In this paper, two semi-analytical performance prediction methods are proposed and compared for multiuser MIMO transmission over block-fading multipath channels and iterative MMSE successive interference cancellation based joint decoding. In the first method, we develop a completely analytical parameterisation of the whole turbo receiver up to the users' channel decoders. The method which follows the classical framework of extrinsic information transfer charts tracks the evolution of the average ...

The evolution toward 5G mobile networks will be characterized by an increasing number of wireless devices, increasing device and service complexity, and the requirement to access mobile services ubiquitously. Two key enablers will allow the realization of the vision of 5G: very dense deployments and centralized processing. This article discusses the challenges and requirements in the design of 5G mobile networks based on these two key enablers. It discusses how cloud technologies and flexible functionality ...

Cloud computing draws significant attention in the information technology (IT) community as it provides ubiquitous on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources with minimum management effort. It gains also more impact on the communication technology (CT) community and is currently discussed as an enabler for flexible, cost-efficient and more powerful mobile network implementations. Although centralized baseband pools are already investigated for the radio access network (RAN) ...

This paper focuses on energy efficiency aspects and related benefits of radio-access-network-as-a-service (RANaaS) implementation (using commodity hardware) as architectural evolution of LTE-advanced networks toward 5G infrastructure. RANaaS is a novel concept introduced recently, which enables the partial centralization of RAN functionalities depending on the actual needs as well as on network characteristics. In the view of future definition of 5G systems, this cloud-based design is an important ...

This paper aims to analyze the behavior of DC bipolar corona discharge in a two wires-to-plane configuration under variable humid air conditions. A circular biased probe was adapted to the plane and used to measure the ground-plane current density and electric field during the bipolar corona. The values of the electric field and the current density at the plane surface were the maximum beneath the two corona wires which decreased when moving away from them. The current-voltage characteristics followed ...

This paper aims to analyse the behavior of dc corona discharge in wire-to-plane electrostatic precipitators (ESP) depending on the pressure. Current-voltage curves are analyzed particularly. Experimental results show that discharge current is strongly affected by the pressure for a given atmospheric condition. Changing the values pressure does not only changes the property of the gas but also affects the corona onset conditions and ion mobility. The finite-element method is used to solve Poisson' ...

This paper deals with the DC monopolar corona discharge in wire-to-plane geometry under variable humid air conditions. The classical formulas of Townsend commonly used for the current–voltage characteristics were used to determine the various corona parameters for the both polarities of the corona discharge. A circular biased probe has been adapted to the plane and is used to measure the ground plane current density and electric field during the monopolar corona discharge. A new approach to the ...

Satellite imagery combined with airborne geophysical data and field observations were employed for new geologic mapping of the Edembo area in the Eastern Hoggar (Tuareg Shield, Sahara). Multi-spectral band fusion, filtering, and transformation techniques, i.e., band combination, band-rationing and principal component analysis of ETM+ and ASTER data are used for better spectral discrimination of the different rocks units. A thematic map assessed by field data and available geologic information is ...

The aim of this work is to analyze the characteristics of the corona discharge in blade-to-plane electrode configuration. An experimental investigation has been carried out on the geometric parameters that govern the formation of both positive and negative corona discharges, such as the inter-electrode distance, the blade-to-blade spacing, and the number of the discharging blades. The current-voltage characteristics, the breakdown voltage, and the Warburg current distribution were measured. The ...

A boundary of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be used in many fields, for example, to monitor a frontier or a secure place of strategic sensitive sites like oil fields or frontiers of a country. This situation is modeled as the problem of finding a polygon hull in a connected Euclidean graph, which represents a minimal set of connected boundary nodes. In this paper we propose a new algorithm called D-LPCN (Distributed Least Polar-angle Connected Node) which represents the distributed version of ...

The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological results of the Rubis II thumb carpometacarpal joint reverse prosthesis, at a mean follow-up of 10 years. Between 1997 and 2008, 253 prostheses were implanted in 199 patients; 115 were reviewed. The survival after a mean of 10 years was 89%. At the last follow-up, 70% of prostheses were painless; the others reported moderate or intermittent pain. The satisfaction rate was 98%. The mean opposition was 9 on the Kapandji scale; the mean ...

The "ball-in-socket" design of the Medial-Pivot knee system (MicroPort Orthopedics, Arlington, Tennessee, USA) aims to reproduce normal knee kinematics by medializing its rotational axis. The goal of this study was to measure knee range of motion (ROM) with this implant after a mean follow-up of 10 years and to report the survivorship and long-term clinical and radiological outcomes. We hypothesized the prosthetic knee would have at least 120° flexion at 10 years.This was retrospective, single-centre ...

Summary Background The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a substantial threat to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to its large public health and societal implications, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis has been long regarded by WHO as a global priority for investment in new drugs. In 2016, WHO was requested by member states to create a priority list of other antibiotic-resistant bacteria to support research and development of effective drugs. Methods We used a multicriteria decision analysis ...

The objective is to minimize both the total execution time (makespan) and the total energy consumed by the system. For this purpose, we introduce a constraint on the energy consumption during execution. Our goal is to provides an algorithm with a performance guarantee. Two algorithms have been proposed; the first provides an ...

This work proposes a new investigation, which deals with the potentiality of the reuse of saturated activated carbon (SAC), as an additive into cementitious materials. According to recent studies, the addition of a small amount of activated carbon can considerably increase the adsorption of harmful gases; which limits environmental pollution. However, taking into consideration the high porosity of activated carbon, which gives a large specific area, this solution may present certain disadvantages ...

Femoral stem modularity in hip replacement was first developed to connect a ceramic head to the stem, then extended to metal heads using the Morse taper principle. Is it a good thing, or a necessary evil? It contributes to improving lower limb length and lateralization setting, at the cost of fairly rare complications such as dissociation and fretting corrosion, which can exceptionally lead to ARMD (Adverse Reaction to Metal Debris). Modular necks were later recommended, with a double Morse taper: ...

In France and in the US, predictions for 2030 include an increased number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures together with an overall trend towards shorter hospital stays. Predictors of hospital length of stay (LOS) include the day of surgery, discharge destination, and patient comorbidities. Available data are conflicting, however, and to our knowledge predictors of LOS after THA or TKA have not been evaluated in France. Improved knowledge of these predictors ...

A series of pyrimidine derivatives bearing one, two or three triphenylamine/9-ethylcarbazole substituents has been synthesized by Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. All compounds showed absorption bands in the UV region and the emission of violet-blue light upon irradiation. Protonation led to quenching of the fluorescence, although some derivatives remained luminescent with the appearance of a new red-shifted band in the spectra. Accurate control of the amount of acid enabled white photoluminescence ...
