Optimized Bit Mappings for Spatially Coupled LDPC Codes over Parallel Binary Erasure Channels

, 2013
In many practical communication systems, one binary encoder/decoder pair is used to communicate over a set of parallel channels. Examples of this setup include multi-carrier transmission, rate-compatible puncturing of turbo-like codes, and bit ...

Knowledge synthesis: Animal health and welfare in organic pig production - Final Report COREPIG [PDF]

, 2011
This report reviews the available information on the welfare of pigs when maintained according to organic standards in Europe. It begins by overviewing the populations of organic pigs in different countries at the time of writing (2007), the organic ...

Tail lesions in fattening pigs: relationships with postmortem meat inspection and influence of a tail biting management tool.

Animal, 2019
Tail biting is a major welfare and economic problem in intensive pig production. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine tail lesion prevalence at a German abattoir, (2) test for associations between meat inspection findings and tail lesions, (

Bite-o-Mat: a device for the early detection of tail biting in pigs

Smart Agricultural Technology
Tail biting in pigs impairs animal welfare and causes economic losses. Detecting early indicators of tail biting would allow farmers to implement intervention measures and minimize negative consequences.

Low Complexity Tail-Biting Trellises for Some Extremal Self-Dual Codes

, 2002
International audienceWe obtain low complexity tail-biting trellises for some extremal self-dual codes for various lengths and fields such as the [12,6,6] ternary Golay code and a [24,12,8] Hermitian self-dual code over GF(4).

Longitudinal Study: Swine Inflammation and Necrosis Syndrome in Suckling and Weaned Piglets Is Associated with Tail Length and Integrity in Slaughter Pigs

Animals
Swine Inflammation and Necrosis Syndrome (SINS) is a highly prevalent, predominantly endogenous condition that compromises tissue integrity and animal welfare across different life stages in pigs. Increasing evidence suggests that early-life SINS lesions

The performance of farm animal assessment

, 2011
This paper argues that the current drive towards greater use of animal-based measures for welfare assessment raises important issues for how farm visits by welfare assessors are performed.

Two-Dimensional Tail-Biting Convolutional Codes

, 2011
The multidimensional convolutional codes are an extension of the notion of convolutional codes (CCs) to several dimensions of time. This paper explores the class of two-dimensional convolutional codes (2D CCs) and 2D tail-biting convolutional codes (2D TBCCs), in particular, from several aspects.

Short Block-length Codes for Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications

, 2018
This paper reviews the state of the art channel coding techniques for ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC). The stringent requirements of URLLC services, such as ultra-high reliability and low latency, have made it the most challenging ...
