Ultra wideband (UWB) radio has emerged as an attractive candidate for short-range wireless communications in recent years due to its unique features. However, implementation of UWB radios in order to utilize these features is coupled with some pronounced design challenges. To achieve precise timing synchronization is one of the most crucial task among them and is a key factor to ensure a reliab...

BACKGROUND Anti-peanut immunoglobulin E (anti-Pn IgE) can persist throughout life, suggesting that this condition could be maintained by long-lived antibody-secreting cells (ASCs). To determine the role of long-lived ASCs, peanut-allergic mice underwent prolonged treatment with the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib (Bz). METHODS Intravenous Bz was given twice weekly for 21 weeks to peanut-alle...

Wavelet theory has emerged as a new mathematical tool that can be applied in many fields such as image processing, biomedical engineering, radar, physics, control systems and communication systems. The important area of application of wavelets in communication: multiple accesses. Among the multiple access applications one of the most notable work is wavelet packet-based multiple access communic...

An m-sequence (PN sequence) preestimator scheme for direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) signal acquisition by using block sequence estimation (BSE) is proposed and analyzed. The proposed scheme consists of an estimator and a verifier which work according to the PN sequence chip clock, and provides not only the enhanced chip estimates with a threshold decision logic and one-chip error correc...

Projection neurons (PNs) in the locust antennal lobe exhibit odor-specific dynamic responses. We studied a PN population, stimulated with five odorants and pulse durations between 0.3 and 10 s. Odor representations were characterized as time series of vectors of PN activity, constructed from the firing rates of all PNs in successive 50 ms time bins. Odor representations by the PN population can...

In this paper, the impact of pseudorandom noise (PN) sequence code and Hadamard–Walsh sequence code on the performance of a Wideband Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system with Hamming coding or without error correction and detection coding under quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation over an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel and fading channel is inves...

The non-topographical representation of odor quality space differentiates early olfactory representations from those in other sensory systems. Decorrelation among olfactory representations with respect to physical odorant similarities has been proposed to rely upon local feed-forward inhibitory circuits in the glomerular layer that decorrelate odor representations with respect to the intrinsica...
