Codes for Noisy Channels with unknown offset

Storage systems, such as Flash memories, suffer, apart from the always present<br/>noise, also from offset. The presence of this noise can decrease the performance<br/>of a decoder using the Euclidean distance significantly. To negate the effects of<br/>offset, a new distance, the modied Euclidean distance, was introduced, which<br/>offers...

Evaluating cooperation policies for rail utilization in the port to hinterland freight transport system: A combined method approach

As the margins for improvements in the current freight transport system become limited, researchers address more and more the importance of collaboration between the actors which is crucial for the implementation of new, more efficient transport concepts as synchromodality. In addition, rail is concerned as a sustainable mode of transport that...
