In this paper, we present the system level performance analysis of the OFDM for UTRAN system in a multiuser, multicell and multiservice environment. First the OPNET-based simulation platform is introduced and its main modules and major functions are described; then based on this platform the modeling methodologies specified to OPNET and system level simulation are given, which includes interfac...

INTRODUCTION Capacity building approaches are useful in large-scale community-based health promotion interventions. However, models to guide and evaluate capacity building among social service agency staff in community settings are rare in the literature. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a 1-day (7 h) train-the-trainer (TTT) workshop for the "Enhancing Family Well-Being Pr...

In this paper, the Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffic of the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) networks is investigated. A protocol is proposed to enhance the network performance and increase its capacity. This enhancement comes from using Wise Algorithm for Link Admission Control (WALAC). The QoS of multimedia transmission is determined in terms of ave...

I have been asked to discuss the use of immunologie en hancement in studying tumor antigens. Strictly speaking, there is little to say on this topic, for although enhancement has attracted much experimental attention, most investigations have been designed to find out more about the phenomenon itself. It has not been widely used as a technic for studying tumor antigens. In some early work on wh...

Preparations of mouse interferon enhanced the expression of surface antigens of murine leukemia L 1210 cells, as determined by their alloantibody-absorbing capacity. The factor responsible for the enhancement of surface antigen expression could not be dissociated from the antiviral activity of interferon by standard physicochemical means. Likewise, interferon did not increase the antibody-absor...

We investigate the problem of enhancement of mutual information by encoding classical data into entangled input states of arbitrary length and show that while there is a threshold memory or correlation parameter beyond which entangled states outperform the separable states, resulting in a higher mutual information, this memory threshold increases toward unity as the length of the string increas...

An intrinsically stable type-I optical parametric oscillator was built with a periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) crystal to generate a stable bright, continuous-wave, broadband phase-squeezed beam. A 3.2 dB sensitivity enhancement of optical interferometry was demonstrated on weak electrooptic modulation signals within a 20 MHz squeezing bandwidth. This also realized a channel capacity increase...

Although transhumanism offers hope for the transcendence of human biological limitations, it generates many intrinsic and consequential ethical concerns. The latter include issues such as the exacerbation of social inequalities and the exponentially increasing technological capacity to cause harm. To mitigate these risks, many thinkers have initiated investigations into the possibility of moral...
