Abstract We consider in this paper the problem of phase offset and copyright Frequency Offset (CFO) estimation for Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) coded systems.We propose new blind estimation techniques based on the calculation and minimization of functions of the Log-Likelihood Ratios (LLR) of the syndrome elements obtained according to the parit
In recent years, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been frequent, but the failure rate of M&A has remained high in reality.In order to reduce the M&A failure rate, a key step is to achieve an effective M&A matching which can help integrate enterprise resources and can make companies bigger and stronger.Given the risk o

This report describes a case of hind limb lameness associated with intra-abdominal torsion of a neoplastic testicle in a dog.An 11-year-old, male, bilaterally cryptorchid dog was referred for third degree lameness in the left hind limb.An orthopaedic and radiographic examination did not reveal any alteration in the limb, whereas transabdominal palp
This paper contrasts dual-process and personality approaches in the prediction of addictive behaviors and related risk behaviors.In dual-process models, behavior is described as the joint outcome of qualitatively different “impulsive” (or associative) and “reflective” processes.There are important individual differences rega
