of this thesis is to understand how to achieve capacity for wireless fading channels with emphasis on the role of the burstiness in both time and frequency of the transmitted signals. Typical signal design constraints for a communication system are concerned primarily with regulating the transmitted power. This allows for signals of di ering burstiness, viz., ones that uniformly spread...

Scientific creation battles the worldview of naturalism at the level of scientific fact and theory, but crucial battlegrounds are also found in the foundational concepts that shape the method and direction of science. One of these is summarized by the term “naturalism.” This debate is hindered by equivocal terminology, presuppositional inconsistency, and the use of secular premises by some Chri...
