What in the world is global health? A conceptual analysis by Giubilini, A

“…Within public health, the concept of the ‘public’ has been widely investigated. However, “global health” has been introduced in academic, policy, and public discussion with comparably lower level of conceptual, philosophical scrutiny. …”

Multi-carrier M-ary DCSK system with code index modulation : an efficient solution for chaotic communications by Cai, Guofa, Fang, Yi, Wen, Jinming, Mumtaz, Shahid, Song, Yang, Frascolla, Valerio

“…The analytical bit-error-rate (BER) expressions of the proposed CIMMC-M-DCSK system are derived over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) as well as multipath Rayleigh fading channels. …”

Design of slender concrete column using chinese design code GB50010-2010 by Chen, Qiaofen

“…Data analyses reveal that loading capacity of slender column decreases with the increase of e/h, and the reduction of strength tends to be lesser for higher e/h; slender column tends to have less loading capacity with the increase of L/h, and the reduction of strength is lesser for high L/h; slender concrete column can be strengthened by installing more reinforcements, i.e. higher percentage of reinforcement; last but not least, use of higher strength concrete and steel result in a stronger slender concrete column. …”

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. …”

Mitigating the impact of node mobility using mobile backbone for heterogeneous MANETs by Xia, Yang, Yeo, Chai Kiat

“…It is observed that as the mobility of nodes increases, the performance of existing cluster based routing protocols tends to deteriorate rapidly. Although many mobility based clustering schemes have been proposed to address this problem, majority of these proposals assume the movement of nodes follows group mobility. …”
