This paper presents the Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder for multiband OFDM(MB-OFDM) ultra-wideband(UWB). In UWB system, RS (23,17) code is adopted. To achieve high throughput and small area, two iterative Modified Euclidean (ME) blocks are proposed to work by turns in this paper. The architectures of syndrome block, ME block, Chien search block, Forney block are presented later in detail. At last, this

The aim of this study was to analyze the MRI findings and assess the prevalence of different associated structural abnormalities in children with scoliosis and to determine if the age of onset is a possible indicator of intraspinal pathology. This is a retrospective analysis of 663 consecutive MR examinations (319 patients). Thirteen patients with known intraspinal tumors were excluded and a total
A summary of the two volumes of Altering Consciousness: Multidisciplinary Perspectives
When designing a new basic course in statistics for students in Environmental Engineering at Lund University, our aim was that assessment should be an integral part of the course. We found that there were several factors to be considered, such as how the assessment should be in line with the goals of the course and with the teaching method. One piece of the assessment is a major project and we dis
Modelsfor estimation of structural properties of glued laminated timber (glulam) aregenerally based on the relationship between properties of the individuallaminations and the properties of the glulam. In this investigation, a recentlypresented machine strength grading method based on laser scanning of fibredirection fields was applied for determination of axial modulus of elasticity(MOE) profi
ERP systems became popular with large organizations in the 1990s. In the 21st Century, these products were expanded by addition of supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as access through the Web, creating the ERP II concept. Efforts to increase the market led vendors to serve not only large organizations, but also focus more on small-to-medium sized ente
In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of biosensors based on SU-8 cantilevers with a thickness ≤ 5μm. The processing of the polymer was optimized to reduce initial bending of the devices which is essential for optical read-out of the cantilever deflection. Solvent absorption in the SU-8 had to be minimized to reduce drift of the cantilever bending during measurements in liquid. The
