We propose a new type of ultimate-Shannon-limit-approaching codes called spatially coupled protograph-based low-density parity-check Hadamard convolutional (SC-PLDPCH-CCs), which are constructed by coupling PLDPC-Hadamard block codes. develop an efficient decoding algorithm that combines pipeline and layered scheduling for the SC-PLDPCH-CCs, analyze latency complexity decoder. To estimate thres...

Gothic Art and Architecture, religious and secular buildings, sculpture, stained glass, and illuminated manuscripts and other decorative arts produced in Europe during the latter part of the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century). Gothic art began to be produced in France about 1140, spreading to the rest of Europe during the following century. The Gothic Age ended with the advent of the Ren...

A team of students from City College of New York and the Bronx Community College, as well, traveled to the Yampa River Valley in the northwest of the Colorado State to conduct experiments related to the contamination of the air in January 2005. The objective of this report is to investigate if pollution from the valley reached Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL). According to the studies made on the tw...

The aim of this paper is to explain the divergent developmental outcomes between South Korea, Taiwan, and South Vietnam. Whilst US aid has correctly been cited as key factor in explaining the rapid post-war development of South Korea and Taiwan, the ultimate failure to establish strong institutions in South Vietnam calls for a closer analysis of how differing historical and geopolitical factors...

The topics of this thesis are the mathematical models of the magnetic recording channel and their ultimate information-theoretic limit, the capacity. Source and channel of a magnetic recording system can be represented by a single finitestate model (FSM). The joint source/channel FSM is fully specified by the state-transition probabilities of the source model and the output probability distribu...

Submarine pipelines failures lead to oil spills in water and may even lead to explosions with heavy financial and environmental damages. Trawl gear is one of the main factors in the failure of the submarine pipelines. In this paper, sensitivity analysis is performed on influence of height and span length alternations on the response of pipeline against the traction caused by trawling pull-over ...
