This paper presents a symbol time offset estimator for coherent OFDM systems. This estimator exploits both the redundancy in the cyclic prefix and the pilot symbols used for channel estimation. The estimator is robust against frequency offsets and is suitable for use in dispersive channels. We base the estimator on the ML estimator for the AWGN channel. Simulations of an example system indicate a
The electromagnetic far field, as well as near field, originating from light interaction with a red blood cell (RBC) volume equivalent spheroid, were analyzed utilizing T-matrix theory. This method is a powerful tool which enables the influence of cell shape on the angular distribution of scattered light to be studied. General observations were that the three-dimensional shape, as well as optical
Abstract in UndeterminedMaking Blockbusters in Sweden: The Scandinavian vs. the Hollywood ApproachThe first film installment of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy, Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 2009) is most probably the single most successful Scandinavian feature ever in attracting audiences to the global box office. Paradoxically, however, it can be argued that the film
This paper presents the methodology, results and a discussion of thermal response tests (TRTs) performed on a multiple borehole ground heat exchanger. The ground heat exchanger consisted of nine 80-m deep boreholes. TRTs with durations between 48 and 260 h were performed on individual boreholes. Tests were analysed using common evaluation methods, and ground conductivity and borehole resistance va
The authors consider a binary synchronous stream cipher where a correlation has been identified between the keystream sequence and the output from one of the linear feedback shift registers (LFSR). They present a theoretical analysis of their recent algorithm for fast correlation attacks, based on the use of convolutional codes (see Advances in Cryptology - EUROCRYPT'99, Lecture Notes in Computer
Background/objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is currently diagnosed clinically using defined symptomatic diagnostic criteria. Pathological levels of CSF-biomarkers, high T-tau, P-tau and low Ab42 have been associated with AD however definition of cut off values differ. New diagnostic criteria that include the pathological CSF biomarkers have been suggested. How many AD patients in a routine cli
