This paper investigates tlze potential capacity iniprovements inade possible through tlze use of dynamic cell sizing in a cellular network. The purpose of dynamic cell sizing is to reduce cell radii und tlzus enable in-cell users to increase their transmit powers. The use of higher transmit powers suppresses intercell interference and leads to an overall increase in capacity. This paper discuss...

Background: A variable resolution X-ray (VRX) CT scanner provides a great increase in the spatial resolution. In VRX CT scanners, the spatial resolution of the system and its field of view (FOV) can be changed according to the object size. One of the main factors that limit the spatial resolution of VRX CT scanner is the effect of the X-ray focal spot. Materials and Methods: A theoreti...

to determine the droplet characteristics of agricultural spray nozzles through water sensitive paper (wsp), the non-circular and overlapped spots appearing on the water sensitive paper surfaces are eliminated. in the conventional approach, the procedure is done according to the subjective self determined estimation of the operator. the objective of this study was to develop a practical alternat...

because of the huge amounts of proteomic data and demand for new methods of laboratory analysis results, proteins collective analysis, in addition to taking less time, biostatistician assist at identification of new patterns in the data set. in this study, rat hippocampus proteome in normal and alzheimer's disease (ad) were analyzed by using proteomic techniques and bioinformatics’ analysis. pr...

We study the problem of incentivizing reliable demand-response in modern electricity grids. Each agent is uncertain about her future ability to reduce demand and unreliable. Agents who choose to participate in a demand-response scheme may be paid when they respond and penalized otherwise. The goal is to reliably achieve a demand reduction target while selecting a minimal set of agents from thos...

“Cleavage-voting” – the extent to which voters’ membership in stable social groups leads them to choose parties that are politically aligned with those groups – seems to have experienced a significant decline in Western democracies, which has been generically linked to several consequences of social modernization. However, this emphasis on the search for general trends has left a blind-spot in ...

In this paper, a multiresolution source/filter model for coding of audio source signals (spot recordings) is proposed. Spot recordings are a subset of the multimicrophone recordings of a music performance, before the mixing process is applied for producing the final multichannel audio mix. The technique enables low bitrate coding of spot signals with good audio quality (above 3.0 perceptual gra...
