In this paper, we show that differential detection of DS-CDMA signals transmitted over a severe frequency-selective fading channel is possible. Joint frequency-domain differential detection and equalization (FDDDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is proposed. A simple decision feedback filter is used to provide a reliable reference signal for MMSE-FDDDE. It is confirmed ...

The Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is a widely used cognitive screening measure. The purpose of the present study was to assess how 5 specific clusters of MMSE items (i.e., subscores) correlate with and predict specific areas of daily functioning in patients with dementia. Sixty-one patients with varied forms of dementia were administered the MMSE and an observation-based daily functional test (...

The objective of this study is to validate two abridged versions of the mini-mental state examination (MMSE): one intended for use in face-to-face interviews, and the other developed for telephonic interviews, using data from Sweden and the US to validate the abridged scales against dementia diagnoses as well as to compare their performance to that of the full MMSE scale. The abridged versions ...

The clinical utility of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and its shorter version (SMMSE) is still debated. There is a need to better understand the neuroanatomical correlates of these cognitive tests. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether lower MMSE and SMMSE scores correlated with focal brain volume reduction in older adults. Participants from the GAIT st...

The objective of this study was to assess the convergent validity of a 26-point Telephone Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in a longitudinal cohort of 46 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Paired in-person and telephone MMSE observations were collected within 35 days of each other. The setting was the Stanford/VA Alzheimer's Center in Palo Alto, California, and patients' residences. The 30-...

The paper revisits adaptive beamforming assisted receiver for multiple antenna aided multiuser systems that employ binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation. The standard minimum mean square error (MMSE) design is based on the criterion of minimising the mean square error (MSE) between the beamformer’s desired output and complex-valued beamformer’s output. Since the desired output for BPSK sy...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the validity and reliability of modified Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE-E) for illiterate patients in a Turkish population with Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHOD A total of 107 illiterate patients with Alzheimer's Disease (women: 65, men: 42) and 68 illiterate healthy volunteer subjects (women: 36, men: 32) were included in the study. MMSE-I and Geriatrics Depress...

CDMA system perjbrmance can be enhanced by interference management techniques. We consider the uplink o j a CDMA system that employs two such techniques: temporal multiuser detection and spatial antenna array heamjhrming. Recently, temporal-spatial MMSE vpe receivers with several diflerent criteria have been proposedjor a static channel. In this work, we consider such MMSEjlter.7 assuming a mul...
