We study in this paper a two-hop relaying network consisting of one source, one destination, and three amplify-and-forward (AF) relays operating in a half-duplex mode. In order to compensate for the inherent loss of capacity pre-log factor 12 in a half-duplex mode, we consider alternate transmission protocol among three relays where two relays and the other relay alternately forward messages fr...

BACKGROUND: Deficit irrigation strategies were effective in saving volume of water. Potassium is an essential nutrient that affects most of the biochemical and physiological processes are involved in plant resistance to biotic and a biotic stresses. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to assess effect of different pattern of irrigation and several source...

‎we present an application of the dual gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎our algorithm is based on finding some dual gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying hilbert space‎. ‎the advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.

This article presents ac fault ride-through strategies for the “extended-overlap” operating mode of alternate arm converter (AAC), which is a type modular multilevel voltage source that has been proposed HVdc transmission applications. The AAC offers several benefits over half-bridge converter, such as requiring fewer submodules with smaller capacitance and providing dc capability. Novel symmet...

Alternate-1 and alternate-2 orientation of chromosomes, as well as the two types of adjacent orientation, were observed cytologically in the ring configurations of three reciprocal translocation heterozygotes of Gossypium hirsutum L. The observations indicate that the two types of alternate orientation should be characteristic of ring-forming translocations.
