The derivation and analysis of optimum multiuser detectors for additive-rate and additive-light Poisson multiple-access channels are studied. The observed point process models the output of an ideal photodetector illuminated by several synchronous or asynchronous users who modulate coherent light of the same frequency. Dynamic programmingbased decision rules for the asynchronous multiple-access...

The segmentation of T1-weighted images into gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a fundamental processing step in neuroimaging, the results of which affect many other structural imaging analyses. Variability in the segmentation process can decrease the power of a study to detect anatomical differences, and minimizing such variability can lead to more robust resu...

This paper presents the design a power amplifier (PA) for direct sequence ultra-wideband applications using 0.13 μm CMOS technology operating in a low band frequency of 3.1 GHz to 5.1 GHz. Current-reused technique is employed at the first stage to increase the gain at the upper end of the desired band. Cascaded common source configuration with shunt peaking inductor at the second stage helps to...

 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of asynchronous computer-mediated versus conventional corrective feedback on learners' writing accuracy. Three groups of learners took part in the study: asynchronous feedback group, conventional feedback group, and a control group. Asynchronous feedback group students received explicit feedback on the targeted structure via e-mail, while...

The ultrafast pump–probe measurement represents a key technique to study fs–ps dynamics. asynchronous optical sampling (ASOPS) method realizes fast and long time-range with high time resolution using different repetition frequency light pulses. difference Δ f is an important parameter, as it dictates the resolution. However, usual ASOPS measurements require complex precise stabilizer control or...

Most new network builds and major upgrades in recent years have been focused on building dynamic reconfigurable optical layers to support the explosive growth in IP traffic. These advanced optical layers include Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) devices allowing network operators to dynamically configure the wavelengths to be added and dropped at each network node, thus increa...

Most of the Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy (TSF) systems found in the literature have only used linear functions of input variables as rule consequent and can be called as TSF Models with Fixed Coefficient (TSFMFC). This paper presents TSF model with variable coefficient (TSFMVC) which can more closely approximate a class of nonlinear systems, nonlinear dynamic systems, and nonlinear control systems. It i...
