Effects of Saline Solutions on the Desiccation Cracking and Shrinkage Behavior of Gaomiaozi Bentonite by Long Tan, Penglin Zheng, Qingbing Liu

“…The water evaporation rate is reduced for the specimens saturated with a high-concentration saline solution, and CaCl2 has a more significant influence on water evaporation than NaCl. The evolution of cracks on the sample surface during the desiccation process can be divided into four stages: crack growth, maintenance, closure, and stabilization; an increase in the salt concentration effectively inhibits crack development. …”

A Multistage Decision-Feedback Receiver Design for LTE Uplink in Mobile Time-Variant Environments by Juinn-Horng Deng, Shu-Min Liao

“…Single-carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has recently become the preferred uplink transmission scheme in long-term evolution (LTE) systems. Similar to orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), SC-FDMA is highly sensitive to frequency offsets caused by oscillator inaccuracies and Doppler spread, which lead to intercarrier interference (ICI). …”
