This study provides a general diversity analysis for joint complex diversity coding (CDC) and channel coding-based spacetime-frequency codeing is provided. The mapping designs from channel coding to CDC are crucial for efficient exploitation of the diversity potential. This study provides and proves a sufficient condition of full diversity construction with joint three-dimensional CDC and chann...

This chapter focuses on the automated mapping of high level specifications of DSP applications into implementation platforms that employ programmable DSPs. Since programmable DSPs are often used in conjunction with other types of programmable processors, such as microcontrollers and general-purpose microprocessors, and with various types of hardware modules, such as FPGAs, and ASIC circuitry, t...

Although the first description of sarcoidosis by Jonathan Hutchinson (1877) was of a patient who "suffered from gout", only recently has it been appreciated that joint manifestations are an important part of sarcoidosis. Myers, Gottlieb, Mattman, Eckley, and Chason (1952) first described migratory polyarthritis as a presenting feature of sarcoidosis in four cases, and Gendel, Young, and Greiner...

In this paper we propose an implementation of the joint fixpoint semantics on top of the DLV system. Our framework provides a front-end to compromise logic programs (COLPs) representing agents’ requirements or desires in a multi-agent environment. By exploiting a direct mapping from COLP programs to classic logic programs we compute COLPs’ joint fixpoints modeling a common agreement among agent...

We introduce a 3 3 3 tensor H and its dual Hijk which represent the 2D projective mapping of points across three projections (views). The tensor H is a generalization of the well known 2D collineation matrix (homography matrix) and it concatenates two homography matrices to represent the joint mapping across three views. The dual tensor Hijk concatenates two dual homography matrices (mappings o...

One hundred fifty two patients with Juve­ nile rheumatoid arthritis were retrospectively studied in an effort to determine the efficacy of synovectomy in thi's disease.  Twenty-five of 117 closely observed patients underwent synovectomy following failure to be controlled by more conservative measures. Analysis of the end-results on the basis of age, sex, stage of disease, and individual joints...
