This paper considers the design of signature waveforms for successive-decoding-type multiuser receivers [including the optimum successive decoder (OSD)] in a correlated-waveform multiple-access channel. The problem is to obtain signature waveforms that require as little bandwidth as possible while allowing the receiver to meet a given set of quality-of-service (QoS) objectives. The QoS objectiv...

The current storage models for Object-Oriented DataBase (OODB), which organize data as objects according to the Object-Oriented Data Model (OODM), are mainly established on the block storage devices. In this way, the storage manager does not have detailed knowledge of the characteristics of the underlying storage devices, and the storage subsystem does not have the semantic knowledge of the dat...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of symptoms of ocular surface disease and its relationship with associated risk factors in students from the University of Monterrey using Ocular Surface Disease (OSDI) questionnaire. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted between October and December 2014 to assess the prevalence and risk factors for ocular surfac...

PURPOSE To culture and characterize oral mucosal epithelial cells (OMEC) grown on de-epithelialized human amniotic membrane (HAM) to explore their suitability as autografts in patients with bilateral ocular surface disease (OSD) and limbal stem cell deficiency. METHODS Oral biopsy samples were obtained from 20 patients undergoing oral reconstructive surgery, with informed consent and Institut...

Okra seeds (OSD) have been proved to possess significantly anti-fatigue activity and due to their high contents of flavonoids and polyphenols. While, the quality of OSD is easily affected by harvest time, region and other factors. In this research, the rapid method based on Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy was developed for quality assessment of okra seeds. Firstly, 120 sam...

Cytochrome c oxidase consists of three mitochondrion- and several nucleus-encoded subunits. We previously found that in a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking nucleus-encoded subunit 4 of this enzyme (CoxIV), subunits 2 and 3 (CoxII and CoxIII), both encoded by the mitochondrial DNA, were unstable and rapidly degraded in mitochondria, presumably because the subunits cannot assemble normal...

Introduction The protective ocular mechanisms are disrupted due to sedation and neuromuscular relaxants. This increases the risk of developing surface disease (OSD) leading increased post critical care morbidity. risks further in patients who nursed prone as access eyes is limited. Our aim was determine whether eye met standard Ophthalmic Services Guidance improve quality provided if found be d...

Abstract Introduction With the rising incidence of both obesity and urolithiasis, need to perform stone surgery in high BMI patients is increasing. We analysed safety efficacy one-shot tract dilatation (OSD) technique obese undergoing supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Method Retrospective review all PCNLs performed by a single surgeon between January 2014 December 2020. Patient factor...

Ship detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has attracted widespread attention due to its significance and challenges. In recent years, numerous detectors based on deep learning have achieved good performance the field of SAR ship detection. However, targets same type always various representations under different imaging conditions, while types ships may a high degree similarity, w...
