Motivated by recent results in Joint Source/Channel (JSC) coding and decoding, this paper addresses the problem of soft input decoding of Arithmetic Codes (AC). A new length-constrained scheme for JSC decoding of these codes is proposed based on the Maximum a posteriori (MAP) sequence estimation criterion. The new decoder, called Chase-like arithmetic decoder is supposed to know the source symb...

This paper presents transient stability and power flow models of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and current Sourced Inverter (CSI) based Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) Controllers. A model of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), the application of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in improving transient stability in power systems.MATLAB/SIMULINK is used to...

In the open access restructured power system market, it is necessary to develop an appropriate pricing scheme that can provide the useful economic information to market participants, such as generation, transmission companies and customers. Though many methods have already been proposed, but accurately estimating and allocating the transmission cost in the transmission pricing scheme is still a...

UNLABELLED The goal of this study was to assess the effect of diaphragmatic respiratory motion on inferior wall cold artifact in myocardial SPECT and to assess the ability of attenuation correction (AC) to correct for this artifact in the presence of diaphragmatic motion. METHODS We used an anthropomorphic phantom with ventricular wall activity, variable ventricular caudal tilt, attenuating l...
