Decontamination of radioisotopes [PDF]

Reports of Practical Oncology & Radiotherapy, 2011
Contaminations with radioactive material may occur in several situations related to medicine, industry or research. Seriousness of the incident depends mainly on the radioactive element involved; usually there are no major acute health effects, but in the long term can cause malignancies, leukemia, genetic defects and teratogenic anomalies.

Blind Pilot Decontamination [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, 2014
A subspace projection to improve channel estimation in massive multi-antenna systems is proposed and analyzed. Together with power-controlled hand-off, it can mitigate the pilot contamination problem without the need for coordination among cells. The proposed method is blind in the sense that it does not require pilot data to find the appropriate ...
