---------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------------------------Several types of Rake Receivers like A-Rake, S-Rake, P-Rake, Adaptive frequency Rake, Time frequency Rake, Conventional MMSE Rake and Adaptive MMSE rake are used for WCDMA. In this paper we observed that the BER performance of the Adoptive MMSE Rake receiver gi...

Background and purpose: Cognitive impairment (CI) is one of the causes of disabilities in multiple sclerosis patients (MS). Therefore, early detection and evaluation of cognitive performance is very important in patients with MS. The aim of the present study is to compare Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test and Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) in Relapsing Remitting (RR) MS patients. Method...

We derive two types of approximate maximum likelihood (ML) detection based on minimum mean squared error (MMSE), MMSE-CML (conditional ML) detection and MMSECLML (conditional local ML) detection, for MIMO communication system. A simple reliability judge rule to judge the estimate of the transmit symbols is also given. For the proposed MMSECML detection, received signals are first sent into MMSE...

The goal of the research reported in this thesis is to contribute to early and accurate detection of dementia. Early detection of dementia is essential to maximising the effectiveness of treatment against memory loss. This goal is pursued by interpreting the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in novel ways. The MMSE is the most widely used screening tool for dementia, it is a questionnaire of...

BACKGROUND Frontal-type cognitive deficits are common in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) was developed to assess frontal lobe functions. However, many studies found that it also correlated with a variety of other general neuropsychological tests. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the FAB has an added value over the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) a...

BACKGROUND Progressive cognitive decline develops in a nontrivial minority of stroke survivors. Although commonly used to identify cognitive decline in older stroke survivors, the usefulness of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) as a screening tool for post-stroke cognitive decline across a wider range of ages is not well established. This study therefore investigated the usefulness of th...

BACKGROUND Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is one of the most commonly used methods in the assessment of cognitive mental status. MMSE has been used in hepatology but its usefulness in the evaluation of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) has never been properly assessed. The aim of the study was to investigate the value of MMSE in detection of HE in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS One hundred ...
