The static and fatigue behavior of low profile precast concrete sleepers by Goodhead, Andrew H

“…The fatigue tests were conducted by following the procedure specified in the Australian railway code (AS 1084.14-2012). The usefulness of the Australian code fatigue test was brought into question as the fatigue life of Low Profile sleepers far exceeded the 3 million load cycle specified by the code. …”

SdrLift: A Domain-Specific Intermediate Hardware Synthesis Framework for Prototyping Software-Defined Radios by Tsoeunyane, Lekhobola Joachim

“…Gateware for programming FPGAs is described at a lowlevel of design abstraction using Register Transfer Language (RTL), typically using either VHSIC-HDL (VHDL) or Verilog code. In practice, the low-level description languages have a very steep learning curve, provide low productivity for hardware designers and lack readily available open-source library support for fundamental designs, and consequently limit the design to only hardware experts. …”

Unequal error protection for power line communications over impulsive noise channels by Ali, Osama Senam Mostafa

“…Power line communications suffer from the excessive power lines' impulsive noise (which can be caused by shedding loads on and off). In this thesis, we present a study of power line communications with unequal error protection for two and four data priority levels hierarchical QAM modulation and space-time block coding. …”
