Impact and compensation of sample clock offset in I-CFDMA uplink by Dan DING, Nai-ping CHENG, Yu-rong LIAO

“…To achieve the sample clock synchronization in the interleaved code and frequency division multiple access(I-CFDMA)uplink,the I-CFDMA uplink model was established,and the disturbance of the sample clock offset(SCO)on the system model was discussed,in addition,the signal time shift,phase rotation,multi-user interference(MUI)and inter-carrier interference(ICI)caused by SCO were analyzed quantitatively.On this basis,a compensation method of multi-user SCO was proposed.For one thing,the relevant metric function was modified considering the SCO of each user; for another thing,a multi-user detection(MUD)algorithm based on harmony search was proposed.This algorithm has a higher efficiency than the commonly-used genetic algorithm(GA),as well as a performance approximate to that of optimal detection without SCO but with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <mn>64</mn></mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> computational burden.The computer simulation results validate the conclusions obtained.…”

Erythromycin effect on the intestinal microbial community of rats by E.V. Skvortsov, Rish.S. Muhammadiev, Rin.S. Muhammadiev, L.R. Valiullin

“…The research is important for the practical purposes of animal farming and veterinary medicine, because a significant increase in the abundance of pathogenic microorganisms caused by antibiotic treatment turns the intestine into a reservoir of infections resistant to antibiotics, which need to be combated efficiently. To solve this problem, both rapid and accurate methods must be elaborated for quantitative determination of the main bacteria in the intestine during the use of antibiotics, such as erythromycin. …”
