Iterative detection and decoding (IDD), combined with spatial-multiplexing multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) transmission, is a key technique to improve spectral efficiency in wireless communications. In this paper we present the—to the best of our knowledge—first complete silicon implementation of a MIMO IDD receiver. MIMO detection is performed by a multi-core sphere decoder supporting up ...

IDD-MC is a symbolic analysis tool for bounded Stochastic Petri nets. The restriction regarding the boundedness can be circumvented by a simulative approach. Besides that, the simulation is going to be capable of handling extended Stochastic Petri nets. In this paper we report on the integration of a multi-scaling stochastic simulation engine into IDD-MC. We present some experimental results wh...

An intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD) is a rare congenital anomaly that is the result of incomplete recanalization of the embryologic foregut leaving a fenestrated membrane within the lumen of the duodenum. Years of peristalsis acting on the membrane result in the formation of a diverticulum. Most patients are asymptomatic, while some may have abdominal pain, bloating, or fullness. Rare c...

Endemic goiter and iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) are prevalent in Iran and IDD control program has been implemented since 1989. To monitor IDD control program, this survey was performed in 1996. 26178 schoolchildren, aged 8 to 10 years were selected by probability proportionate to size randomly in 26 provinces of Iran, for goiter staging. In 2836 pupils blood and urine samples were obtaine...

Introduction Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD) is diagnosed with cognitive and adaptive behaviour evaluations. There increasing evidence of a high prevalence psychiatric disorders comorbid IDD. The relationship between specific dysfunctions vulnerability may provide the basis for paradigm shift from “intellectually below average IQ” to “neuropsychological characterization”. Objectives 1...

STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective study. PURPOSE We wanted to investigate the clinical relevance of the lumbar high intensity zone (HIZ) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the relationship of trauma history to internal disc disruption (IDD). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE HIZs on lumbar spine (L-spine) MRI have been suggested as a reliable marker of IDD by some authors. The prevalence and t...

OBJECTIVE We examine the rates of major depressive disorder, single episode determined by the Inventory to Diagnose Depression (IDD) in a clinical sample of persons with recent-onset spinal cord injury (SCI; ≤52 weeks) participating in an inpatient SCI rehabilitation program. We also analyzed the factor structure of the IDD measure in an attempt to replicate the factor structure reported by Fra...

A 20-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for recurrent postprandial epigastric pain and vomiting. Physical examination revealed no abdominal mass, and laboratory datawere within normal limits except for slight elevation of serum amylase (301U/l). Esophagogastroduodenoscopy identified double duodenal lumens at the inferior duodenal flexure (●" Fig.1a). One lumen was discovered to lead in...
