Achieving Large Multiplexing Gain in Distributed Antenna Systems via Cooperation with pCell Technology

In this paper we present pCellTM technology, the first commercial-grade wireless system that employs cooperation between distributed transceiver stations to create concurrent data links to multiple users in the same spectrum. First we analyze the per-user signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) employing a geometrical spatial channel model to define volumes in space of coherent signal around user antennas (or personal cells, i.e., pCells). Then we describe the system architecture consisting of a general-purpose-processor (GPP) based software-defined radio (SDR) wireless platform implementing a real-time LTE protocol stack to communicate with off-the-shelf LTE devices. Finally we present experimental results demonstrating up to 16 concurrent spatial channels for an aggregate average spectral efficiency of 59.3 bps/Hz in the downlink and 27.5 bps/Hz in the uplink, providing data rates of 200 Mbps downlink and 25 Mbps uplink in 5 MHz of TDD spectrum.Comment: IEEE Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, Nov. 8-11th 2015, Pacific Grove, CA, US

Microgravity and Its Applications in Geosciences

Gravity is the most important force which determines the structure and evolution of stars like the Sun as well as the structure and evolution of galaxies. The law of universal gravitation is generally sufficient to describe the gravity of the Earth, the Moon, or the planets orbiting the Sun. With the recent development of sensitive gravimeters, the gravity survey has become one of the most used geophysical tools in applied geosciences for tasks including: exploring for oil and gas fields by studying geological structures and salt dome intrusion, monitoring groundwater and geothermal reservoirs by determining recharge and discharge masses, monitoring volcanic activity and hydrothermal activity beneath volcanoes, monitoring CO2 movement during and after sequestration, locating active faults responsible for big earthquakes, and also exploring mines and detecting local cavities. In this chapter, we present a brief introduction to gravity and Bouguer gravity, the different corrections applied to measured gravity and follow with cases of applied microgravity measurements in different fields of geosciences

The Formation of Minangkabau Language Absorption Elements in Enriching the Indonesian Language

The word absorption in the Indonesian language is a word that comes from the local language and foreign language and the way of writing where there is a change in the in it or vice versa. One of the elements of the uptake of regional languages in the Indonesian language comes from Minangkabau language. The contribution of the Minangkabau language vocabulary in the Indonesian language occurs in its entirety and some adjustments. The vocabulary of the Minangkabau language in the Huge Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) is, among others, absorbed in the formation of sound changes that are easily recognized by the user community, such as phoneme changes in the word rangkik in Minangkabu language (BM) changed into the word rengkit in Indonesian language (BI) ’weary’, dunsanak (BM) becomes dansanak (BI) ’relatives’; the removal of the phoneme coga (BM) becomes cogah (BI), dia (BM) becomes diar (BI) ’let’, there is also a fully absorbed BM element, such as bacak (BM) to bacak (BI) ’freckled’ muno (BM) becomes muno (BI) ’lost memory’. The policy of the relationship between Indonesian and local languages in order to make Indonesian people can put precisely the position and function of Indonesian language and regional languages in bilingual situation.     Keywords: absorption element, Minangkabau language, Indonesian languag

Example of Disulfide Conformational Change in the Solid State: Preparation, Optical Properties, and X-ray Studies of a Cystamine-Based Iodoplombate Hybrid

A novel cystamine-based hybrid, namely, α-[NH3(CH2)2SS(CH2)2NH3PbI6]·2H3O (1a), was prepared under solvothermal conditions. Interestingly, 1a, which is built up from isolated PbI6 octahedra, can be easily changed into its polymorph, namely, β-[NH3(CH2)2S–S(CH2)2NH3PbI6]·2H3O (1b) only by heating it up to 45 °C. According to the results of X-ray diffraction analyses, the polymorphic phenomenon of 1a and 1b results from a conformational change in the helical diprotonated cystamine cation in the solid state. Both 1a and 1b crystallized in the orthorhombic Pna21 space group. The reversibility of this transformation is proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and second harmonic generation measurements

Every Part of Yeast is the Best Part

Yeasts are single-cell, eukaryotic microorganisms classified in the fungi kingdom. They are generally around 10μm in size, have a nuclear membrane, a cell wall, and a cytoplasmic content. Yeasts are characterized as heterotrophs, which means they rely on organic material as sources of energy and nutrients. Not all yeasts are equal. There are about 60 genera and about 1,500 species of yeasts. Only a few are used commercially. Thanks to its exceptional fermentative capacities and nutritional properties, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the main yeast used in food, beverage and baking as well as in animal nutrition. The main types of yeasts and yeast products used in animal nutrition are live yeast probiotics, whole cell inactivated yeasts and yeast cultures, autolyzed yeasts, hydrolyzed yeasts, and yeast fractions such as yeast cell walls and yeast extracts

Les contaminants organiques à l’état de trace dans les biosolides municipaux : de la détection à l’élimination

Les contaminants organiques ainsi que la gestion des déchets générés sont des enjeux majeurs pour la sphère scientifique, politique et sociétale. Ces contaminants sont généralement retrouvés dans toutes les strates environnementales (ex. les eaux usées, les biosolides municipaux) et en faibles quantités. Malgré le nombre élevé et grandissant des recherches entreprises sur les contaminants organiques à l’état de trace, leurs comportements et leur devenir dans des matrices complexes type biosolides municipaux restent toujours à investiguer. Dans ce contexte, il devient important d’avoir une stratégie spécifique permettant la gestion et l’élimination des contaminants présents dans les biosolides municipaux. Pour répondre à cette problématique, les objectifs de cette recherche incluent le développement et la validation d’une méthode analytique par chromatographie liquide, couplé à un détecteur de masse en tandem. Ce développement permet la détection et la quantification multirésidus applicable à l’analyse des contaminants émergents dans les biosolides municipaux, mais également dans plusieurs matrices complexes environnementales. Ces méthodes ont permis l’établissement de rapports de caractérisations de deux stations d’épuration du Québec pour une meilleure vision de la charge et de la nature des contaminants d’intérêts. Le manque d’efficacité observée des procédés conventionnels des stations d’épuration, implique la mise en place d’une stratégie alternative d’élimination des contaminants ciblés notamment dans les biosolides municipaux. La voie fongique est un procédé prometteur et cette approche biotechnologique nous a permis de supporter l’efficacité des souches fongique à réduire la charge en contaminants, mais également à réduire le volume des biosolides générés et cela de manière concomitante. Cette thèse contribue à l’amélioration des connaissances concernant les contaminants organiques dans l’environnement. Elle démontre l’intérêt de mettre continuellement en place des outils aussi bien analytique que biotechnologique permettant l’étude de leurs présences et leurs comportements dans les stations d’épuration et l’environnement
