Joint-Detection and Interference Cancellation Based Burst-by-Burst Adaptive CDMA Schemes
No full textSpread adaptive quadrature amplitude modulated (AQAM) code-division multiple access (CDMA) is proposed as a powerful means of exploiting the time-variant channel capacity fluctuations of wireless channels. It is studied in comparison to variable spreading factor (VSF)-based techniques. These adaptive-rate transmission methods are compared in the context of joint detection and interference cancellation assisted adaptive CDMA (ACDMA) systems. More explicitly, we exploit the time-variant channel quality of mobile channels by switching either the modulation mode (AQAM) or the spreading factor (VSF) on a burst-by-burst basis. The most appropriate modulation mode or spreading factor is chosen based on the instantaneous channel quality estimated. The chosen modem mode or spreading factor is communicated to the remote communicator either through explicit signalling or extracted at the receiver using blind detection techniques. The multiuser joint detector (JD) and the successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver are compared in the context of these adaptive schemes, with the conclusion that the JD outperformed the SIC receiver in the ACDMA schemes at the cost of increased complexity. Finally, the performance of the uncoded AQAM JD-CDMA scheme is also compared to that of adaptive trellis coded modulation (TCM) assisted AQAM JD-CDMA, which allows us to incorporate adaptive channel coding without any bandwidth expansion.We also show that in the particular scenario studied, adaptiveTCM outperformed adaptive turbo TCM since the system was designed for maintaining a low turbo-interleaver delay. Index Terms—Burst-by-burst adaptive code-division multiple access (CDMA), joint detection CDMA, parallel interference cancellation (PIC), successive interference cancellation (SIC), successive and parallel interference cancellation
Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Multiuser Detection CDMA: A Framework for Existing and Future Wireless Standards
No full textThis paper provides a broad overview of the multiuser detection literature of the past few years in a nonmathematical, easily accessible approach. The treatment is then extended to the comparative study of channel-quality controlled burst-by-burst (BbB) adaptive code division multiple access (CDMA) detection such as parallel interference cancellation, successive interference cancellation, and joint detection (JD). It is demonstrated that the best complexity versus performance tradeoff is constituted by the JD receivers. Furthermore, the BbB-adaptive variable spreading factor-based schemes considered were outperformed by the adaptive quadrature amplitude modulation-based JD-CDMA schemes investigated. For example, at a channel signal-to-noise ratio per bit value of = 14 dB the latter scheme provides an average bit per symbol (BPS) throughput of 3.39, while the former provides an average BPS throughput of only 2.83, although the complexity of the latter is lower. In conclusion, BbB-adaptive CDMA schemes provide an attractive performance versus complexity tradeoff and are amenable to employment in both existing and future generations of wireless systems. Keywords—Adaptive CMDA systems, adaptive transceivers, interference cancellation, multiuser detection

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Investigate the biological effect of DNA methylation on G-quadruplex of hTERT gene
No full textDNA甲基化修飾與DNA二級結構G-quadruplex皆被認為具有抑制基因表現的可能。但兩者之交互作用是否會調控基因表現，卻尚未有文獻證實此一現象。由於與癌症發展有極高關聯性的hTERT基因，其啟動子區域受DNA甲基化調控機制已被廣為探討，並且該區域也存在具有G-quadruplex結構等特性，故合適做為探討G-quadruplex和DNA甲基化兩者可能的交互作用是否影響轉錄因子結合調控基因表現，進而改變細胞生理功能，並深具進一步的探討其作用機制的重要性。本研究首先以QGRS Mapper (Quadruplex forming G-Rich Sequences)進行分析後hTERT基因後，發現主要受到甲基化調控的區域CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) 結合位序列會形成G-quadruplex結構，隨後以核磁共振(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR)確認此一事實。我們建構了含hTERT 啟動子區域且包含不同甲基化修飾之報導基因質體，從報導基因表現結果證實位於CTCF結合位之G-quadruplex結構，會和hTERT甲基化調控有交互影響而改變基因表現。我們也利用ChIP assay確認CTCF結合能力會因為此交互作用影響而改變。本研究證明了G-quadruplex結構和甲基化之間的互相影響會透過影響轉錄因子CTCF的結合，改變hTERT基因表現。未來也將透過相同模式探討其他已知有G-quadruplex結構且同樣會受到甲基化調控的基因，確認此現象為普遍存在並深入探討。It has been shown that gene expression will be affected by DNA methylation and secondary structures in the promoter region. However, the gene expression profile has not been addressed when the DNA methylation occurs at the G-quadruplex secondary structures. DNA methylation and G-quadruplex structures has been found in the promoter region of hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase) gene. In this study, we investigated whether the methylation of G-quadruplex will occur at the promoter region of hTERT and further modulate its gene expression level. Using QGRS Mapper (Quadruplex forming G-Rich Sequences), a G-quadruplex structure was identified on the CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) binding site of hTERT gene. NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) analysis further confirmed this possible G-quadruplex structure. Reporter plasmids were constructed under the control of different hTERT promoter region. Here we further showed that the expression of hTERT was regulated by the G-quadruplex at the CTCF binding site and DNA methylation at the G-quadruplex further modulate the gene expression.目錄
