Self-Organising Network (SON) functions have been introduced in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced standards by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as an excellent solution that promises enormous improvements in the network performance. However, the most challenging issue in implementing SON functions in reality is the identification of the best possible interactions amo...

The effects on spontaneous ovulation associated with the unilateral or bilateral sectioning of the superior ovarian nerves (SON) were analyzed in guinea pigs at different time intervals of the estrous cycle. Day 1 of the estrous cycle was defined as the day when the animal presents complete loss of the vaginal membrane (open vagina). Subsequent phases of the cycle were determined by counting th...

marcel proust est un des écrivains le plus fameux de la première moitié du xxe siècle. son ouvrage, a la recherche du temps perdu, en sept volumes, est à la fois le livre de sa propre vie et de la société de son époque. les personnages féminins sont au centre de son œuvre. la duchesse de guermantes est une de ces figures féminines qui occupe une place centrale dans la recherche du temps perdu. ...

The avian nucleus laminaris (NL) is involved in computation of interaural time differences (ITDs) that encode the azimuthal position of a sound source. Neurons in NL are bipolar, with dorsal and ventral dendritic arbors receiving input from separate ears. NL neurons act as coincidence detectors that respond maximally when input from each ear arrives at the two dendritic arbors simultaneously. C...

A Self-Organizing Network (SON) performs automated network management through the coordinated execution of autonomous functions, each aiming to achieve a specific objective like the optimization of a network Key Performance Indicator (KPI) value. However, there are situations in which a SON function cannot achieve its objective which can lead to disturbed SON operation and inferior performance....

in this article a very brief history of violence against women in domestic settings is developed. on the whole, 18 focus group discussion (fgd) (including 4 pilot fgds), were conducted in southern part of teheran capital of iran among different groups of people (literate, illiterate, married, unmarried, male, female). further, 30 individual interviews conducted with violence and family affaire ...

Thin nanofibers (NFs) of J-dominant aggregates with a thickness of 15 nm and thick NFs of H-dominant aggregates with a thickness of 25 nm were fabricated by the self-assembly of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-coated gold nanoparticles. The formation and decay dynamics of the charge carriers, which are dependent on the aggregate types of NFs, was investigated by time-resolved emission and transient-abso...

Automatic discrimination of speech and music is an important tool in many multimedia applications. Previous work has focused on using long-term features such as differential parameters, variances, and time-averages of spectral parameters. These classifiers use features estimated over windows of 0.5–5 seconds, and are relatively complex. In this paper, we present our results of combining the lin...

This paper presents a novel algorithm which generates three-dimensional face point trajectories for a given speech le with or without its text. The proposed algorithm rst employs an o -line training phase. In this phase, recorded face point trajectories along with their speech data and phonetic labels are used to generate phonetic codebooks. These codebooks consist of both acoustic and visual f...

OBJECTIVES A clear knowledge of the location of the maxillo-facial foramina is essential for clinicians while performing endoscopic surgeries and regional nerve blocks. In the present study, a detailed analysis of the supraorbital foramen (SOF) and supraorbital notch (SON) of South Indian skulls is reported and the data are compared with those from other races and regions. METHODS Anatomical ...
