Significant confusion exists in the literature about functional status. Despite its importance, little attention has focused on developing and substantiating frameworks that detail the underpinnings of functional status, which has resulted in lack of agreement about its definition and dimensions. The purpose of this literature review was to examine the development of functional status and to de...

Cyclic codes are an interesting class of linear codes due to their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms as well as their theoretical importance. BCH codes form a subclass of cyclic codes and are very important in both theory and practice as they have good error-correcting capability and are widely used in communication systems, storage devices and consumer electronics. However, the dimens...

In this paper we consider an asynchronous direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) communication system over an AWGN channel. We are interested in reducing the computational complexity of a receiver by lowering the dimensionality of the received vector. Dimension reduction has previously been done in an ad hoc manner by several researchers. In this paper we derive an optimum form...

Steganography techniques find importance in military applications because of their ability to communicate covertly. It is evident for any image steganography technique that if the payload can be represented in a smaller dimension than its original form, then the actual embedding requirement can be lessened thereby improving the statistical imperceptibility of the method. This paper presents an ...

There are remarkable relations between the graded homological dimensions and the ordinary homological dimensions. In this paper, we study the injective dimension of a complex of graded modules and derive its some properties. In particular, we define the $^*$dualizing complex for a graded ring and investigate its consequences.

In this paper chipless RFID tag, capable of carrying 9-bit data is presented. The tag is optimized for several flexible substrates. With growing information and communication technology, sensor integration with data transmission has gained significant attention. Therefore, the tag with the same dimension is then optimized using paper substrate. For different values of permittivity, the relative...

The one-to-all broadcast is the most primary operation in a multicomputer network. In this paper, we study this problem in a wormhole-routed 3D torus which provides the dimension-ordered routing and the all-port communication capability. We propose an efficient scheme to utilize the distance-insensitive characteristic of wormhole routing. The scheme requires at most 4 steps more than the optima...

Recently, the authors of [1] have presented the Stokes-vector direct detection transceiver as a promising candidate for noncoherent short-haul fiber-optic communication. Their method was improved by MorsyOsman, et al. in [2] to exploit all four transmitted signal-space dimensions, but their proposed methods for detecting the fourth dimension all suffer various practical drawbacks. In this paper...
