Radio Resource and Interference Management in Uplink MU-MIMO Systems with ZF Post-processing
(2016-08-31)This dissertation investigates cross-layer designs in spatial division multiplexing (SDM) for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmissions on the uplink. The MU systems which allow simultaneous transmissions ... -
Radiochemical and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analyses of Neoplastic Tissues
(1980-06)Radiochemical and instrumental neutron activation analysis methods coupled with high-resolution Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectrometry have been developed in this work to study the role of trace elements in some models of neoplasia, ... -
Radiographic Bone Quality Markers and Implant Migration: The Search for Patient-Specific Models of Knee Arthroplasty Longevity
(2012-08-24)The objective of this study was to examine the link between radiographic measures of bone quality and total knee implant migration as measured by radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Two uncemented total knee arthroplasty ... -
