Declaration of smallpox eradication by the WHO in 1980 led to discontinuation of the worldwide vaccination campaign.The increasing percentage of unvaccinated individuals, the existence of its causative infectious agent variola virus (VARV), and the recent synthetic achievements increase the threat of intentional or accidental release and reemergenc
Low Complexity Bit Reliability and Predication Based Symbol Value Selection Decoding Algorithms for Non-Binary LDPC Codes
The main challenge for hardware implementation of non-binary LDPC decoding is the high computational complexity and large memory requirement.To address this challenge, five new low complexity LDPC decoding algorithms are proposed in this paper.The proposed algorithms are developed specifically towards the low complexity, yet effective, decoding of
Diabetes, A Culprit Against Quality of Life?
Quality of life (QoL) is a very contemporary domain of modern health care practices.Though it has no clear or concise definition, its impact of it is huge for an individual living with diabetes mellitus.Yet, the mention of QoL is restricted to majorly four common domains, such as physical, psychological, social, and environmental, which excludes th
Catastrofic Hazards in the Canary Islands. A geographic vision
Negative consequences upon the Canary Jacket Islands population due to catastrophic hazards have been very significant during the period 1995-2005.On one hand, to appoint an important number of mortal victims, fifty two, and substantial economic losses in material as well as in environmental resources; all of them caused by the action of intense ra
