The Static DPF Simulator is a tool for evaluating the performance of the RouteBased Distributed Packet Filtering (DPF) protocol [4, 3] in a static network environment. In this document, we describe the operation of the DPF simulator and the structure of the programs in the package, and discuss certain issues related to installing and running the DPF simulator tool suite. ∗This work was supporte...

In this paper, the performance of the Z-MAP algorithmis explored in the context of the turbo equalization of thefaster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signals. The complexity of the Z-MAP,in terms of the number of the surviving states at each time epoch,is studied. Finally, the performance of the Z-MAP is comparedto that of the backup M-BCJR for turbo equalizing the FTNsignals.

Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling aided non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is conceived and its achievable rate quantified in the presence of random link delays different users. We reveal that exploiting may potentially lead to a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) gain, while t...

Recently, change detection (CD) of remote sensing images have achieved great progress with the advances deep learning. However, current methods generally deliver incomplete CD regions and irregular boundaries due to limited representation ability extracted visual features. To relieve these issues, in this work we propose a novel learning framework named Fully Transformer Network (FTN) for image...

This article explores the relationships between violences against women (VAW) and rural development in context of postwar Guatemala’s Northern Transversal Strip region (FTN). How might we understand development, its gendered implications, VAW this context? What are implications these entanglements for feminist activism? The question a twofold way. First, drawing on decolonial political economic...

introduction: this study was performed to evaluate the correlation between the objective and subjective sensation of nasal patency, assessed through a validated questionnaire, the italian version of the nose scale, and the rhinomanometric results in a large cohort of patients complaining about nasal obstruction.     materials and methods: data was obtained from a total of 233 adult patients, (1...

The Escherichia coli Fur protein, with its iron(II) cofactor, represses iron assimilation and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) genes, thus coupling iron metabolism to protection against oxygen toxicity. Iron assimilation is triggered by iron starvation in wild-type cells and is constitutive in fur mutants. We show that iron metabolism deregulation in fur mutants produces an iron overload,...

In this paper, we propose novel reduced-complexity fast Fourier transform (FFT)-spread multicarrier faster-than-Nyquist (MFTN) signaling with power allocation for a frequency-selective fading channel. The information rate of the proposed MFTN is derived by relying on circulant approximation FTN-specific intersymbol interference matrix and noise covariance matrix. This allows us to constitute ef...
