(Press-News.org) NJIT's Center for Wireless Communications and Signal Processing Research showcased earlier this week the research of six doctoral students. The students' work was featured in presentations and displayed posters. The annual event gives doctoral students and their professors a chance to exchange information from a year's worth of work. The Center is located in the department of electrical and computer engineering at NJIT's Newark College of Engineering.
Six presentations focused on the field's newest technology. They were "Spatial Compressive Sensing in MIMO Radar with Random Arrays" (Marco Rossi with advisor Ying Wu Endowed Chair and Professor Alexander Haimovich); "Dependence of Functional Vulnerabilities on the Parameters of the Caspase Molecular Network" (Iman Habibi with advisor Professor Ali Abdi); "Space Frequency Coding for Optical Wireless Communications Using DQO-SCFDE" (Nan Wu with advisor Distinguished Professor Yeheskel Bar-Ness).
More presentations were: "L-shaped Vector System and Comparison with Full-Scalar System" (Chen Chen with Abdi); "Modulation Classification of MIMO-OFDM Signals by Independent Component Analysis and Support Vector Machines" (Yu Liu with Haimovich); "A New Improved-Performance Decoding Technique for Asymmetrically-Clipped Optical-OFDM" (Eyal Katz with Bar-Ness).
Established in 1985, the Center focuses on communication theory. Its main areas of research are CDMA and spread spectrum systems, multi-carrier modulation, ultra-wideband communications, MIMO systems, space-time codes and turbo-codes, information theory, and adaptive signal processing.
Center members are noted experts in this field. Recent publications include, "Spectrum Leasing via Cooperation with Multiple Primary Users," IEEE Transactons. Vehicular Technology, February, 2012 by T. Elkourdi and Osvaldo Simeone.
"Instantaneous Mutual Information and Eigen-Channels in MIMO Mobile Rayleigh Fading," Information Theory, IEEE Transactions, January, 2012 by S.Wang and Ali Abdi.
Last month, US Patent #8,130,846 "Single Carrier Space Frequency Block Coded Transmission over Frequency Selective and Fast Fading Channels," NJIT case # 07- 036, was awarded to Bar-Ness.

NEW ORLEANS – Two new studies analyzing treatment decisions in late-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients shed light onto treatments aimed to extend the duration and quality of life in this progressively debilitating neuromuscular disorder. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that waiting until the last minute to receive one treatment resulted in not living long enough to experience the benefits. In a separate study, Penn researchers uncovered polarized preferences among patients regarding the value of an ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — On the second anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform blowout, a national panel of researchers is providing new insight into what happened in the disaster, as well as a guide for how to deal with such events in the future, and why existing tools were inadequate to predict what lay before them.
The study, produced by the Gulf Oil Spill Ecotox Working Group at UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), is published in the May issue of the journal Bioscience. It is titled, "A Tale of Two Spills: ...

Analysis of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a massive detector deployed in deep ice at the U.S. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica at the geographic South Pole, recently provided new insight into one of the most enduring mysteries in physics, the production of cosmic rays.
Cosmic rays were discovered 100 years ago, but only now are scientists homing in on how the highest energy cosmic rays are produced.
Cosmic rays are electrically charged particles, such as protons, that strike Earth from all directions with energies up to one hundred million ...

The virulence of plant-borne diseases depends on not just the particular strain of a pathogen, but on where the pathogen has been before landing in its host, according to new research results.
Scientists from the University of California System and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) published the results today in the journal PLoS ONE.
The study demonstrates that the pattern of gene regulation--how a cell determines which genes it will encode into its structure and how it will encode them--rather than gene make-up alone affects ...

Approximately every 11 years the magnetic field on the sun reverses completely – the north magnetic pole switches to south, and vice versa. It's as if a bar magnet slowly lost its magnetic field and regained it in the opposite direction, so the positive side becomes the negative side. But, of course, the sun is not a simple bar magnet and the causes of the switch, not to mention the complex tracery of moving magnetic fields throughout the eleven-year cycle, are not easy to map out.
Mapping such fields, however, is a crucial part of understanding how – and, in turn, when ...
