Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can be considered serious competitors to turbo codes in terms of performance and complexity and they are based on a similar philosophy: constrained random code ensembles and iterative decoding algorithms. In this paper, we consider the encoding problem

Ailanthus, also known as tree-of-heaven and paradisetree, is a major nuisance to foresters, farmers, and homeowners alike. Its prolific seeding and ability to sprout from roots and stumps and grow quite rapidly just about anywhere make it a serious competitor and threat to native species

-rate) gives that they are not serious competitors.

Flash memory is becoming an increasingly important storage component among non-volatile storage devices. Its cost is decreasing dramatically, which makes it a serious competitor of disks and a candidate for enterprise-tier storage device of the future. Consequently, there is an urgent need

Abstract. The non-sinusoidal current drawn by variable speed drives has increase the concern about its effects on the distribution system power quality. On the other hand, electrical drives based on permanent magnet synchronous motors have become serious competitors against induction motors drives

) encoders and decoders. Simulation results, which are conducted with the network simulator ns2 software, showed that ASMP can be regarded as a serious competitor of TFMCC and PGMCC. In many cases, ASMP outperforms TFMCC in terms of TCP-friendliness and smooth transmission rates, while PGMCC presents lower
