A reconfigurable digital root raised cosine (RRC) filter for a UMTS terrestrial radio access (UTRA) mobile terminal receiver is described and analysed. The filter monitors in-band and out-of-band received signal powers and calculates the appropriate filter length that meets the bit-energy to interference ratio (Eb/No). This design is advantageous, as only minimum battery power is used resulting in

Simulations can be used as a means for extension of data collec-tion from empirical studies. A simulation model is developed, based on the data from experiments, and new data is generated from the simulation model. This paper replicates an initial investigation by Münch and Armbrust, with the purpose of evaluating the generality of their approach. We replicate their study using data from two inspe

We propose a decoupled distribution paradigm for connecting large numbers of content publishers and consumers called implicit group messaging (IGM). Unlike traditional multicast or publish/subscribe messaging, IGM delivers content to "implicit groups" of consumers matching combinations of attributes specified by the publisher at the time of publication. The contributions of this paper include a ch

There is a vast global market of information and communication technologies to be used for educational purposes (ICT4E), both inside and beyond formal schooling. Both the products on offer and the large bulk of academic literature and strategic documents concerned with ICT4E tend to look at these technologies as providing simple technical solutions to complex educational problems. Moreover, the ut

A dryer fabric is used in the multi-cylinder dryer in order to improve the runnability of the web and to establish proper contact between the web and the hot cylinder, thus improving the heat transport. The dryer fabric separates the hot and moist paper from the ambient drying air and significantly influences the mass and heat transport. The fabric mass transfer resistance was determined experime

Patients with anxiety disorders automatically attend to threat-related stimuli. This is seen not only in an attentional bias for consciously available stimuli, but also in effects of subliminally exposed (i.e., masked) stimuli. The effects of treatment on cognitive biases have been examined in a variety of anxiety disorders, and the results commonly indicate that attentional biases disappear as a

The presence of grain boundaries in the microstructure of metallic materials causes heterogeneous distributions of dislocation density. In the present contribution, the evolution of dislocation density is viewed as a reaction-diffusion system, involving mobile and immobile dislocations. Gradient effects are introduced by making the immobilization of dislocations sensitive to presence of grain boun
