Fish oil (FO) is the main source of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs), which display relevant analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Peripheral nerve injury is driven by degeneration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal plasticity which results in neuropathic pain (NP) symptoms such as allodynia and hyperalgesia. We tested the preventive effect of an EPA/DHA-concentrat...

A unique feature of the OFDM communication scheme is that, due to the IFFT at the transmitter and the FFT at the receiver, the frequency selective fading channel is converted into flat fading channels. However the OFDM approach can suffer from CFO (Leke and Cioffi 1998). The effects of CFO has been analyzed quite extensively in Beek et al (1997) and Jungwon Lee et al (2006). Carrier Frequency e...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular method for high data rate wireless transmission. The performance of OFDM system is very sensitive to carrier frequency Offset (CFO), which introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI). Multi-input multi-output system used for increasing diversity gain and capacity of the system. Alamouti space time block code is used for MIMO transmi...

Using circularly polarized light microscopy,we described a weighted-scoring method for quantifying regional distributions of six secondary osteon morphotypes(Skedros et al.: Bone 44 (2009) 392-403). This osteon morphotype score (MTS) strongly correlated with "tension" and "compression" cortices produced by habitual bending. In the present study, we hypothesized that the osteon MTS is superior t...

Filter bank multicarrier systems, similarly to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), are very sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) and symbol timing offset (STO). In this paper, a low-complexity preamble-based joint CFO and STO technique is presented. It is based on a relatively long preamble in order to improve the CFO estimation performance as well as avoid interference co...

In this thesis, a number of semi-blind structures are proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless communication systems, with Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) estimation and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) based equalization. In the first contribution, a semi-blind non-redundant single-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) OFDM system is proposed, with ...

In this letter, performance analysis of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) is presented in term bit error rate (BERs). The considers its under two impairments, symbol time offset (STO) and carrier (CFO) frequency-selective fading channel. As multicarrier system, OFDM-IM subject to both inter-symbol interference (ISI) inter-carrier (ICI) a new communicatio...

We investigate the effect of carrier frequency offset (CFO) on the performance of downlink variable spreading factor (VSF) orthogonal frequency and code division multiple access (OFCDM) systems when subcarrier grouping is used. An analytic expression of the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) is derived for the VSF-OFCDM with CFO for the case of maximal ratio combining (MRC) and equal...
