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

“…For the case of MIMO PLC channels, we describe three different MIMO schemes to allow more control over the UEP levels. The three schemes are namely: maximum ratio combiner (MRC) receive diversity, Alamouti space-time block code, and a new structure for a space-time code that allows for unequal error protection at the symbol level. …”

Measuring cross-section data for prompt gammas emitted during proton-nucleus collisions by Ramanathan, Vijitha

“…In Radiation Oncology, proton therapy has become an increasingly popular treatment modality due to the superior dose distribution of the proton beam while sparing more surrounding normal healthy tissues and critical organs. …”

The effects of subsidized housing on the property values of neighbourhoods within its vicinity by Malgas, Shannon M

“…Opposition has grown since implementation of the Housing Code of 2009. The Code aims to integrate low income households into more affluent areas, in order to provide these households with greater access to economic and social opportunities, which they were previously denied having been placed on the urban periphery. …”

Universe phenomenology as understood from gravitational theories with non-vanishing torsion: cosmology and black holes by Beckering Vinckers, Ulrich Karoo

“…We then consider the case of a vacuum in spherical symmetry and construct a 1-dimensional code to evolve the system numerically. We leave the inclusion of torsion into this code as the subject for future work.…”

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. …”
