Smart grid can be a solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To perform its task, smart grid needs a communication link to communicate between nodes or devices. Using power-line communications (PLC) is beneficial as the power-lines infrastructure has been available. However, in PLC the transmitted signal undergoes multipath channels and impulsive noise corruption. Meanwhile, orthog...

This study was carried out to establish clipping interval of Pennisetum orientale (PO) and Panicum antidotale (PA) to get maximum biomass production with optimal nutritional value for Nili buffaloes. Two clipping intervals i.e. CI1, and CI2 (clipped after every one and two months, respectively) were studied for both grasses. The data on various parameters were compared with PO and PA each clipp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relative merits of treating ruptured aneurysms with clipping versus coiling continue to be a topic of debate. We evaluated a national, multihospital patient data base to examine recent trends in ruptured aneurysm therapies and to compare peri-procedural outcomes between clipping and coiling treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Premier Perspective data base was used...

Recent developments in cerebral angiography equipment and workstations have made it possible to produce clear angiograms useful images for neurosurgery. At our institution, we routinely perform aneurysm clipping after presurgical simulation using imaging data obtained three-dimensional angiography. This report describes the clinical significance of clipping.

In this paper, we propose clipping noise cancellation scheme using compressed sensing (CS) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In the proposed scheme, only the data tones with high reliability are exploited in reconstructing the clipping noise instead of the whole data tones. For reconstructing the clipping noise using a fraction of the data tones at the receiver, the...

OFDM transmission in optical wireless channel is established via asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM). Clipping is one of the simplest methods to reduce the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Clipping leads to additional in-band distortion and out-of band distortion. In this paper it is proposed to mitigate the clipping noise by iterative reconstruction based method and Channel ...

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD) optical systems. By using this novel scheme of an OFDM optical system, not only odd subcarriers but also even subcarriers can be modulated to transmit a clipping optical signal. A conventional asymmetrically clipping optical (ACO)-OFDM is applied to mod...

The peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) is one of the major problems of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Various PAPR reduction techniques have been given in the past. Among these techniques, the clipping technique has been widely adopted as a practical scheme because of its low computational complexity and simplicity in implementation, while the pre-coding technique is...
