This paper investigates the performance of two diversity techniques for relay networks with the Amplify-Forward (AF) protocol. A distributed Interleave-Division-Multiplexing Space-Time Code (IDM-STC) is compared with Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) in an OFDM based system. The aim of this paper is to figure out advantages and drawbacks of these two quite different approaches for various scenarios....

Subject review Traffic congestions in urban networks could contribute to adverse impact on the economy, environment and the quality of life. As a result, much research has been conducted to provide counter measures through traffic-responsive control strategies. These strategies aim to provide automated regulations of traffics through various control and intelligent systems methodologies. This p...

An image difference structure is created that include of image regularization, feature derivation, and feature grouping. Based on this structure image difference measure is created by selecting exact implementations for each of the steps. An image difference prediction is then calculated using image difference features (IDFs) that are derived from the images. The input images are then regulariz...

ABSTRACT Objetive To determine whether full-term newborn infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) present immature/ disorganised EEG patterns in the immediate neonatal period, and whether there was any relationship with maternal glycaemic control. Design and setting Cohort st...

There have been numerous studies in understanding driver behavior for purpose of understanding contributing factors to high accident rates. Driving abnormalities could be one of the many factors affecting accidents and if it can be detected this will help prevent accidents. In this paper we present simple and effective methods for an in-car data acquisition in collecting real time driving data....

Hot ring rolling is a highly nonlinear, unsteady-state and asymmetry process which is affected by many parameters. The friction coefficient between the ring ,the driver roll and the idle roll is one of the problems, which has significant effect on the quality of final product. In this study, the effect of these two parameters on hot ring rolling was investigated based on a 3D coupled-thermo mec...

We examine the relic density of light mass dark matter region in inert doublet model (IDM) when dominant process is due to co-annihilation between lightest neutral scalars model. The full one-loop electroweak corrections are computed an on-shell scheme and found be well approximated as effective cross-section expressed terms $Z$-observables. subdominant which consists annihilation into $W$ off-...

In this paper, a new microscopic traffic model based on forward and rearward driver response is proposed. Driver characterized using the distance time headways. Existing models such as Intelligent (ID) characterize flow constant acceleration exponent. This exponent reflects uniform behaviour during different conditions which unrealistic. slow with large headway quick short headway. Conversely, ...

Hydrological forecasting can provide the basis for dealing with the conflict between flood control and water use. This paper proposes a flood and sediment forecasting method for rivers by deriving an energy equation which describes the conservation of potential slope, kinetic slope, and friction slope of a river reach. The equation contains an additional term, the rate of change of stage, which...

The effects of indomethacin (IDM) and aspirin (ASA) on ACh (10 microM) -stimulated exocytotic events were studied in guinea pig antral mucous cells by using video optical microscopy. IDM or ASA, which inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX), decreased the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events by 30% or 60%, respectively. The extent of inhibition induced by ASA (60%) decreased by 30% when IDM or a...
