We present a statistical model for the delay profile of ultra-wideband channels in indoor environments. Two kinds of profiles are defined, namely the multipath intensity profile (MIP) and the power delay profile (PDP). The MIP is he delay profile at a point in space, while the PDP is a local spatial average. The model is based on 60,000 complex frequency response measurements from 20 commercial...

This paper introduces a new design of penternary inverter gate based on graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor (GNRFET). The penternary logic is one of Multiple-valued logic (MVL) circuits which are the best substitute for binary logic because of its low power-delay product (PDP) resulting from reduced complexity of interconnects and chip area. GNRFET is preferred over Si-MOSFET for circui...

General packet radio service (GPRS) provides efficient access to the integrated services Internet from wireless networks. When the GPRS-attached mobile station attempts to send or receive data, a packet data protocol (PDP) context shall be established. The GPRS session management (SM) supports the PDP context handling, which consists of PDP context activation, deactivation, and modification pro...

Kota Makassar berada di urutan pertama dengan jumlah pengidap HIV terbesar Sulawesi Selatan. Untuk mencegah terjadinya penularan semakin meluas salah satu cara yang dilakukan pemerintah pembentukan layanan HIV/AIDS atau disebut Layanan Perawatan Dukungan dan Pengobatan (PDP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seperti apa implementasi pelayanan (PDP) pasien Puskesmas Antang Makassar. mer...

OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP) is a frequent complication of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD) with significant impact on quality of life and association with poorer outcomes. Atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs) are often used for the treatment of PDP; however, their use is often complicated by adverse drug reactions (ADRs). In this study, we present patients with PDP who were...

One of the clinical features of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a deep inflammatory process, which is characterized by production and release of cytokines and chemokines, among which interleukin 8 (IL-8) represents one of the most important. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in developing therapies against CF to reduce the excessive inflammatory response in the airways of CF patients. Since tran...

There is no documentation in the literature of the risk of hypoxemia after chest percussion in acutely ill adults with nonsurgical pulmonary disorders. We studied the immediate effect of postural drainage and chest percussion (PDP) on oxygenation in 22 hospitalized patients with a variety of acute, nonsurgical pulmonary disorders. Heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and arterial blood...

Motivations of CMOS technology scaling are higher speed of operation, benefit of integration density and lower power dissipation. CMOS technology has crossed many hurdles over the past four decades. The aggressive technology scaling is causing device parameter variations, which is more severe than earlier. This paper carries out variability analysis of various popular exclusive-OR circuits at t...

OBJECTIVES To describe the development, implementation, and preliminary outcome of the Pain-Disability Prevention (PDP) Program. The PDP Program is a 10-week cognitive-behavioral intervention program that aims to increase daily involvement in goal-directed activity and minimize psychological barriers to activity involvement after occupational injury. Workers' Compensation Board claimants with s...
