The effect of UWB interference on the DCS-1800 and GSM-900 downlink is studied for different UWB power density. For high UWB power density (-70 dBm/MHz), the effect of UWB signals is very high when the distance between UWB transmitter and DCS-1800 receiver is less than 1 m. For low UWB power density (-100 dBm/MHz), the effect of the UWB signals is quasi null even if the distance between the UWB...

Mathematically, the typical difference of Discrete Boltzmann Model (DBM) from the traditional hydrodynamic one is that the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations are replaced by a discrete Boltzmann equation. But physically, this replacement has a significant gain: a DBM is roughly equivalent to a hydrodynamic model supplemented by a coarse-grained model of the Thermodynamic Non-Equilibrium (TNE) effects...

This paper studies the performance of sparsematrix-based data structures to represent clock zones (convex sets of clock values) in an on-the-fly predicate equation system model checker for timed automata. We analyze the impact of replacing the dense difference bound matrix (DBM) with both the linked-list CRDZone and array-list CRDArray data structure. From analysis on the pairedexample-by-examp...

  　 Objective(s): Ex vivo expansion of hematopoitic stem cells is an alternative way to increase umbilical cord blood (UCB)-CD34+ cells for bone marrow transplantation. For this purpose demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and mineralized bone allograft (MBA) as two scaffolds based on bone matrix and stem cell niche, were simultaneously used to enhance the effect of human mesenchymal pro...

A 65-nm CMOS receiver tailored for breast cancer diagnostic imaging is demonstrated for the first time. The receiver shows 31-dB conversion gain, NF dB, 28 dBm, IIP dBm and IIP dBm over a band from 1.75 to 15 GHz. A programmable injection-locked divider generates quadrature LO signals with a I/Q phase error over three octaves without requiring any calibration or tuning. The receiver shows a fli...

Relational numeric abstract domains are very important in program analysis. Common domains, such as Zones and Octagons, are usually conceptualised with weighted digraphs and implemented using difference-bound matrices (DBMs). Unfortunately, though conceptually simple, direct implementations of graph-based domains tend to perform poorly in practice, and are impractical for analyzing large code-b...

In this paper, different representations of WiFi access point signal information are tested on a hierarchical indoors localization system to identify the one that yields the least amount of localization error. Four representations were considered: Received Signal Strength (RSS) in dBm, RSS in mW , Visibility and both RSS in dBm and Visibility. The localization system was tested in two different...
