A method allowing a desirable matrix spectrum to be constructed as an alternative to the method using matrix transformation to the Frobenius form is stated. It can be applied to implement control algorithms for technical systems without executing the variables transformation procedures that are needed for deriving a Frobenius matrix. The method can be used for simulation of systems with differe...

Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBL) are enzymes produced in some gram negative bacilli that mediate resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins. 683 clinical isolates of Escherisia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were studied for their capacity to produce ESBL. Isolates showing resistance to at least two of the third generation cephalosporins were studied for ESBL production by Jarlier t...

It has been shown that the capacity of a multiple-input multiple-output system increases linearly with the number of antennas, provided that the environment is rich scattering. However, this increase in the capacity is substantially degraded if the multiple input multiple output channels are correlated. In this paper, the capacity of correlated multiple input multiple output fading channel is i...

We propose a universal channel coding when each output distribution forms an exponential family even in a continuous output system. We propose two types of universal codes; One has the exponentially decreasing error with explicit a lower bound for the error exponent. The other attains the ǫ-capacity up to the second order. Our encoder is the same as the previous paper [CMP 289, 1087]. For our d...

It can be learned that the equivalent viscous damping ratio is a crucial parameter in the application of the displacement based (DBD) method. Analytical studies presented here and elsewhere indicate that the equivalent viscous damping ratio is highly dependent on the axial load level. Furthermore, the same can apply for the loading type; namely, seismic and blast loads. Based on research findin...

This paper investigates from the physical layer security (PLS) perspective the fundamental issues of mode selection and spectrum partition in cellular networks with inband device-to-device (D2D) communication. We consider a mode selection scheme allowing each D2D pair to probabilistically switch between the underlay and overlay modes, and also a spectrum partition scheme where the system spectr...
