The major setbacks of Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM) is its peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and intercarrier interference (ICI). The occurrence of these factors restricts its application. Here, the clipping and filtering PAPR reduction technique is k i n g investigated to reduce the PAPR and out-of-band radiation simultaneously by implementing correlative &g. This paper focuses on ...

Progress towards the MDGs is expected to slow as a consequence of the global economic downturn. Th is study applies an economy-wide framework to analyze the impact of the crisis on MDG achievement in six Latin American countries. It fi nds signifi cant setbacks towards the goals and, in the case of the region’s low-income countries, the cost of achieving these would rise between 1.6 and 3.4 per...

Comprehensive geotechnical modelling of the behaviour of piles generally encounters setbacks: in preparing model bed simulating field conditions, of specific and uniform shear strength, and reproduction for repetitions. Due to such limitations in traditional practices, information on the complex mechanism of shaft-base resistance interaction is not adequately known. Other outcomes are: varied r...

The course of clinical cytology from the second half of the 19th century was punctuated by advances and setbacks until 1943 when Papanicolaou and Traut published their classical monograph entitled "Diagnosis of uterine cancer by the vaginal smear". Since then, the science of cells, "Cytology", has gained a firm foothold in the field of laboratoty medicine as a diagnostic tool. In the short time...

The experience of work in BioImpacts and direct involvement in whole the process of publication inspired us to tackle here the dimensions which we recognize as problematic areas in publication, namely, scientific setbacks, language and technical issues. Authors besides readers as competent future authors are urged not to neglect the significance of well-writing either through considering the la...

Modeling the magnetosphere from satellite data has some analogy to construction of a person’s ‘identikit’ patchy information, collected by different people at times under lighting/viewing conditions. This article is brief overview author’s half-century-long efforts in building Earth’s models, with feats, setbacks, and lessons learned.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is currently the best-preserved and most influential traditional medical system with the largest number of users worldwide. In recent years, the trend of TCM adoption has increased greatly, but the process of TCM internationalization has suffered from a series of setbacks for both internal and external reasons. Thus, the process of TCM internationalization fac...

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a common cardiovascular condition with a significant individual and societal burden. Although it was previously known as a palliative condition, medical drug therapies that were developed in the last four decades significantly reduced morbidity and mortality of the disease. The cornerstone of HFrEF therapy remains the blockade of the renin...

Addressing a perennial apologetic and pastoral demand, the twelve Minor Prophets undertake to assert and demonstrate the goodness of God in the face of apparent evidence to the contrary. I will argue that the Twelve were intended to be read together and have the purpose of encouraging the post-exilic reader to trust Yahweh’s faithfulness to his salvation promises, even in the face of the many s...
