This paper presents a low probability of interception (LPI) radar waveform design method with a fixed average power constraint based on information theory. The Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) between the intercept signal and background noise is presented as a practical metric to evaluate the performance of the adversary intercept receiver in this paper. Through combining it with the radar per...

In this paper, we introduce a novel packet discarding policy called Longest-Packet-In (LPI) which maximizes the cell goodput, the ratio of outgoing good cells to the total number of cells that arrive at a queue. We compare LPI to: Tail Drop, Early Packet Discard, Early Packet Discard with Hysteresis and Fair Early Packet Discard with Hysteresis by investigating the trade-off between maximizing ...

In Radars, an electromagnetic waveform will be sent, and an echo of the same signal will be received by the receiver. From this received signal, by extracting various parameters such as round trip delay, doppler frequency it is possible to find distance, speed, altitude, etc. However, nowadays as the technology increases, intruders are intercepting transmitted signal as it reaches them, and the...

The high-density lipoproteins LPI and LPII were isolated from the hemolymph of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus by gradient ultracentrifugation and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Both lipoproteins contained a carotenoid moiety. LPI is comprised of a single polypeptide with an approximate molecular mass of 96 kDa. LPII was composed of two similar native components, LPIIa and L...

Axillary lymph node involvement is an important prognostic factor for breast cancer survival but is confounded by the number of nodes examined. We compare the performance of the log odds prognostic index (Lpi), using a ratio of the positive versus negative lymph nodes, with the Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) for short-term breast cancer specific disease free survival. A total of 1818 operabl...

PURPOSE To investigate the power use and complication frequency of resident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 196 eyes from 103 patients who underwent neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser iridotomy performed by resident physicians from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2015 at a university-based county hospital was done. All patients were trea...

The Surveyor General of New South Wales is a verifying authority under the National Measurement Act 1960 and responsible for ensuring that surveyors use verified measuring equipment. According to the Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2012, surveyors are required to verify their Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) equipment in relation to an Australian standard of measurement of len...

Rathus, Wagner, and Miller recently reported on the development and psychometric evaluation of the Life problems Inventory (LPI), a self report tool to measure Linehan’s conceptualition of borderline personality disorder (BPD) as a disorder primarily of the emotion regulation system, and in particular, problems with regulation of emotions, impulses, relationships, and self. Thus, the LPI maps o...

INTRODUCTION All living organisms have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to maintain appropriate iron levels in their cells and within their body. Recently our understanding of iron metabolism has dramatically increased. Overt labile plasma iron (LPI) represents a component of non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI) that is both redox active and chelatable, capable of permeating into organs and induci...
