Optical transmission systems are mainly impaired by the shot noise induced by ambient light, the transmitted optical power limitations (high path losses), the channel bandwidth limitations owing to multipath dispersion and the interference produced by artificial light sources. Several modulation and encoding schemes have been proposed for this channel and their performance has been studied and presented by several authors while neglecting the effects of the artificial light interference. The work ...

Constitutive heterochromatin makes up a substantial portion of the genome of eukaryotes and is composed mainly of satellite DNA repeating sequences in tandem. Some satellite DNAs may have been derived from transposable elements. These repetitive sequences represent a highly dynamic component of rapid evolution in genomes. Among the genus Astyanax , the As51 satellite DNA is found in species that have large distal heterochromatic blocks, which may be considered as derived from a transposable DNA element. ...

Illegal hunting is one of the major threats to vertebrate populations in tropical regions. This unsustainable practice has serious consequences not only for the target populations, but also for the dynamics and structure of tropical ecosystems. Generally, in cases of suspected illegal hunting, the only evidence available is pieces of meat, skin or bone. In these cases, species identification can only be reliably determined using molecular technologies. Here, we reported an investigative study of ...

Wi-Fi fingerprinting is widely used for indoor positioning and indoor navigation due to the ubiquity of wireless networks, high proliferation of Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices, and its reasonable positioning accuracy. The assumption is that the position can be estimated based on the received signal strength intensity from multiple wireless access points at a given point. The positioning accuracy, within a few meters, enables the use of Wi-Fi fingerprinting in many different applications. However, ...

Wi-Fi fingerprinting is a well-known technique used for indoor positioning. It relies on a pattern recognition method that compares the captured operational fingerprint with a set of previously collected reference samples (radio map) using a similarity function. The matching algorithms suffer from a scalability problem in large deployments with a huge density of fingerprints, where the number of reference samples in the radio map is prohibitively large.
