Iterated MIDO space-time code constructions by Markin, Nadya, Oggier, Frederique

“…We consider the problem of designing codes for multiple antenna channels, with 4 transmit antennas and two receive antennas, using as code design full diversity and fast decodability. We present an iterated construction, which allows us to start with any algebraic 2 × 2 space-time code, and map it to a 4 × 4 MIDO code, for which a criterion for full diversity is available. …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 96

“…This reflects the GCC states’ continuing pivotal role on global energy markets as a key centre of world energy supply. The fast-track economic growth and development experienced by the GCC economies since the mid-20th century in particular, however, has also left its toll on the region’s energy profile. …”

A dynamical analysis of the alignment mechanism between two interacting cells by Leech, V, Dalwadi, M, Manhart, A

“…We find that the two cells initially move apart to avoid overlap over a fast timescale, and then the presence of self-propulsion causes them to move towards a configuration of perfect alignment over a much slower timescale. …”
