This paper includes VHDL imlementation of WI max OFDM timing and frequency offset estimation.. It operates in the time domain (before the FFT) and use the repeating pattern of the cycle prefix to gain information about the symbol timing and frequency offset. The timing waveforms analysis show that timing is determined by noticing that the correlation of the signal with a delayed version of itse...

In the studies of nonlinear dynamics, phase plan plot is a most commonly used tool for solution characteristics interpretation. Phase plan plot provides an adequate representation of the dynamic characteristics of single solution, but it does not provide information on the interrelation between neighboring solutions; therefore, the evolution of solutions is studied by examining fragmented infor...

On 15 September 1995 a Malaysian Airlines (MAS) Fokker 50 plane plunged while descending and crashed, killing thirty-four passengers aboard. The dental disaster victim identification team comprising dental surgeons from the Dental faculty, University of Malaya; Ministry of Health, Sabah; and the Malaysian Defence Forces played an active role in the identification process. Most of the bodies wer...

The frequency of national and international disaster events, increased media attention, and regulatory changes have all contributed to an improved public awareness of the vital role hospitals play in a crisis. Although hospital disaster preparedness efforts have matured dramatically since the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, much work still remains to prepare all hospitals for potential p...

Business process management and systems have been proven mature and highly beneficial in many domains. Recent surveys by leading market analysts say that the next challenge for BPM are unstructured processes. Based on a domain study in disaster response management, we identify current shortcomings of business process models and management with respect to unstructured processes. We develop a gen...

There has been an increase in the occurrence of natural disasters and their impact has aroused the interest of many stakeholders to incorporate different strategies on disaster management. Although, disaster ceased many opportunities and lives, the lives of survivors do not cease in the disaster affected areas. This bespeaks the need to develop communities to cope up with challenges during post...

BACKGROUND Research conducted following natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes is crucial for improving relief interventions. Such research, however, poses ethical, methodological and logistical challenges for researchers. Oversight of disaster research also poses challenges for research ethics committees (RECs), in part due to the rapid turnaround needed to initiate resear...

The increase in the incidence of disasters recent years has given birth to many ideas disaster mitigation efforts save lives from effects disasters. system Indonesia is still far ideal. Mitigation technology only limited pre-disaster and early warning. There no that facilitates knowledge preparedness. Education procedures must be imitated by community are very necessary. aim study was determine...
