A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless transmission system with continuous phase modulation (CPM) is considered. A novel MIMO CPM receiver with incoherent modulation is presented. The incoherent demodulation of CPM allows an uncomplicated handling of a frequency offset compared to coherent approaches requiring exact knowledge of the carrier frequency. Blind signal separation (BSS) is ...

PURPOSE Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is an experimental approach for probing endogenous analgesia by which one painful stimulus (the conditioning stimulus) may inhibit the perceived pain of a subsequent stimulus (the test stimulus). Animal studies suggest that CPM is mediated by a spino-bulbo-spinal loop using objective measures such as neuronal firing. In humans, pain ratings are often us...

The diagnostic value of the finding of cytophagocytic macrophages (CPM) in the joint fluid of patients with Reiter's disease has been re-examined. CPM were found in 46% of Reiter's disease fluids and in 45% of other inflammatory knee joint fluids. Higher CPM scores, on a 4-point grading, were commoner in Reiter's disease but the difference was not statistically significant. Further, although th...

Cardiopulmonary monitors (CPMs) generate false alarm rates ranging from 85%-99% with few of these alarms actually representing serious clinical events. The overabundance of clinically insignificant alarms in hospitals desensitizes the clinician to true-positive alarms and poses significant safety issues. In this IRB-approved externally funded study, we sought to assess the clinical conditions a...

Local differences in the electrogastrographic (EGG) indices were studied. The indices include the spectral frequency, the instability factor (IF) of the spectral frequency, and the power content in addition to the usual power amplitude of 5 frequency groups as follows: the 1-cpm group (0-2.4), the 3-cpm group (2.5-4.9), the 6-cpm group (5.0-7.4), the 8-cpm group (7.5-9.9), and the 10-cpm group ...

the precision and accuracy of national research council (nrc 2001) vs. cornell pennsylvania miner (cpm) softwares were evaluated. sixteen lactating dairy cows (8 in second lactation and 8 in third, with days in milk of 55 ± 31, body live weight = 641 ± 53 kg, milk yield =31.2 ± 2.5 kg/day), were assigned to individual pens in a randomized complete block design, with two blocks of two ration tre...

G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is affected by formation of GPCR homo- or heterodimers, but GPCR regulation by other cell surface proteins is not well understood. We reported that the kinin B1 receptor (B1R) heterodimerizes with membrane carboxypeptidase M (CPM), facilitating receptor signaling via CPM-mediated conversion of bradykinin or kallidin to des-Arg kinin B1R agonists. Here...

Managing corporate performance is an important yet challenging process. Recently, many enterprises have adopted business intelligence (BI) tools to facilitate more effective corporate performance management. Based on a survey with 290 organizations across North America and East Asia, this paper presents empirical evidence on the key benefits of and barriers to BI-based corporate performance man...

The support of PLM throughout the product life, from the product’s conceptualization to its disposal, requires reliable, complete and efficient data models. The Core Product Model (CPM), initially developed at NIST for a number of in-house research projects, has been extended so as to support the full range of PLM information. CPM gives equal status to three aspects of a product or artifact: it...
