In this paper, we investigate the performance of a single-relay cooperative wireless communication system with implementation of Orthogonal Frequency division multiplexing technique under Amplifyand-Forward (AAF) and Decode-and-Forward (DAF) relaying protocols on color image transmission.
The system under investigation incorporates four conventional signal combining schemes such as Equal Ratio Combining (ERC) and Fixed Ratio Combining (FRC), Signal to Noise Ratio Combining (SNRC) and Enhanced Signal to Noise Ratio Combining (ESNRC) under BPSK and QPSK digital modulations. In the present study, results of BER simulation in AWGN and Raleigh fading channels shows that the system outperforms in ERC combining scheme as compared to others (FRC, SNRC and ESNRC) under BPSK digital modulation and AAF relaying protocol. It is observed that a quite
Total hip arthroplasty or THA is a surgical procedure for the relief of significant disabling pain caused by osteoarthritis or hip fracture. Knowledge of the 3D kinematics of the hip during specific functional activities is important for THA component design. In this paper we compare kinematic measurements obtained by a new 2D-3D registration algorithm with measurements provided by the gold standard roentgen stereo analysis (RSA). The study validates a promising method for investigating the kinematics of some pathologies, which involves fitting three dimensional patient specific 3D CT scans to dynamic fluoroscopic images of the hip during functional activities. This is the first study in which single plane fluoroscopy has been used for kinematic measurements of natural hip bones. The main focus of the study is on the out-of-plane translation and rotation movements which are difficult to measure precisely using a single plane approach. From our experimental results we found that the precision of our proposed approach compares favourably with that of the most recent dual plane fluoroscopy approach.
