In this paper, we consider a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system over Nakagami-m channels.The single-antenna base station serves two single-antenna NOMA users based on statistical channel state information (CSI).We derive the closed-form expression of the exact outage probability under a given decoding order, and we also deduce th

Abstract Background Microarrays are powerful tools for DNA-based molecular diagnostics and identification of pathogens.Most target a limited range of organisms and are based on only one or a very few genes for specific identification.Such microarrays are limited to organisms for which specific probes are available, and often have difficulty discrim

Forty-two lactating Priangan ewes receiving two levels of ration were used to study the relationship between rate of mammary gland involution and milk yield.The experimental ewes were divided into two groups.One group received basal ration (I = 12% CP, 65% TDN) and the Vacuum Powerhead Lead other received improved ration (II = 15% CP, 75% TDN) duri

Poverty is a complex issue that is rarely conducive to analysis in laboratory or field experiments.Effective interventions that aim to decrease or eliminate poverty require an understanding of the intricate web of associated social issues.The need for this increased comprehension necessitates the use of alternative robust means of analysis: one suc

Music A new course entitled "Methods of Operations Research (OR)" was introduced at the Department of Applied Mathematics of Stellenbosch University during the second half of 2001.The aim of this course was to introduce students of OR to the trauma of mathematical modelling in real-world scenarios, instead of merely teaching them a number of theore
