Coordinated Multiuser Communications provides for the first time a unified treatment of multiuser detection and multiuser decoding in a single volume. Many communications systems, such as cellular mobile radio and wireless local area networks, are subject to multiple-access interference, caused by a multitude of users sharing a common transmission medium. The performance of receiver systems in such cases can be greatly improved by the application of joint detection and decoding methods. Multiuser detection and decoding not only improve system reliability and capacity, they also simplify the problem of resource allocation. Coordinated Multiuser Communications provides the reader with tools for the design and analysis of joint detection and joint decoding methods. These methods are developed within a unified framework of linear multiple-access channels, which includes code-division multiple-access, multiple antenna channels and orthogonal frequency division multiple access. Emphasis is placed on practical implementation aspects and modern iterative processing techniques for systems both with, and without integrated error control coding. Focusing on the theory and practice of unifying accessing and transmission aspects of communications, this book is a valuable reference for students, researchers and practicing engineers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications, MACOM 2011, held in Trento, Italy, in September 2011. The 21 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 40 submissions. They are divided in topical sections on cognitive radio; MAC protocols; communications theory; special session on MAC protocols for WSNs; system analysis and scheduling; and queuing systems.

Examination Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Amerikanistik), course: Abschlussarbeit 1. Staatsexamen, language: English, comment: Die Arbeit wurde nach Bewertung nochmals uberarbeitet., abstract: It is a valid question whether an animated cartoon can be subject to a dissertation or not. It is important that it consistently comprises of satirical jokes as well as having the aspiration of teaching its viewers something; it has to make them think. A cartoon does not necessarily only have to be entertainment, neither requesting critical review nor treatment. Matt Groening describes Futurama like this: "It's about a pizza delivery boy named Fry who, on New Year's Eve 1999, gets inadvertently frozen in a cryogenics lab and wakes up 1,000 years later. The themes: If you are a loser, is it possible to reinvent yourself? How do you deal with the desire for youth, for the return of dead loved ones, and what does it mean to be finite in the universe? Boy, is this too pretentious or what?" ...] The idea of projecting problems of the present into the future has its genesis in Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward 2000-18875. Unlike famous dystopias like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, George Orwell's 1984, H.G. Wells' Time Machine, or Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Looking Backward draws a positive picture of the future in order to encourage his coevals to work towards the society he depicts. In contrast to that, dystopias use current events, like technological breakthroughs or political changes, consider a possible development and present a worst case scenario, which needs to be avoided. In the next two chapters it will be discussed whether Futurama stands in a dystopian tradition and in how far allusions to possible literary and other archetypes are important.

Scholary Paper aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Theologie - Sonstiges, Note: A, University of Glasgow, Veranstaltung: Religion and Literature, 10 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Anmerkungen: Die Arbeit wurde im Rahmen meines Auslandssemesters in Theologie geschrieben und von meinem Schottischen Dozenten mit A bewertet und in Deutschland von meinem Englisch-Prof als ANGLISTIK-LITERATUR HAUPTSEMINAR Schein anerkannt und mit 1,7 bewertet., Abstract: Douglas Adams says about himself that he is not just a confessing atheist, but rather a radical atheist. This attitude leads us to the task of this seminar paper. It will examine some of the theological and philosophical elements, which appear in the text, and how the author's personal confession influenced their use. Furthermore, as a result, we will see in how far this piece of literature can be regarded as serious criticism of religion.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Englische Philologie), course: Paranoia in American Literature and Culture, 19 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: On September 11th 2001 the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, destroying the World Trade Center, heavily damaging the Pentagon, and killing almost 3.000 people, shocked the world and had a lasting effect on national and international politics of the United States. In short time, thousands of websites appeared on the internet and are still online, each offering its own truth about what had happened: Some claim having seen Satan himself in the flames and the smoke that rose from the burning twin towers, saying that the attack was just the beginning of the end of the world. Others use anti-Semitist sentiments and report about a Jewish plot following Zionist ideology. Again others blame the US-government for not preventing or even carrying out the attacks in order to justify their later wars on the Taliban regime and on Iraq. Some even talk about the involvement of an alien race. This seminar paper will begin by providing a theoretical background on conspiracy theories and suppose a thesis how those theories influence people and seduce them to believe. Rhetorical features will be taken into account as well as psychological features. After the outlining of the theoretical background, an overview of several conspiracy theories, connected with the events of September 11th 2001, will be given. Each theory will be individually discussed and examined in regard of its use of language and how historical facts and findings are mixed up with cliches and biased subjective opinions of the authors. In the end there will possibly be a common scheme to identify of how the writers and publishers of such theories succeed in winning so many supporters.

Unterrichtsentwurf aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Theologie - Religion als Schulfach, Note: 2,0, Veranstaltung: Lehrprobe fur das 2. Staatsexamen, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Grundkurs 12 Thema Ethik, Werte, Normen, Abstract: Es gibt nichts Gutes, ausser man tut es," sagte einst Erich Kastner und lieferte Klaus Zumwinkel, dem inzwischen wegen dem Vorwurf der Steuerhinterziehung zuruckgetretenen Vorstandsvorsitzenden der Deutschen Post AG, einen Leitsatz, den dieser im Lichte der Offentlichkeit auch einhielt. Seine Erfolge brachten ihm im Jahr 2000 den Bambi und 2001 das grosse Bundesverdienstkreuz ein. Er wurde Manager des Jahres 2003 und im Herbst 2007 mit dem Landesverdienstorden von Nordrhein-Westfahlen ausgezeichnet, da er die Wirtschaft des] Landes nachhaltig gepragt" und aus einem defizitaren, schwerfalligen Postdienst im Staatsmonopol ...] einen hochst rentablen, internationalen Konzern entwickelt" habe. Alles in allem ein Vorzeigeexemplar der bisweilen so gescholtenen Kaste der Manager; eine Seltenheit in Zeiten von Bestechungsaffaren, der Debatte um astronomische Managergehalter und Abfindungen und Affaren wie der um Peter Hartz und den VW-Betriebsrats - und jetzt: die Steueraffare um Hinterziehungen hoher Summen mit Hilfe Lichtensteiner Banke

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Theologie - Religion als Schulfach, Note: 1,7, Veranstaltung: Referendariat, 22 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit Beginn der 90er Jahre geht die Anzahl der Kirchenaustritte in Deutschland zwar stetig zuruck, dennoch kampfen die Volkskirchen mit dem Schwinden ihrer Anhanger; die Verbliebenen sind vorwiegend altere Menschen. Leere Kirchen und zu wenig Priester scheinen von einer spirituellen Krise des deutschen Christentums zu zeugen, die sich auch zur okonomischen Krise der Bistumer auswachst: Gemeinden werden zusammengelegt, Immobilien verkauft und Unternehmensberatungen konsultiert. Doch wahrend die Volkskirchen schrumpfen und uberaltern, erlebt Deutschland einen religiosen Boom, eine christliche Renaissance, die an ihnen vorbei zu gehen scheint. Alternative Glaubensgemeinschaften, v.a. Freikirchen, verzeichnen einen hohen Zulauf, insbesondere an jungen Menschen. Evangelikale Auferweckungsbewegungen, die in Deutschland mehr und mehr Fuss fassen, zeugen von einer Amerikanisierung der Spiritualitat und Religiositat. Historisch gesehen kommen mit dem erwecklichen Christentum] die einst aus Europa verdrangten spiritualistischen und wiedertauferischen" Stromungen zuruck." Doch weshalb sind sie so erfolgreich

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Theologie - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz, Veranstaltung: Lob ihn mit Abrahams Samen: Das AT im Kirchenlied, 5 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Die Arbeit ist in erster Linie eine musikwissenschaftliche Untersuchung von Hossenbergs Jonapsalm aber auch eine theologische Gegenuberstellung der biblischen Figuren Jona und Jesus und ihrer Schicksale., Abstract: In seinem Opus 133 fur gemischten Chor, Gemeindegesang und Orgel von 1988 verband der Komponist Kurt Hessenberg den Psalm des Jona und den Kirchenchoral Nr. 213 Christ ist erstanden. Die Verbindung dieser beiden Themen in einem Musikstuck setzt gewisse Gemeinsamkeiten voraus, die diese musikalische Verschmelzung moglich machen und auch rechtfertigen mussen. Diese Arbeit wird sich zunachst damit beschaftigen, welcher Art diese Gemeinsamkeiten sind und wo sie ausserhalb der Musik zuvor erwahnt und vielleicht schon kunstlerisch verarbeitet wurden. Weiterhin wird chronologisch untersucht werden, welche Ereignisse des Buches Jona uberhaupt Entsprechungen im Leben Jesu finden und erst spater, inwiefern diese Parallelen in Hessenbergs Komposition wiederzufinden sind und wie sie in der Musik realisiert wurden
