In this paper we describe a complete Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, reader
and tag, using the approach of software defined radio (SDR). We use the open source GNU …

With the increment in data rates and new wireless services, the necessity for more radio
frequency (RF) bandwidth for data transmission increases. Frequency spectrum is a scarce …

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment
for patients affected by Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). Reported HSCT outcomes have …

This paper proposes to use a statistical approach for classifying the contamination level of
insulators used in high voltage transmission lines. This studied case considers the voltage …

West African Sahel is one of the most exposed areas to the adverse effects of climate variability.
All the agricultural production systems are affected, exposing local populations to food …

Cryptographic keys based on biometrics, besides offering information security and privacy,
have the advantage of being strongly linked to the user. Three main techniques use biometric …

The authors present and demonstrate an efficient method to estimate the bit error rate (BER)
of turbo codes via a truncated importance sampling (TIS). The TIS method is based on the …

When estimating the bit error rate (BER) of communications systems using Monte Carlo (MC)
simulation, importance sampling (IS) may be a powerful method for reducing simulation …

Neotropical freshwater fishes (NFFs) constitute the most diverse continental vertebrate
fauna on Earth, with more than 6,200 named species compressed into an aquatic footprint <0.5% …

This paper proposes to use a statistical approach for classifying the contamination level of
insulators used in high voltage transmission lines. This studied case considers the voltage …
