1. An Enhanced Spectral Efficiency Chaos-Based Symbolic Dynamics Transceiver Design

Author

Subjects

Abstract

Chaotic synchronization performs poorly in noisy environments, with the main drawback being that the coherent receiver cannot be implemented in realistic communication channels. In this paper, we focus our study on a promising communication system based on chaotic symbolic dynamics. Such modulation shows a high synchronization quality, without the need for a complex chaotic synchronization mechanism. Our study mainly concerns an improvement of the bandwidth efficiency of the chaotic modulator. A new chaotic map is proposed to achieve this goal, and a receiver based on the maximum likelihood algorithm is designed to estimate the transmitted symbols. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed and discussed., Comment: 6 pages, 7 figues, accepted in International Conference on. Signal Processing and Communication Systems

Abstract

Pyrolysis-field ionization mass spectrometry (Py-FIMS) was used to analyze organic matter formed by the composting of cow manure. Analyses were done on samples withdrawn during the four characteristic phases (mesophilic, thermophilic, cooling, and maturation) of the composting process. The organic components that were identified included carbohydrates, phenols, monomeric and dimeric lignins, n-[C.sub.38] to n-[C.sub.51] n-alkyl monoesters, n-[C.sub.15] to n-[C.sub.34] fatty acids, sterols, and heterocyclic N. Sterols of animal and plant origins were detected in relatively large amounts. Among the heterocyclic N forms, indole predominated. During the thermophilic phase, carbohydrates and n-fatty acids increased. During the cooling phase, concentrations of carbohydrates increased, while dimeric lignins degraded to monomeric lignins and complex plant waxes to n-fatty acids. The maturation phase was characterized by decreases in concentrations of all identifiable components, indicating the formation of chemically more complex structures.

Abstract

If organizational structure follows form, the organization that learns well functions well. More precisely, the organization that enables knowledge to flow and be shared at all levels is the organization that performs best. This author describes why learning organizations have the capability to read the market and innovate in ways that lead to success., Harris Corporation, the largest supplier of microwave communications equipment in North America, decided to enter the emerging Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) market in 1999, a few years before WiMAX became [...]
