This paper considers the issue of optimal subcarrier allocation in OFDMA. We show, via a counter example, that water-filling based subcarrier allocation policies, contrary to conventional wisdom, fail to provide rate-stability for an otherwise stabilizable OFDMA system. Water-filling is too myopic when considering longtime average performance, e.g. delay, queue lengths, and even long-run throug...

water deficient is one of the most important limiting factors in rapeseed (brassica napus l.) production in arid and semiarid areas speciallyiran, which is the best approach to deal with the introduction of resistant and compatible varieties to drought stress. the response of fourteen rapeseed cultivars to water stress was studied in a split plot experiment based on complete randomized block de...

The types of fractured-vuggy reservoirs are diverse, with dissolution holes and fractures different scales as the main reservoir spaces. Clarifying connectivity between wells is crucial for improving recovery rate avoiding problems poor water- flooding balance serious water channeling. A traditional dynamic connected model hardly describes geological characteristics multiple media, such karst c...

We derive the capacity and optimal power allocation scheme for a two-user fading broadcast channel where minimum rates must be maintained for each user in all fading states, assuming that the transmitter and both receivers have perfect channel state information. We show that superposition coding can achieve the capacity of such channels and explicitly characterize the boundary of the capacity r...

In this paper we review the feature selection and representation techniques in CBIR systems, and propose a unified feature representation paradigm. We revise our previously proposed water-filling edge features with newly proposed primitives and present them using this unified feature formation paradigm. Multi-scale feature formation is proposed to support cross-resolution image matching. Sub-im...

The article is devoted to studying the stress-strain state (SSS) and assessing strength of Gissarak, Sokh, Pachkamar earth dams in a plane statement under action body forces hydrostatic pressure. A mathematical model, algorithm, computer program for structures are developed using Lagrange variational equation. finite element method was used problem solution. adequacy model accuracy algorithm we...

Due to the changes in viewpoint, holes may appear in the novel view synthesized by depth-image-based rendering (DIBR). A hole-filling method combining disparity-mapbased hole-filling and inpainting is proposed. The method first eliminates matching errors in destination image according to the disparity map. Then, holes are classified into different types according to their sizes. Finally, a disp...

In this study, a novel approach which uses combination of steganography and cryptography for hiding information into digital images as host media is proposed. In the process, secret data is first encrypted using the mono-alphabetic substitution cipher method and then the encrypted secret data is embedded inside an image using an algorithm which combines the random patterns based on Space Fillin...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathophysiological (cardiac function and physical performance) significance of clinically silent interstitial lung water accumulation in patients with moderate heart failure; to use isolated ultrafiltration as a means of extravascular fluid reabsorption. DESIGN Echocardiographic, Doppler, chest x-ray evaluations, and cardiopulmonary tests at baseline, soon after u...
