Reduced-complexity transmit-beamforming codebook search algorithm
A two-stage reduced-complexity index search algorithm is proposed for finding the best vector in the codebook of quantised equal gain transmission based multiple-input multiple-output arrangements. When the number of transmit antennas is more than three, the normalised complexity is halved while maintaining the same symbol error rate as the benchmark
Consequences of Cadmium exposure on growth and reproduction across three generations of earthworm
Heavy metal pollution disturbs the soil ecosystem by negatively affecting soil fauna and flora. In term of biomass and activity Annelids are a very important part of the soil invertebrate community. They are one of the first organisms affected by heavy metal contamination in soil and as such are good model organisms for assessing soil contamination. The aim of this research is to observe how Cd impacts on health and reproduction in three consecutive generations of E. fetida. [...]falseOnlin

Phonon-mediated electron spin phase diffusion in a quantum dot
An effective spin relaxation mechanism that leads to electron spin
decoherence in a quantum dot is proposed. In contrast to the common
calculations of spin-flip transitions between the Kramers doublets, we take
into account a process of phonon-mediated fluctuation in the electron spin
precession and subsequent spin phase diffusion. Specifically, we consider
modulations in the longitudinal g-factor and hyperfine interaction induced by
the phonon-assisted transitions between the lowest electronic states. Prominent
differences in the temperature and magnetic field dependence between the
proposed mechanisms and the spin-flip transitions are expected to facilitate
its experimental verification. Numerical estimation demonstrates highly
efficient spin relaxation in typical semiconductor quantum dots.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
