In this paper, we propose a low complexity clipping method to reduce the peak power of OFDM signals. The proposed clipping method exploits the conventional square clipping, which clips signal according to the amplitude in I/Q-channels separately, to avoid obtaining a real amplitude of each sample which costs relatively high computational complexities. By combining the square clipping and phase ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular coiling therapy is increasingly popular for obliteration of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, but older patients face higher procedural risks and shorter periods during which an untreated aneurysm may rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We assessed trends in clipping and coiling of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, outcomes after clipping and coi...

OBJECTIVE The comparative effectiveness of the 2 treatment options-surgical clipping and endovascular coiling-for unruptured cerebral aneurysms remains an issue of debate and has not been studied in clinical trials. The authors investigated the association between treatment method for unruptured cerebral aneurysms and outcomes in elderly patients. METHODS The authors performed a cohort study of...

one method of treating ruptured anterior communicating aneurysms is presented. this permits early clipping through a bifrontal flap. key branches of the circle of willis are temporarily occluded by special removable clips before exposing and permanently clipping the aneurysm. this requires the use of hypothermia at 28'0. and other technical aids described. the risk of a fatal recurrent hemorrha...

Clipping (i.e., harvesting aboveground plant biomass) is common in agriculture and for bioenergy production. However, microbial responses to clipping in the context of climate warming are poorly understood. We investigated the interactive effects of grassland warming and clipping on soil properties and plant and microbial communities, in particular, on microbial functional genes. Clipping alone...

Toe clipping and ear clipping (also ear notching or ear punching) are frequently used methods for individual identification of laboratory rodents. These procedures potentially cause severe discomfort, which can reduce animal welfare and distort experimental results. However, no systematic summary of the evidence on this topic currently exists. We conducted a systematic review of the evidence fo...

Keywords: Bé zier curve Curve intersection Bé zier clipping Hybrid clipping a b s t r a c t This paper presents a novel approach, called hybrid clipping, for computing all intersections between two polynomial Bé zier curves within a given parametric domain in the plane. Like Bé zier clipping, we compute a 'fat line' (a region along a line) to bound one of the curves. Then we compute a 'fat curv...

Clipping is often observed in speech acquisition, due to the limited numerical range or the non-linear compensation of recording devices. The clipping inevitably changes the spectrum of speech signals, and thus partially distorts the speaker information contained in the signal. This paper investigates the impact of signal clipping on speaker recognition, and proposes a simple yet effective clip...

the objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...
