OBJECTIVE We aimed to estimate the Lanzhou lamb rotavirus (LLR) vaccination coverage (VC) and timeliness among children aged 2 to 59 months in Guangzhou, China. METHODS An electronic system-based VC survey was conducted using stratified cluster random sampling. RESULTS We reported an overall Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccine coverage of 25.3% among children aged 2-59 months (2-8 months, 2.6%) ...

Error correction codes of suitable redundancy are used for ensuring perfect data recovery in noisy channels. For iterative decoding based methods, the decoder needs to be initialized with proper confidence values, called the log likelihood ratios (LLRs), for all the embedding locations. If these confidence values or LLRs are accurately initialized, the decoder converges at a lower redundancy fa...

The second generation of terrestrial digital video broadcasting standard (DVB-T2) offers several advantages for greater efficiency. Signal Space Diversity (SSD) contains rotated constellation and Q-Delay (RQD), which is one of advantage that offered to improve the performance over fading channels compared to the non-rotated modulation. In this journal, the proposed low-power de-mapper design of...

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is becoming widely accepted for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy and minor laparoscopic liver resection are now considered standard approaches, especially for tumors located in the anterolateral segments of the liver. Laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy in adult donors is also gaining acceptance for c...

The log-likelihood ratio test on a single check node within the LDPC decoder is monitored to develop a stopping criterion for the decoder that is better than previous stopping criteria, without sacrificing the BER performance. Simulation results are presented for the transmission of the rate 1 2 (288, 576) WiMAX 802.16e LDPC code digits using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) over an AWGN channel.

We address the problem of time-base synchronization for MPEG services in the presence of network jitter. The conventional methods to obtain a stable clock indication are based on Phase Locked Loops (PLLs). They have the disadvantage of a long startup phase and thus are unsuitable for services that require simultaneous accuracy and rapidity. We develop a new time-base synchronization technique b...

The optimum receive antenna selection combining rule that minimizes the bit error probability is presented. It is derived from a general relationship between the bit error probability and the log-likelihood ratio (LLR), and selects the receive antenna providing the largest LLR magnitude. The optimum selection combining rule is applied to single transmit (Tx) antenna and space-time block code (S...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the single-surgeon learning curve (SSLC) in laparoscopic liver surgery over an 11-year period with risk-adjusted (RA) cumulative sum control chart analysis.Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a challenging and highly demanding procedure. No specific data are available for defining the feasibility and reproducibility of the SSLC regarding a consistent and c...

Non rigid image registration assumes a paramount part over medical imaging framework. In the complicated conditions, it is quiet a testing errand. Sometimes the dataset is perverted by spatially varying intensity contortion. To resolve this, issue many techniques based on LLR have been designed. In this paper, the core idea behind the proposed technique is to reduce the reconstruction time by c...

Local recurrence is common after radical surgery. However, the factors that contribute to survival after local recurrence remain unclear. In this retrospective study we analyzed the relationship between time to recurrence and survival after recurrence in 74 patients with locally recurrent gastric cancer. All patients received palliative radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. The patients we...
