C-Reactive Protein in the Premature Rupture of the Membranes
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2004 , Article)
Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) defined as a rupture of membranes before onset of labor, which is one of the most complications of pregnancy that leads to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. ...
Optimal power allocation for relayed transmissions over Rayleigh-fading channels
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
Relayed transmission is a way to attain broader coverage by splitting the communication link from the source to the destination into several shorter links/hops. One of the main advantages of this communication technique ...
A performance study of dual-hop transmissions with fixed gain relays
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
This letter presents a study on the end-to-end performance of dual-hop wireless communication systems equipped with nonregenerative fixed gain relays and operating over flat Rayleigh-fading channels. More specifically, it ...
Performance of OFDM with M-QAM modulation and optimal loading over rayleigh fading channels
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference)
We present optimum bit and power loading algorithms for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using an M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) scheme. Several scenarios for the amount of channel ...
Performance enhancement of relay-assisted communications via binary feedback
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference)
This paper proposes a modified two-hop wireless communication system and studies its performance. The modified system has a reliable feedback channel that carries a binary signal from the receiver to inform the transmitter ...
Precise method for linearizing sine and cosine signals in resolvers and quadrature encoders applications
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference)
Resolvers and quadrature encoders provide electrical signal related to the sine and cosine of the mechanical shaft angle over the full 360 degree range. A converter is described for the linearization of these signals, ...
A Novel Resolver-to-360° Linearized Converter
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
A novel and simple resolver-to-dc converter is presented. It is shown that by appropriate processing of the sine and cosine resolver signals, the proposed converter may produce an output voltage proportional to the shaft ...
Design and Assembly of Miniature Zirconia Oxygen Sensors
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
Zirconia oxygen sensors are highly selective solid-state devices used for many applications, including combustion control for better fuel economy and lower emissions. Stabilized zirconia electrolyte meets the device ...
VALID-2: A practical modeling, simulation and verification software for distributed systems
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference)
Distributed systems verification is one of the main issues in software engineering. It is considered as the major field of the formal specification techniques. However, many difficulties remain. In fact, the principal ...
Risk assessment of accidental spills of toxic and flammable liquids on land
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2004 , Master Thesis)
The main objective of this paper is the assessment of the environmental impact due to accidental spills of toxic and flammable liquids on land. Different case studies of possible accidents in the State of Qatar were ...
