BACKGROUND Stand Against Cancer (SAC) is a long-running, community-based, organization-led program that addresses breast and cervical cancer disparities. Managed by Access Community Health Network (ACCESS), ongoing program evaluation reports on program performance over 5 years and public health implications. OBJECTIVES To reduce disparities by making free cancer screening readily accessible t...

In this paper successive interference cancellation (SIC) based on optical code division multiple access (O-CDMA) systems has been investigated. SIC scheme refers to a family of low complexity multi-user detection (MUD) methods for direct sequence CDMA systems. Performance of optical CDMA system is influenced by multiple access interference (MAI) resulted from the overlapping between the users. ...

A split anode calorimeter (SAC) has been developed for the measurement of plasma transferred arc (PTA) energy density. novel aspect is use a laser beam with well-defined profile which was first measured using commercial diagnosis system and used to calibrate SAC. The SAC temperature data generated showed same by system. This confirmed accuracy method its suitability measuring distribution an el...

Multiple User Interference (MUI) considers the primary problem in Optical Code-Division Multiple Access (OCDMA), which resulting from the overlapping among the users. In this article we aim to mitigate this problem by studying an interference cancellation scheme called successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme. This scheme will be tested on two different detection schemes, spectral ampl...

The demand for efficient optical communication systems has fuelled considerable research in developing techniques for eradicating phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) in spectral-amplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA). This paper investigates the use of modified-AND subtraction detection technique to mitigate PIIN in SAC-OCDMA systems. The simulation results show tha...

In this paper, we present the impact of an EDFA (Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier) for high data rate in Spectral Amplitude Coding Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) networks. A Single photodiode (SPD) detection structure for SACOCDMA system is presented. The SPD detection can be flexibly constructed for any weight and number of users by using a single photodiode. Several advantages ...
