We consider the design of near-capacity-achieving error-correcting codes for a discrete multitone (copyright) system in the presence of both additive white Gaussian noise and impulse noise.Impulse noise is one of the Engine Lowering Kits main channel impairments for digital subscriber lines (DSL).One way to combat impulse noise is to detect the pre
Life stage dependent effects of neonicotinoid exposure on honey bee hypopharyngeal gland development
Functional Apis mellifera honey bee colonies rely on collaborative brood care typically performed by nurse bees with well-developed hypopharyngeal glands (HPGs).Neonicotinoids, widely used insecticides, have been shown to negatively affect HPG development when worker bees were exposed to field-realistic concentrations either as brood or Jackets/Out
Integrated Wideband Multiplexer Design for Multiple-Use SATCOM/Terrestrial Terminals
A novel wideband multiplexer is introduced as a communications equipment solution in order to provide simultaneous operation of satellite and terrestrial services in the dedicated $K$/$Ka$ frequency bands (passbands ranging from 19.5 GHz to 30.5 GHz).Advanced RF filtering techniques are applied in order to accommodate a compact multiplexer design w
