    Optimized Adaptive Huffmann Coding For Paper Reduction in OFDM Systems

    Get PDF
    The main defect of OFDM systems is its high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). To decrease PAPR, Adaptive Huffman coding is essential. Encoding is transferred by two encoding techniques Huffman coding and Adaptive Huffman coding at the transmitter side. Mapping is done by QAM 16 and PSK 16.The PAPR results of Huffman and adaptive Huffman coding with QAM 16 and PSK 16 is compared. Simulation results shows that the Adaptive Huffman coding along with QAM 16 produces fruitful results in comparison with Huffman coding and adaptive Huffman coding with PSK 16

    Analyses across all three domains of life are necessary to advance our understanding of taxonomic dysbiosis in human diseases. In the present study, we assessed gut microbiota (eubacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes) of recurrent oxalate kidney stone suffers to explore the extent of trans-domain and functional species dysbiosis inside the gut. Trans-domain taxonomic composition, active oxalate metabolizer and butyrate-producing diversity were explored by utilizing frc-, but-, and buk- functional gene amplicon analysis. Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) level analyses confound with the observation that dysbiosis in gut microbiota is not just limited to eubacteria species, but also to other domains like archaea and eukaryotes. We found that some of healthy eubacterial population retained together with Oxalobacter formigenes and Lactobacillus plantarum colonization in disease condition (p \u3c 0.001 & FDR = 0.05). Interestingly, trans-domain species diversity has been less shared and dysgenic taxa augmentation was found to be higher. Oxalate metabolizing bacterial species (OMBS) and butyrate-producing eubacteria species were found to be decreased in Oxalobacter non-colonizers; and Prevotella and Ruminococcus species which may contribute to oxalate metabolism and butyrate synthesis as well. Our study underscores fact that microbial dysbiosis is not limited to eubacteria only hence suggest the necessity of the trans-domain surveillance in metabolic diseases for intervention studies

    In this paper, we present a new approach to improve the acoustic echoes occurs in today’s telecommunication system. We show that the new approach reduces the computational complexity; unlike old approaches like a LMS, NLMS and variable step size (VSS) algorithm, converges rate and misadjustment and computational complexity are biggest challenges for us. So new approach is known as DFVSS-NLMS algorithm and suitable candidate for a real world application. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15032

    A Research to Improve Contiguous Memory Allocation in Linux Kernel

    Get PDF
    The demand for Contiguous Memory Allocation (CMA) has witnessed significant growth in both low-end and high-end devices in recent years. However, the existing practices for utilizing CMA prove insufficient, particularly when catering to the needs of low-end (32-bit) devices. CMA, a Linux program used for memory reservation and allocation, faces limitations in its current implementations. Presently, techniques such as Scatter-Gather Direct Memory Access (DMA), Input Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), and Memory Reservation are commonly employed for contiguous memory allocation. Unfortunately, these methods are financially impractical for low-end devices and struggle to efficiently allocate substantial memory chunks, leading to latency concerns. In this paper, we introduce an improved CMA approach that intelligently allocates virtual memory for data mapping as needed. Alternatively, it directly allocates and deallocates physical memory without the necessity of virtual memory mapping, employing the DMA_KERNEL_NO_MAPPING attribute within the DMA Application Programming Interface (API). By adopting this method, latency is reduced, and the facilitation of larger memory allocations is promoted, addressing the limitations of the current techniques

    Background: Doppler ultrasound provides a non-invasive method of studying the status of various blood vessels. It provides a spectrum analysis of the velocities of moving red blood cells. Doppler sonography can provide useful information in a variety of gynecological and obstetric conditions. In obstetrics, Doppler velocimetry of the uteroplacental and fetoplacental circulation can be used to further investigate complications of pregnancy such as fetal growth restriction, other forms of fetal distress that result from fetal hypoxemia or asphyxia.Methods: In a prospective observational study, 93 pregnancies fitting in the criteria for high risk were evaluated by doppler velocimetry between 28-40 weeks of gestation. The flow velocity time wave forms were examined and quantitated by use of systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio, resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI) values. The outcome of pregnancy was noted.Results: Fetuses with abnormal velocimetry are at higher risk with regard to birth weight, Apgar score, fetal distress, need of cesarean section, need of NICU admission. The patients with absent end-diastolic flow (AEDF)/reversal of end-diastolic flow (REDF) had poor perinatal outcome. Positive predictive value for small for gestational age (SGA) and fetal distress was 75% and 60% respectively. 23.8% babies needed to be kept in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Conclusions: Doppler velocimetry can be useful prenatal test for the patients of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and IUGR. Abnormal doppler waveform changes indicate adverse perinatal outcome. Appropriate and timely interventions guided by doppler study help to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality

    Emergence of Recombinant Forms of HIV: Dynamics and Scaling

    The ability to accelerate the accumulation of favorable combinations of mutations renders recombination a potent force underlying the emergence of forms of HIV that escape multi-drug therapy and specific host immune responses. We present a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of the emergence of recombinant forms of HIV following infection with diverse viral genomes. Mimicking recent in vitro experiments, we consider target cells simultaneously exposed to two distinct, homozygous viral populations and construct dynamical equations that predict the time evolution of populations of uninfected, singly infected, and doubly infected cells, and homozygous, heterozygous, and recombinant viruses. Model predictions capture several recent experimental observations quantitatively and provide insights into the role of recombination in HIV dynamics. From analyses of data from single-round infection experiments with our description of the probability with which recombination accumulates distinct mutations present on the two genomic strands in a virion, we estimate that ∼8 recombinational strand transfer events occur on average (95% confidence interval: 6–10) during reverse transcription of HIV in T cells. Model predictions of virus and cell dynamics describe the time evolution and the relative prevalence of various infected cell subpopulations following the onset of infection observed experimentally. Remarkably, model predictions are in quantitative agreement with the experimental scaling relationship that the percentage of cells infected with recombinant genomes is proportional to the percentage of cells coinfected with the two genomes employed at the onset of infection. Our model thus presents an accurate description of the influence of recombination on HIV dynamics in vitro. When distinctions between different viral genomes are ignored, our model reduces to the standard model of viral dynamics, which successfully predicts viral load changes in HIV patients undergoing therapy. Our model may thus serve as a useful framework to predict the emergence of multi-drug-resistant forms of HIV in infected individuals

    In this paper, we present an overview of the principal, structure and the application of the echo cancellation and kind of application to improve the performance of the systems. Echo is a process in which a delayed and distorted version o the original sound or voice signal is reflected back to the source. For the acoustic echo canceller much and more study are required to make the good tracking speed fast and reduce the computational complexity. Due to the increasing the processing requirement, widespread implementation had to wait for advances in LSI, VLSI echo canceller appeared. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150513

    Round Robin based Arbitration Mechanism for Signaling Approach based Router Architecture

    In Network-on-Chip the effectiveness of the network resource allocation is demonstrated by the flow control mechanism. There are two types of flow control mechanisms: buffered and bufferless. Compared to buffered flow control methods, buffer less flow control mechanisms are easier to use, need less power, and take up less space. When there are congestion and resource conflicts, it experiences higher packet loss and packet misrouting inside the network. A good buffered control mechanism useful as it overcomes the limitations of buffer less mechanism. There are numerous buffered and bufferless flow control methods available. In this paper, signaling-based Virtual Output Queue Router Arbiter Mechanism is used to explore credit-based flow control. This mechanism worked on new concept that is “stress value”. This information is generated in the form of credit whenever any input buffer has free space. Then, using this credit data, the node's stress value is determined. Free buffer space takes precedence over stress value if it is bigger. The stress value will increase if there is less available buffer space. To handle the congestion problem, the signaling block then sends this stress value to a neighboring router. To help the arbitrator make a more accurate decision, the crediting system constantly operates in tandem with arbitration
