We establish the optimal diversity-multiplexing (DM) tradeoff for coherent selective-fading multipleaccess MIMO channels and provide corresponding code design criteria. As a byproduct, on the conceptual level, we find an interesting relation between the DM tradeoff framework and the notion of dominant error event regions, first introduced in the AWGN case by Gallager, IEEE Trans. IT, 1985. This...

Hyper-minimization aims to compute a minimal deterministic finite automaton (dfa) that recognizes the same language as a given dfa up to a finite number of errors. Algorithms for hyper-minimization that run in time O(n logn), where n is the number of states of the given dfa, have been reported recently in [Gawrychowski and Jeż: Hyperminimisation made efficient. Proc. Mfcs, Lncs 5734, 2009] and ...

Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, Vol. 11, No. 6, 2015 Sleep is essential for optimal health. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and Sleep Research Society (SRS) developed a consensus recommendation for the amount of sleep needed to promote optimal health in adults, using a modifi ed RAND Appropriateness Method process. The recommendation is summarized here. A manuscript detailing ...

This paper applies artificial neural networks to forecast gasoline consumption. The ANN is implemented using the cross entropy error function in the training stage. The cross entropy function is proven to accelerate the backpropagation algorithm and to provide good overall network performance with relatively short stagnation periods. To forecast gasoline consumption (GC), the ANN uses previous ...

This comparative study aims at highlighting the symbolism of olive tree in Palestinian and Spanish poetry. Since is elemental both cultures, attempts to tackle four main themes such a dominant tree: resistance, peace, eternity, homeland. In order conduct study, number poems employing are investigated analyzed highlight closeness between cultures. The tries prove matchfullness poetries. selectio...

This paper begins a series studying D-modules on the Feigin-Frenkel semi-infinite flag variety from the perspective of the Beilinson-Drinfeld factorization (or chiral) theory. Here we calculate Whittaker-twisted cohomology groups of Zastava spaces, which are certain finite-dimensional subvarieties of the affine Grassmannian. We show that such cohomology groups realize the nilradical of a Borel ...
