Tracking- and Scintillation-Aware Channel Model for GEO Satellite to Land Mobile Terminals at Ku-Band by Ali M. Al-Saegh, A. Sali, J. S. Mandeep, Alyani Ismail

“…The effect of satellite tracking loss at different mobile terminal speeds is considered for directional mobile antenna systems, a reliable tropospheric scintillation model for an LMS scenario at tropical and temperate regions is presented, and finally a new quality indicator module for different modulation and coding schemes is included. The proposed extended LMS channel (ELMSC) model is designed based on actual experimental measurements and can be applied to narrow- and wide-band signals at different regions and at different speeds and multichannel states. …”

Blogging down a dictatorship by Last Moyo

“…I argue that this radicalism in part articulates a postmodern philosophy and style as seen in its rejection of the elaborate codes and conventions of mainstream journalism. The Internet is seen as certainly enhancing the people’s right to communicate, but only to a limited extent because of access disparities, on the one hand, and its appropriation by liberal social movements whose configuration is elitist, on the other. …”

Les territoires de l’alcool à Tunis et à Casablanca sous la période des Protectorats (1912-1956) : Des destins parallèles ? by Nessim Znaien

“…The purpose of this article is to show that both cities experienced, during the period of the Protectorate, a change in alcohol consumption practices, resulting in a larger increase in alcohol consumption and the emergence of a new public debate, exemplified by prohibitionist laws.During the interwar period, Tunis and Casablanca were, within their respective countries, the largest centers of drinking establishments, with a dramatic increase in alcohol supply. Social codes with regard to drinking (place, time and consumption sociability) retained their own logic in relation to mainland France, partly due to religious factors. …”

Professor Vanda Zaborskaitė: Why Classic? by Dalia Čiočytė

“…Vanda Zaborskaitė investigated such deep literary structures (images and their constellations) as codes of individual artistic self-awareness. In the opinion of the researcher, the pinnacles of literary art are those works which, by employing aesthetic persuasion, interpret the classical ideas of the Western world: the ideas of the absolute value of the personality, freedom, and the primate of the spirit. …”

On the Efficient Broadcasting of Heterogeneous Services over Band-Limited Channels: Unequal Power Allocation for Wavelet Packet Division Multiplexing by Maurizio Murroni

“…In wavelet packet division multiplexing (WPDM), the message signals are waveform coded onto wavelet packet basis functions. The overlapping nature of such waveforms in both time and frequency allows improving the performance over the commonly used FDM and TDM schemes, while their orthogonality properties permit to extract the message signals by a simple correlator receiver. …”
