A non-iterative receiver is proposed to achieve near capacity performance on intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. There are two main ingredients in the proposed design. i) The use of a novel BCJR-DFE equalizer which ...

Large-sample data became prevalent as data acquisition became cheaper and easier. While a large sample size has theoretical advantages for many statistical methods, it presents computational challenges either in the form ...

The simulation of seafloor-steel catenary interaction and prediction of riser fatigue life required an accurate characterization of seafloor stiffness as well as realistic description of riser load-deflection (P-y) response. ...

The SN transport equation is popularly used to describe the distribution of neutrons in many applications including nuclear reactors. The topic of this research is a non-linear acceleration method for accelerating convergence ...

A nonlinear spatial multigrid algorithm was developed and explored as a technique to efficiently solve the nonlinear S2 acceleration equations for SN neutron transport calculations in 1-D slabs. Acceleration of the basic ...

Considered in the present study is the temporal and spatial theoretical description of circulation and mixing of sea water induced in an initially motionless, continuously stratified, uniformly rotating, baroclinic ocean ...

Bayes factors are increasingly used to provide evidence for hypothesis in statistical tests due to their ease of interpretation and ability to reflect evidence in favor of true null hypotheses. However, this dissertation ...

This Paper describes design, fabrication, installation and operational experience with non-metallic brush seals installed in all four GT Units, GE-made, Frame No 7, model EA, presently operating at Watson Cogeneration ...
