Acoustic data communication for industrial drilling applications by Goh, Cher Shin.

“…Project B5035-121, Acoustic Data Communication for Industrial Drilling Applications, looks at the possible ways of incorporating the multilevel modulation of Amplitude Shift Keying-Frequency Shift Keying (ASK-FSK) into the transceiver architecture of an acoustic telemetry system, such that the architecture embodies balance of good traits, such as high data transmission rates and good bit error rate (BER) performance. This is due to the greater need for communication systems of industrial drilling applications to have a higher throughput. …”

Iterative decoding of cyclic codes based on FFT sliding correlator by Mohammad Ridwan Septadi.

“…We successfully designed the soft-in-hard-out ML-decoding of cyclic code based on sliding correlator. BER performance results indicate that our decoder performs well as it meets the theoretical expectation by having performance curves which are slightly better than the theoretical upper bound by 0.3-0.4dB for various BCH codes. …”

What is to reproduce? On the overlap, development, and persistence account of reproduction by Palacios-González, C

“…Her account seems able to answer the question of whether reproduction takes place, and who reproduces, when we employ biotechnologies that bear little to no resemblance to naturally occurring human sexual reproduction. …”

Performance study of rotated QAM signals over Interference and fading channels by Khui, Kenneth Yi Cheng

“…Using MATLAB simulations, this project will evaluate the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance against Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) across two fading channels, namely Rayleigh and Rician fading channels, along with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). …”

Prosopanche: a remarkable genus of parasitic plants by Hatt, SA, Cameron, DD, Grace, OM, Rocamundi, N, Cocucci, AA, Martel, C, Thorogood, CJ

“…Growing almost entirely underground with a complete lack of leaves, plants of Prosopanche bear more resemblance to fungi than plants and have many remarkable aspects to their life history and ecology that require further investigation. …”

Why Brussels? Neruda’s ‘título absolutamente enigmático’ by Moran, D

“…<p>The primary purpose of this article is to propose a solution to longstanding literary mystery, namely, why Neruda&rsquo;s disconcertingly enigmatic poem &lsquo;Bruselas&rsquo; (from&nbsp;<em>Tercera residencia</em>&nbsp;[1947]) has a title which seems to bear little if any relation either to the city of Brussels itself or to its sometimes bewilderingly obscure content and imagery. …”
