APPLICATION OF FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION (FEC) CODES IN WIRELESS ACOUSTIC EMISSION STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING ON RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURES

Application of Forward Error Correction (FEC) Codes in Wireless Acoustic Emission Structural Health Monitoring on Railway Infrastructures

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been extensively used in the railway industry, with applications ranging from railway infrastructures to carbody shells.An SHM method that dominates monitoring procedures is Acoustic Emissions (AE).The utilisation of the AE method could use a significantly large amount of data, collected and forwarded to termi

Molecular Network Analysis Suggests a Logical Hypothesis for the Pathological Role of C9orf72 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/Frontotemporal Dementia

Background Expanded GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats, ranging from hundreds to thousands in number, located in the noncoding region of the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 ( C9orf72 ) gene represent the most common genetic abnormality for familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (abbreviated as C9AL
