An eecient method for evaluating the error probability of optical ASK/DD systems subject to interferometric noise is presented. The receiver decision variable is statistically described by its moment generating function (mgf). The theoretical results, obtained with the aid of the new derived mgf, are in good agreement with experiment, employing directly modulated light sources, while the common...

Fast (τ∼1.7 ns) broadband (full width at half-maximum = 1.1 eV) vacuum ultraviolet (VUV; hν = 8.4 eV) luminescence from MgF(2) crystals has been detected at low temperature (T<80 K) and analyzed with techniques of cathodoluminescence and time-resolved VUV spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The VUV emission discovered has been attributed to the luminescence of spin-singlet self-trapped ex...

Abstract In this research, we created and tested the validity of a Marginalized-Group-Focused Diversity Climate Scale (MGF-DCS) following Hinkin’s (1998) best practices. Previously, no measure diversity climate has been validated. Furthermore, addressing challenges concerning basis perceptions, reviewed disparate definitions scales to identify its core components sources, focusing on treatment ...

Abstract This paper investigates a simple step-stress accelerated lifetime test (SSALT) model for the inferential analysis of exponential competing risks data. A generalized type-I hybrid censoring scheme is employed to improve efficiency and controllability test. Firstly, MLEs parameters are established based on cumulative exposure (CEM). Then conditional moment generating function (MGF) unkno...

In the present study, we analyzed the capacity of CD34+/CD36- sorted bone marrow cells of myelodysplasia patients (n = 4) to differentiate along the erythroid lineage in the presence of erythropoietin (Epo) and mast cell growth factor (MGF). Two subgroups could be identified. In 6 patients, a normal number of burst-forming units-erythroid (BFU-Es) were cultured from CD34+/CD36- sorted cells. Ce...

In this paper we study a particular Painlevé V (denoted PV ) that arises from Multi-InputMulti-Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Such a PV appears through its intimate relation with the Hankel determinant that describes the moment generating function (MGF) of the Shannon capacity. This originates through the multiplication of the Laguerre weight or the Gamma density xαe−x, x > 0, fo...

We applied K-means cluster analysis to test the hypothesis that muscle-specific factors known to modulate protein synthesis and satellite cell activity would be differentially expressed during progressive resistance training (PRT, 16 wk) in 66 human subjects experiencing extreme, modest, and failed myofiber hypertrophy. Muscle mRNA expression of IGF-I isoform Ea (IGF-IEa), mechanogrowth factor ...

The authors of the present paper sought to conduct a numerical study on convection heat transfer, along with radiation and entropy generation (EGE) nanofluids (NFs) in two three-dimensional square enclosure, by using FVM. enclosure contained high-temperature blade form vertical elliptical quadrant lower corner enclosure. right edge was kept at low temperature, while other edges were insulated. ...
