Multicarrier systems suffer from the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) of their transmit signal. In order to overcome this issue, peak-power reduction schemes have been developed. One of the most popular technique is selected mapping (SLM). Recently, a variant of SLM for single-antenna systems was proposed. This scheme considers temporally consecutive OFDM frames to achieve a further gain ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Synchronous liver metastasis (SLM) remains a significant problem in newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC). The system of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and Met plays an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis and is being developed to be targeted drugs. We aimed to investigate the role of HGF/Met in SLM based on a case-matched study and comparison between primary ...

The structured language model (SLM) of [1] was one of the first to successfully integrate syntactic structure into language models. We extend the SLM framework in two new directions. First, we propose a new syntactic hierarchical interpolation that improves over previous approaches. Second, we develop a general information-theoretic algorithm for pruning the underlying Jelinek-Mercer interpolat...

A fiber Bragg grating- (FBG-) based fiber-ring laser that utilizes the transmitted light of the FBG as self-injection feedback for single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) oscillation is proposed and demonstrated. This laser is simply constructed by means of feeding back the transmitted light of the FBG and is coupled into the main ring cavity through an optical coupler. The self-injection feedback is th...

This article presents the mechanical properties and microstructure of titanium alloy after selective laser melting (SLM). Titanium alloys are ideal material for selective laser melting (SLM), because they are expensive and difficult to machinery using traditional technologies. The application of SLM in the biomedical area has been slow due to the stringent performance criteria and concerns rela...

PURPOSE The main objective of the study was to formulate and characterize testosterone (TS) solid lipid microparticles (SLM) to be applied as a transdermal delivery system. METHODS Testosterone SLMs were formulated using an emulsion melt homogenization method. Various types and concentrations of fatty materials, namely glyceryl monostearate (GM), glyceryl distearate (GD), stearic acid (SA) an...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered as a strong candidate for future wireless communication because it is marked by its higher frequency multiplicity and greater immunity to multipath fading. However, the main drawback of OFDM is its high amplitude fluctuations measured by peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which leads to power inefficiency and requires expensive hi...

Selected mapping (SLM) peak–power reduction [1] is distortionless as it selects the actual transmit signal from a set of alternative signals, which all represent the same information. Usually, the specific signal generation information needs to be transmitted and carefully protected against bit errors. Here, we propose an extension of SLM, which employs scrambling and refrains from transmitting...

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal is a major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Selected mapping (SLM) technique is an efficient PAPR reduction technique for OFDM. In the SLM technique, many data blocks are generated from an OFDM data block using a set of phase sequences, and then the one with the lowest PAPR is chosen and transmitted. In...
