Cesiumiodide with Na doping (CsI(Na)) solution or melt is easily forming threedimension dendrites on the free surface. The defects or bobbles form inside the CsI(Na) during the solution or melt solidification. The defects or bobbles can further effect the x-ray path in the CsI(Na) crystal and decrease the scintillation characteristics of CsI(Na). In order to enhance the CsI(Na) scintillated pro...

Construction of precise confidence sets of disease gene locations after initial identification of linked regions can improve the efficiency of the ensuing fine mapping effort. We took the confidence set inference, a framework proposed and implemented using the Mean test statistic (CSI-Mean) and improved the efficiency substantially by using a likelihood ratio test statistic (CSI-MLS). The CSI f...

PURPOSE High-spatial-resolution x-ray imaging in the few-ten-keV range is becoming increasingly important in several applications, such as small-animal imaging and phase-contrast imaging. The detector properties critically influence the quality of such imaging. Here the authors present a quantitative comparison of scintillator-based detectors for this energy range and at high spatial frequencie...

In this project, a multiuser diversity scheme for MIMO-OFDM systems has been proposed to improve system performance. In the space-time MIMO-OFDM system with multiuser, it needs a scheduler at the base station to do the spatial multiplexing. The scheduler distributes sub-channels to different users based on the feedback channel state information (CSI). The goal is that each user determines a lim...

In this work, we consider the sum rate performance of joint processing coordinated multi-point transmission network (JP-CoMP, a.k.a Network MIMO) in a so-called distributed channel state information (D-CSI) setting. In the D-CSI setting, the various transmitters (TXs) acquire a local, TX-dependent, estimate of the global multi-user channel state matrix obtained via terminal feedback and limited...

The implementation of Tomlinson-Harashima (TH) pre-coding for multiuser MIMO systems based on quantized channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side. Compared with the results in [1], our scheme applies to more general system setting where the number of users in the system can be less than or equal to the number of transmit antennas. We also study the achievable average sum rate of t...

Children receiving radiotherapy face the probability of a subsequent malignant neoplasm (SMN). In some cases, the predicted SMN risk can be reduced by proton therapy. The purpose of this study was to apply the most comprehensive dose assessment methods to estimate the reduction in SMN risk after proton therapy vs. photon therapy for a 13-year-old girl requiring craniospinal irradiation (CSI). W...

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) has been remained in much importance in recent past because of high capacity gain over a single antenna system. In this article, analysis over the capacity of the MIMO channel systems with spatial channel has been considered when the channel state information (CSI) is considered imperfect or partial. The dynamic CSI model has also been tried consisting of c...

An overview of overcurrent and overvoltage CSI faults is presented and strategies, how to protect a CSI equipped with IGBT power switches against these failures are developed and explained. The shown strategies and the related circuits are applicable at low expense and require only minor changes in the CSI and its control.

The capacity of a time-varying block-memoryless channel in which the transmitter and the receiver have access to (possibly different) noisy causal channel side information (CSI) is obtained. It is shown that the capacity formula obtained in this correspondence reduces to the capacity formula reported in [1] for the special case where the transmitter CSI is a deterministic function of the receiv...
