A summary of the architecture of the ATLAS SCT optical links is given. The radiation-hard, low mass packaging techniques are described. The performance of VCSELs in these type of packages is discussed. Detailed tests of these links are presented in this and the following paper. 1. LINKS ARCHITECTURE Optical links will be used for the readout of the 4088 modules of the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracke...

Nutrient heterogeneity in soil widely exists nature and can have significant impacts on plant growth, biomass allocation, competitive interactions. However, limited research has been done to investigate the interspecific intensity between two clonal species a heterogeneous habitat. Therefore, this greenhouse experiment was conducted with species, Phragmites australis Scirpus planiculumis , expo...

Manuscript Received 23-October-2012 and revised 16-Janaury-2013 ISSN: 2322-4088 Accepted on daymonth-year Abstract— In this paper, Ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple access relay channel with correlated noises at the relay and receiver is investigated. We obtain outer and inner bounds for the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multiple access relay channel, and also, a diversity gain bound. Finally, we evaluate som...

Although tidal marshes are known for their coastal defense function during storm surges, the impact of extreme wave forcing on marsh development is poorly understood. Seedling survival in first season after germination, which may involve exposure to events, crucial natural establishment and human restoration marshes. We hypothesize that species-specific plant traits plays a significant role see...
