This work present a joint source-channel technique based on Channel Optimized Vector Quantization (COVQ) for transmission over bursty channels applied to LSP parameters coding. The bursty channel is modeled as a Finite State Channel (FSC) with two states. We call Bursty COVQ (BCOVQ) to the resulting quantization technique. The case in which channel state information is only available at the rec...

For hypotheses of the type H0 : θ = θ0 vs H1 : θ 6= θ0 we demonstrate the equivalence of a Bayesian hypothesis test using a Bayes factor and the corresponding classical test, for a large class of models, which are detailed in the paper. In particular, we show that the role of the prior and critical region for the Bayes factor test is only to specify the type I error. This is their only role sin...

Background: Palladium-103 (103Pd) is a brachytherapy source for cancer treatment. The Monte Carlo codes are usually applied for dose distribution and effect of shieldings. Monte Carlo calculation of dose distribution in water phantom due to a MED3633 103Pd source is presented in this work. Materials and Methods: The dose distribution around the 103Pd Model MED3633 located in the center of 30×...
