Optimization of the Receiving Orientation Angle for Zero-Forcing Precoding in VLC [PDF]
We study the performance of linear zero-forcing (ZF) precoding in multiuser multiple-input single-output visible light communications (VLC) when we are able to select the receiving orientation angle (ROA) of each user. For radio-frequency communications, the non-line-of-sight rich scattering environment usually ensures the linear independence among ...

Quantitative outperforms visual assessment of nonparallel orientation in ultrasound breast imaging reporting and data system [PDF]
Objective The visual assessment of the “nonparallel orientation” descriptor in the ultrasound Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) is subjective and may affect both the accurate interpretation of breast masses and the overall diagnostic ...

Phase-fi eld simulation of competitive growth of grains in a binary alloy during directional solidifi cation [PDF]
Taking Al-2%mole-Cu binary alloy as an example, the infl uence of grain orientation on competitive growth of dendrites under different competitive modes was investigated by using the three-dimensional (3-D) phasefi eld method.

AN ANGLE SENSE IN THE ORIENTATION OF A MILLIPEDE
1. The millipede, Trigoniulus lumbricinus, when forced to crawl through a corridor containing an abrupt turn, tended to turn upon emergence from the corridor at an angle which was opposite and approximately equal to the angle of the forced turn.2. The response held for forced angles ranging in size up to at least 120°. For forced turns greater than 60°
