Broadband services require data rates that can only be achieved by using relatively high spectrum frequencies. At such high frequencies, the DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) signal is more susceptible to external noise sources, such as radio frequency interference and impulsive noise. This paper aims to characterize how the impulsive noise impacts on services and applications for a broadband system u

This dissertation examines the role of modernism and modernity in Chinese spoken drama and film during the years between the May Fourth Movement and the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War. This influence is traced through close readings of a selection of works in different categories, underlining relevant themes and structures that are recurring in both drama and film.

In most real world systems, objects vastly out- numbers threads. This paper shows how this characteristic can be used to implement eficient JavaTMmonitors in a way that reduces the num- ber of needed monitors to be equal to the number of threads, while fulfilling the Java™synchronized semantics. Some additional benefits related to prior- ity inheritance and hierarchical resource locking will also

The erection of roadside memorials in Sweden is commonly considered a novel practice, appearing during the last 10-15 years. Nevertheless similar precedent practices can be found in the history of Sweden. Stories about marking the site of an unexpected death with a cross could be said to date back to the eleventh century legend of Saint Sigfrid, telling of the first English missionary to spread C

Allt sedan kommissionens gryningsräd mot AstraZeneca år 2000 har jag följt behandlingen av bolagets numera fastslagna marknadsmissbruk. Det genomgående temat har varit om myndigheterna gett AstraZenecas invändningar en rimlig behandling. Har den relevanta marknaden avgränsats på ett korrekt sätt när AZ:s dominerande ställning fastställts? Är undanhållandet av information i ett patentmål och återka

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been shown to be involved in the control of several neuroendocrine functions. Moreover, in animal models, NPY produces behavioral effects that are similar to those induced by anxiolytics. We studied NPY-like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in two primary degenerative dementias, Alzheimer disease (AD, n = 34) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 22)

A 0.18 mum 1.8 V CMOS transmitter for 10/100Mbps Ethernet physical layer standards is described in this paper. The circuit is substantively a current-steering digital-to-analog converter with 5-bit resolution, 125MHz sample rate and 4ns transition time. A novel latch circuit is designed, as well as a structure is provided to realize the accurate rise/fall time control of waveform

The analysis of evaluation in text poses significant methodological challenges, which mainly arise from the fact that: a) evaluative meanings can be expressed through an open-ended range of lexico-grammatical resources; b) they can span multiple words; c) context and co-text play a key role in determining the evaluative meaning of words or phrases; d) the interpretation of evaluation in text depen
