Rock fall hazard assessment and hazard mapping are essential for the risk management of vulnerable areas. This paper analyses some issues concerning fragmental rock fall hazard mapping methodologies. Two Swiss approaches based on rock fall trajectory simul ...
In this paper, wearable antennas in close proximity of a human body are considered, focusing on portions of the frequency range between 200 MHz and 2700 MHz. In specific, non-patch type antennas with multi-band operation, light weight, easy integration wit ...

verlapping multipath propagation is one of the main sources of mobile-positioning errors, especially in fast channel fading situations. In this paper we present a technique for detecting the existence of overlapping fading multipath components. Such inform ...
We report on an application of a pulsed distributed feedback quantum cascade laser (QCL) for an open path data transmission. A pulse QCL in the 1046 cm(-1) range (28.7 THz) is used as a carrier signal source. The QCL is modulated with 50 ns pulses at repet ...

The Internet of Things, emerging pervasive and sensor networks are low data-rate wireless networks with, a priori, no specific topology and no fixed infrastructure. Their primary requirements are twofold: First, low power consumption and, due to environmen ...
In this paper, we propose a theoretical model for the error propagation phenomenon generated by a frame loss in a distributed video coding framework. Using rate-distortion functions, we analyze the impact of a frame loss on the average distortion of a grou ...
We present and review several aspects of incoherent optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA), focusing on the flexible bandwidth allocation and its potential for future optical networks. We briefly present the various OCDMA approaches, coherent and in ...
Whereas lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LITMP) abstrs. a proton exclusively from the 4-position of 3-bromobenzotrifluoride, the same base attacks selectively the 2-position when employed in the presence of N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamin ...
This work is dedicated to developing algebraic methods for channel coding. Its goal is to show that in different contexts, namely single-antenna Rayleigh fading channels, coherent and non-coherent MIMO channels, algebraic techniques can provide useful tool ...
We apply heterodyne scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) to observe with subwavelength resolution the amplitude and phase of optical fields propagating in several microfabricated waveguide devices operating around the 1.55 mu m wavelength. Good ag ...
