Abstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM) was proposed to overcome the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) of conventional OFDM. Clipping and filtering can be used to further reduce the PAPR. OFDM/TDM with minimum mean square error (MMSE) frequency-domain equalization (FDE) requires accurate channel estimation (CE). In this pape...

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an ultrasensitive analytical technique with molecular specificity, making it an ideal candidate for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). However, in critical diagnostic media including blood, nonspecific protein adsorption coupled with weak surface affinities and small Raman activities of many analytes hinder the TDM application of SERS. Here we repor...

The study "Alexander" on bacterial resistance to antibiotics conducted in Poland revealed high sensitivity of bacterial strains to simple and cheap antibiotics. In Poland pharmacoeconomic studies on the safety, effectiveness and costs of treatment are rare. Development of therapeutic standards in bacterial infections on the basis of pharmacoeconomic analyses and clinical studies determining eff...

In Network-on-Chip (NoC), Time-Division-Mutiplexing(TDM) Virtual Circuit (VC) is well recognized as being capable to provide guaranteed services in both latency and bandwidth. We propose a method of modeling TDM based VC by using Network Calculus. We derive a tight upper bound of end-to-end delay and buffer requirement for indivdual VC. The performance analysis using Latency-Rate server is also...

For building an optical access network, we propose some new hybrid WDM/TDM passive optical network (PON) architectures that use wavelength selective switches (WSSs) at the remote node to improve flexibility, data security and power budget. Through simulations we demonstrate that the switching capabilities of a WSS can provide additional gains in terms of wavelength usage by a better statistical...

To fully exploit the performance of optics in parallel processor interconnection networks, the connections must be entirely optical. This requires the use of circuit switching. Techniques such a s time division multiplexing TDM can be used to provide a large number of circuits without the need for program directed control operations. We describe two protocols for dynamically establishing circui...

In this paper, we investigate the compiler algorithms to support compiled communication in multiprocessor environments and study the benefits of compiled communication assuming that the underlying network is an all–optical Time–Division– Multiplexing (TDM) network. We present an experimental compiler, E–SUIF, that supports compiled communication for High Performance Fortran (HPF) like programs ...

There are three multiplexing schemes for Multi-Input MultiOutput (MIMO) channel sounder Time-division multiplexing (TDM), Code-division multiplexing (CDM) and Frequencydivision multiplexing (FDM). The purpose of this paper is comparison overview of multiplexing schemes for MIMO channel sounder. In this paper TDM, FDM and CDM techniques for MIMO channel sounding are considered. TDM, FDM and CDM ...

Vancomycin is a widely used glycopeptide antibiotic that requires therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) owing to its narrow therapeutic window. It is primarily eliminated by renal excretion; thus, estimating the renal function of a patient is vital in the TDM of vancomycin. In patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), it is difficult to estimate the glomerular filtration rate using the serum...
