MULTISAMPLING RECEIVERS FOR UNCODED AND CODED PSK SIGNAL SEQUENCES TRANSMITTED OVER RAYLEIGH FREQUENCY-FLAT FADING CHANNELS
No full textAn algorithm, based on previous work [Vitetta and Taylor 1994, 1995], for the detection of coded and uncoded PSK sequences transmitted on a frequency-flat fading channel is investigated. It is based on the Viterbi algorithm and processes more than one signal sample per signaling interval. Its performance is evaluated by means of computer simulations for both uncoded and coded systems

Maximum likelihood detection of differentially encoded PSK signals transmitted over Rayleigh frequency-flat fading channels
No full textThe problem of maximum likelihood (ML) detection of differentially encoded M-PSK signals on Rayleigh fading channels is investigated. It is shown that the solution to this problem can be easily related to previous results [Vitetta and Taylor, 1994] and leads to the implementation of a receiver structure based on a Viterbi Algorithm. The error rate performance of this receiver is evaluated by means of computer simulations for both coded and uncoded systems
Viterbi decoding of differentially encoded PSK signals transmitted over Rayleigh frequency-flat fading channels
No full textMaximum Likelihood (bit) detection of differentially encoded M-PSK signals on Rayleigh fading channels is investigated. It is shown that the solution to this problem can be related to previous results [Vitetta and Taylor, 1994] and leads to the implementation of a receiver structure based on the Viterbi algorithm and employing per-survivor processing. The error rate performance of this receiver is evaluated by means of computer simulations for both trellis-coded and uncoded systems
Dartevellopora Gordon & Taylor, 2010, nom. nov.
No full textDartevellopora nom. nov. Type species. Dartevellia cylindrica Borg, 1944. Remarks. Dartevellia Borg, 1944 is a homonym of Dartevellia Brian, 1939 (Copepoda). We here propose Dartevellopora nom. nov. to replace it. This name preserves Borg’s intent to honour the Belgian scientist Edmond Dartevelle, 1907–56, Curator of Molluscs at the then Musée Royale du Congo Belge in Tervuren, who published some papers on fossil Bryozoa. The suffix -opora is commonly used for stenolaemate bryozoans.Published as part of Gordon, Dennis P. & Taylor, Paul D., 2010, New seamount- and ridge-associated cyclostome Bryozoa from New Zealand, pp. 43-68 in Zootaxa 2533 (1) on page 58, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2533.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/530353

Typical cancelli lacking, but five small pores present, one basal to each zooidal aperture. Peristomes relatively thick-walled, with up to five short, blunt processes; all exterior surfaces of zooidal disc relatively coarsely granular. Brood chamber small, oval, its granular surface merging into that of the peristomes that surround it, the ooeciostome circular, smooth with a thin rim.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> This species is so far known only from the type locality, which yielded a single fertile colony. It is unquestionably the smallest cyclostome species known ― in fact the smallest calcified bryozoan known ― and the entire colony could easily fit inside an individual zooid of most cheilostome species; its individual zooids are smaller than the mature zooids of the interstitial ctenostome bryozoan <i>Monobryozoon ambulans</i> (see Hayward 1985) which has minute colonies with only one autozooid.</p> <p> The generic attribution is uncertain. The zooids of <i>D. minutissima</i> closely resemble those of <i>D. minicamera</i> but the smooth basal pedestal is lacking in this species. The pedestal, which is exterior-walled, may be homologous with the conical peduncle of the Cretaceous–Miocene genus <i>Lichenopora</i> (Gordon & Taylor 1997). The ooeciostome of <i>D. minutissima</i> is round, quite unlike the broad transverse opening in <i>D. minicamera</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Gordon, Dennis P. & Taylor, Paul D., 2010, New seamount- and ridge-associated cyclostome Bryozoa from New Zealand, pp. 43-68 in Zootaxa 2533 (1)</i> on page 63, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2533.1.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5303533">http://zenodo.org/record/5303533</a>

Ehrhardina Martha and Taylor 2016
No full textGenus Ehrhardina Martha and Taylor, 2016 (Figure 8) Type species Ehrhardina voigti Martha and Taylor, 2016, by original designation. Cretaceous, early Cenomanian, Devon, England, United Kingdom. Diagnosis Colony encrusting, multilamellar; pore chambers present. Autozooids subhexagonal; zooidal boundaries raised with a medial groove (Figure 8 (a,b)). Cryptocyst extensive, granular. Gymnocyst lacking. Opesia terminal, occupying about one-third to half of the frontal surface; semicircular with moderate to deep opesiular indentations. Ovicells hyperstomial, ooecium gymnocystal with a median suture (Figure 8 (c)). Avicularia interzooidal, symmetrical, small (Figure 8 (b)), less than half the size of an autozooid; opesia longitudinally elliptical; rostrum spatulate, floor smooth. Remarks Martha and Taylor (2016) introduced this genus for two new early Cenomanian species, the type species, E. voigti, from Devon in the United Kingdom, and E. pikeae Martha and Taylor, 2016, from North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany. Key features of the type species are the gymnocystal ooecium which contrasts with the cryptocyst-like ooecia seen in most other onychocellid genera that have non-immersed ovicells. Having an exteriorwalled ooecium can be interpreted as a primitive condition, possibly inherited from an ancestral form resembling Wilbertopora Cheetham, 1954 (see Ostrovsky 2013). Intact ovicells have not been seen in E. pikeae but autozooidal morphology is very similar to the type species. The avicularia in E. pikeae, however, are larger and have folds of gymnocyst over their opesiae. Range Cretaceous (early Cenomanian).Published as part of Taylor, Paul D., Martha, Silviu O. & Gordon, Dennis P., 2018, Synopsis of ' onychocellid' cheilostome bryozoan genera, pp. 1657-1721 in Journal of Natural History (J.
