This paper presents the construction and testing of a large instrumented 2D channel for simulation performance compacted barriers under controlled conditions insolation rainfall. Details main apparatus devices capabilities results long-term test performed on capillary barrier (CB) are presented. The aimed to simulate behavior CB over 1 year in typical semi-arid conditions. was considered very p...

Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) is an open-source computational grammar formalism that is becoming increasingly popular for studying the history and evolution of language. This demonstration shows how FCG can be used to operationalise the cultural processes and cognitive mechanisms that underly language evolution and change.

We present a theory of object-orientation on the basis of the re-nement calculus. This theory allows for specifying the behaviour of objects and provides a calculus for the proof of relationships between classes such as reenement. Given two similar, but not identical classes, we present an algorithm to construct a common superclass which is reened by both classes, and an algorithm to construct ...

This paper describes how object-oriented software construction principles allow to develop extensible and reusable building blocks for the development of data flow based visual languages. First we’ll present the data flow visual language ProtoHyperflow whose object-oriented realization is discussed in the second part of the paper.

In [1], a non-symmetric ternary communication channel inspired by 3-valued semiconductor memories was introduced, and error-correcting coding for this channel was studied. The authors of [1] showed the relevance of the minimum d1-distance (defined below) of a ternary code for judging its error-correcting capabilities on this channel, gave a code construction, and derived a Hamming-like upper bo...

In this paper, construction of partitioned Reed Solomon coded modulation (RSCM), which is robust for the additive white Gaussian noise channel and a Rayleigh fading channel, is investigated. By matching configuration of component codes with the channel characteristics, it is shown that this system is robust for the Gaussian and a Rayleigh fading channel. This approach is compared with non-parti...

In this paper, we investigate the impact of applying the channel estimation method in [I] to an OFDM system quipped with rate 1 non-orthogonal space time block code[Z] for K transmit and 1 receive antenna. A new training pattern based on the Hadamard construction is designed that enables estimation of the K channels separately and thus reduces the effective noise variance in the estimate. The s...
