An exact Pair-wise Error Probability (PEP) and the corresponding exact union bound expressions have been derived for evaluating the bit-error rate (BER) performance of Space-Time (S-T) codes, but it is shown in this paper that the computation precision of the computer program used to evaluate these expressions may produce negative results. Here a new PEP based on the Hölder inequality and the corresponding new union bound (NUB) are derived and proposed for evaluation of the BER of S-T codes in the flat Rayleigh fading channels. Analytical and numerical results show that the NUB does not have the problem of producing negative result, is tighter than other practical union bounds reported, has nearly identical accuracy as the exact union bound, and requires much less computational time for BER evaluation
A final thought. There is another dividing line in conservatism evenmore immediately relevant than that between Reformers and Traditionalists or that subdividing Reformers and Traditionalistswithin themselves. It is the line between politics and show business. The tone for conservatism in 2009 is not being set by any of thepeople discussed by Voegeli. It is being set by talk radio and FoxNews, and they are guided by very different imperatives andincentives. While politics proceeds by addition and benefits from somemeasure of creative ambiguity, modern media profit from division andintensification. Conservative entertainment excites and mobilizes millions of Americans while alienating even larger numbers. There will be no conservative comeback until politically-mindedconservatives of all descriptions find some escape from this dead end.
Among the recommendations Mark Helprin makes for the American health care system is that the United States take immediate steps to double the number of physicians trained each year, in order to reduce physicians' prices ("First, Do No Harm," Spring 2009). Mr. Helprin further asserts that other industrialized countries have on average 150% more physicians per capita than the U.S., and that worsening shortages loom.
I read Carl Schramm's "Up From Poverty" (Spring 2009) expecting at each paragraph to be reminded of the two problems that separate the developed world from the "never to be developed world," namely, nepotism and corruption. Without addressing these two problems, we can put all the money we want into "developing nations" and have no discernible effect, ever. To have even a limited effect in these countries, every dollar and decision must be watched over by an outside body. Most unsupervised aid money goes to support the worst people in each country.
In your Cairo speech [June 4, 2009] you referred to the West Bank as "occupied" by Israel. You implied that the Palestinian Arabs were being denied the sovereign rights to their homeland. But the West Bank was never a sovereign state to Palestinian Arabs. In the ancient world, Judea and Samaria belonged to what was then a sovereign Jewish state, a state from which the Jews were repeatedly driven by foreign conquerors: among them Babylonians, Romans, and Christian crusaders. However often they were driven from their ancient homeland, Jews always returned.
The following maps compare the last three years of western bean cutworm moth captures in pheromone traps throughout Indiana. Compilation of these maps would not have been possible without the help of many cooperators, thanks to their efforts in monitoring the traps and entering the data at .
This directory updates work done in the early 1990s by the Wagner Labor Archives in New York City. A survey then conducted identified "archivists, librarians, and labor union staff who are collecting manuscripts, audio-visual materials, and artifacts that document the history of the trade union movement in the United States." Similarly, this directory includes repositories with partial holdings relating to labor and workers, as well as repositories whose entire holdings pertain to labor. Known updates were made in 2002, 2010 (James Quigel, editor), 2011 (Traci Drummond, editor), 2014, 2016, 2019 (Conor Casey, editor).
