Coherent modulation formats have gained considerable importance in high-capacity, high-efficiency optical systems. A key component for achieving good transmission performances are Lithium niobate modulators, which can be designed and optimized to operate with BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM and OFDM modulation schemes providing excellent results. Keywords-LiNbO3; coherent systems; modulators.

We consider Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as the conjunction of three components: search, preference tradeoffs, and interactive visualization. The first MCDM component is the search process over the space of possible solutions to identify the nondominated solutions that compose the Pareto set. The second component is the preference tradeoff process to select a single solution (or a smal...

The Algebraic Space Time Codes (ASTC) are constructed based on cyclic algebras; they showed a good spectral efficiency, a full diversity, and a full rate under non selective channel condition. However, the radio mobile channel is a selective channel whose features vary during the time. This selectivity is owed to the multi-path phenomenon and generates interferences between symbols (IES). The o...

effectiveness of military is function of training system effectiveness. notice to training system and knowledge about effectiveness and efficiency is one of the important functions of top military leaders. goal of this study is achieving a performance appraisal model for measuring effectiveness and efficiency of military university training system. for achieving this goal, we design two main qu...

This paper studies contract selection between efficiency wages and subjective performance pay to motivate workers in a market setting. The optimal wage contract (which may be a combination of efficiency wages and subjective performance pay) is determined by turnover costs in labor markets. Specifically, labor markets with higher turnover costs use more subjective performance pay and less effici...

Pareto dominance plays an important role in diverse application domains such as economics and e-commerce, and it is widely being used in multicriteria decision making. In these cases, objectives are usually contradictory and therefore it is not straightforward to provide a set of items that are the “best” according to the user’s preferences. Skyline queries have been extensively used to recomme...

Wireless camera networks provide a unique opportunity for collaborative surveillance. Performance evaluation and optimization of camera networks, however, has seldom been addressed. This chapter fills this gap by detailing an approach by which individual cameras and a whole network of cameras can be simultaneously optimized in terms of Pareto efficiency using multi-objective optimization of per...
