Abstract: Based on two fractional-order chaotic complex drive systems and one fractional-order chaotic complex response system with different dimensions, we propose generalized combination complex synchronization. In this new synchronization scheme, there are two complex scaling matrices that are non-square matrices. On the basis of the stability theory of fractional-order linear systems, we de...

Three physiologically characterized spindle (group Ia) afferents were labeled by the intracellular injection of HRP and were processed for light-level reconstruction. Thirty-five boutons in the ventral horn were then selected for analysis. They were serially thin sectioned and characterized in terms of volume, total surface area and the surface area of apposition to postsynaptic neurons (appose...

Active zones are presynaptic regions where synaptic vesicles fuse with plasma membrane to release neurotransmitters. Active zones are highly organized structurally and are functionally conserved among different species. Synapse defective-2 (SYD-2) family proteins regulate active zone morphology in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila. Here, we demonstrate by immunoelectron microscopy that at C...

In this paper, an enhanced soft handoff algorithm is proposed to improve system capacity for multi-rate DS-CDMA cellular systems. In the algorithm, we first propose a load-based power allocation scheme for serving soft handoff users in the forward link; we next develop two kinds of active set determination mechanism: a quality-based active set control (QBASC) scheme and fuzzy active set control...

In packet switched networks, routers need to implement controls to overcome the problems of reduced performance in the event of congestion. In this work, with a view towards robust implementation, we examine a new active queue management scheme, Acceptance and Departure Rate (ADR) that uses a combination of acceptance rate and departure rate measures to control link congestion. Unlike many exis...

This paper studies the influence of the Active Set main parameters in different UTRA-FDD scenarios by evaluating the system capacity, as well as BS and UE transmitted power levels. Some of the parameters obtained as outputs of the proposed Power Control algorithm (PC) can be also easily used to optimise the admission procedure and scenario capacity, while avoiding cell congestion.

The objectives of this study were to assess whether current surveillance capacity is sufficient to fulfill EU and Danish regulations to control a hypothetical foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) epidemic in Denmark, and whether enlarging the protection and/or surveillance zones could minimize economic losses. The stochastic spatial simulation model DTU-DADS was further developed to simulate clinical s...
