There is little question that current role-playing MUD systems provide entertainment for their users. Nevertheless, experience with these systems, however entertaining, often falls short of the compelling, rich and varied experiences we associate with dramatic art. This limitation is in part due to the nature of control in MUDs. Control within a MUD is, by de nition, distributed; unlike convent...

An investigation was conducted to estimate approximate production and assess the marketing of mud crab in the south-western region of Bangladesh. Crab culture was done by hardening and fattening collected from the natural source. Most of the fattening farms were 0.2 to 2 acres. Fattening and hardening period varied from 10 to 30 days. The Sundarban mangrove, tidal rivers, estuaries, canals, shr...

Based on the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) between the data stream and the linear combiner output, a new multiuser detection (MUD) algorithm that combines space–time (ST) processing and antenna array on directsequence CDMA signals is proposed. The proposed ST-MUD algorithm is proved to be equivalent to two existing MMSE-based ST-MUD algorithms, and the theoretical BER performances for all t...

This paper analyzes performance of optimal channel estimation and multiuser detection (MUD) in a block-fading code-division multiple-access (CDMA) channel on the assumptions of random spreading and large-system limit, by using the replica method developed in statistical mechanics. The authors find that the asymptotic spectral efficiency of the linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) MUD which...

Jajarm Alumina Plant, the only Alumina powder producer in Iran, generates 500,000 tons of red mud annually. The commonest method for final disposal of red mud in Iran is Tailing dam which is neither cost-effective nor environmentally-friendly. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of red mud recovery to be used for stabilization of loose soils. Red mud samples have bee...

the narrow operating window between pore pressure and fracture pressure makes drilling difficult in some operations. a feasibility study of managed pressure drilling (mpd) is carried out on iran darquain oil field. the previous wells drilled in this field showed that mud returns were lost during drilling gadvan formation. the present work addresses this problem by means of surface back pressure...

The present paper offers a numerical model which can be applied for the simulation of wave height distribution on a 2-D horizontal soft mud layer. The model is based on mild slope equations and it includes combined wave refraction, diffraction, reflection and breaking. The high energy dissipation of wave height due to the presence of fluid mud layer has also been simulated. Wave height attenuat...

BACKGROUND Heat therapy is one of the most popular non-pharmacological treatments for osteoarthritis of the hand. OBJECTIVES To investigate the therapeutic and chemical effects of Hévíz mud on patients with hand osteoarthritis. METHODS We randomly assigned 47 patients with mild-to-moderate hand osteoarthritis to two groups. Patients in group 1 (n=23) received Hévíz mud applied directly to b...

The problem of constructing an adaptive multiuser detector (MUD) is considered for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) signals transmitted through multipath channels. The emerging learning technique, called support vector machines (SVM), is proposed as a method of obtaining a nonlinear MUD from a relatively small training data block. Computer simulation is used to study this...
