Lattice-reduction-aided (LRA) preequalization for the multiple-input/ multiple-output broadcast channel has most often been considered for the uncoded case so far. However, recent advantages in the closely related field of integer-forcing equalization, where the cancellation of the multiuser interference and the channel coding are combined, create doubt to this separated point of view. In this ...

We present an improved direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter Ab in the Z boson–b quark coupling using a self-calibrating track-charge technique applied to a sample enriched in Z → bb̄ events via the topological reconstruction of the B hadron mass. Manipulation of the SLC electron-beam polarization permits the measurement of Ab to be made independently of other Z-pole coupling para...

We present a concise review of the status of the Standard Model and of the search for new physics. The results of the electroweak precision tests as well as of the searches for the Higgs boson and for new particles performed at LEP and SLC are now available in nearly final form. Taken together with the measurements of m t , m W and the searches for new physics at the Tevatron, and with some oth...

An adaptive transmission scheme, in which the work in [3] is extended to multiuser environment, is proposed for LDPC-coded MIMO-OFDMA cellular systems that employ FDD by considering active user selection and sub-channel power allocation. The performance of the proposed scheme is obtained from simulation and compared with that of the conventional scheme using mean SNR only. It is shown that the ...

the main objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters for multi-trait evaluation of birth weight (bw), gestation length (gl) and calving difficulty (cd) in first-parity iranian holstein dairy cattle. the data included 29,950 calving records collected during 1995 to 2014 by the animal breeding and improvement center of iran. a threshold-linear sire-maternal grandsire model was ...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a prominent paradigm that is considered to continue its dominance in thecomputation at deep sub-micron regime in nanotechnology. The QCA realizations of five-input Majority Voter based multilevel parity generator circuits have been introduced in recent years. However, no attention has been paid towards the QCA instantiation of the generic (n-bit) even and ...

the present study aimed to estimate the effects of parity, calving season and year of calving on the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in holstein cows. a total of 2682 records from 869 holstein cows in a large dairy farm (azarbaijan province, iran), respecting the period from 2006 to 2009, were collected. data was analyzed using proc mixed of sas software by mivque method. subclinical mastiti...

We design multilevel coding (MLC) with a semi-bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) scheme based on low density parity check (LDPC) codes. Different from the traditional designs, we joined the MLC and BICM together by using the Gray mapping, which is suitable to transmit the data over several equivalent channels with different code rates. To perform well at signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to be v...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether state-level parity legislation has led to an increase in utilization of mental health services. DATA SOURCES Healthcare For Communities (HCC), a multi-site nationally representative study sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that tracks health care system changes for mental health and substance abuse treatment. Information on state-level parity legisl...
