Chunked codes are efficient random linear network coding (RLNC) schemes with low computational cost, where the input packets are encoded into small chunks (i.e., subsets of the coded packets). During the network transmission, RLNC is performed within each chunk. In this paper, we first introduce a simple transfer matrix model to characterize the transmission of chunks and derive some basic prop...

Coupling a Chemical Looping Combustor fed with biofuels turbo expander is promising Negative Emissions Technology (NET) to realize climate neutral targets in China and Europe. This also an example of Bioenergy Carbon Capture Storage (BECCS) technology. To it, we need Pressurized Combustion process (PCLC). In this work, Eulerian-Lagrangian hybrid model developed Barracuda-VRTM software, incorpor...

background neck reconstruction is considered as one of the most important surgeries in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. the present study aimed to assess the results of reconstructive surgery of extensive face and neck burning scars using tissue expanders. methods this descriptive prospective study was conducted on 36 patients with extensive burning scars on the neck and face. operation for...

INTRODUCTION: Nearly 75% of breast reconstruction procedures performed by ASPS members in 2015 involved tissue expanders. Despite the advantages of expander-based reconstruction, complications are common and can require early removal of the tissue expander. Patient preference and oncologic factors may also prompt unanticipated removal of the tissue expander. We present our experience with tissu...

In this paper, the combination of equalization and turbo decoding is studied. In the iterative decoding of a product code in block turbo coding system, the equalization process is performed within the iteration loop. The present study aims to investigate the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) incorporated in the iterative decoding. Simulation results show that the more severe the channel interfe...

The effect of the internal heat exchanger (IHE) on the performance of the transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle with an expander is analyzed theoretically on the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The possible parameters affecting system efficiency such as heat rejection pressure, gas cooler outlet temperature, evaporating temperature, expander isentropic efficienc...
