Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes that can be described by a (2), (3)-regular compact graph. In this paper, we introduce a family of (d v , d c )-regular GLDPC codes with convolutional code constraints (CC-GLDPC codes), which form an extension of classical BCCs to arbitrary regular graphs. In order to characterize the performance in the waterfall
Genomic instability is a characteristic of a majority of human malignancies. Chromosomal instability is a common form of genomic instability that can be caused by defects in mitotic checkpoint genes. Chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood are also indicative of genotoxic exposure and potential cancer risk. We evaluated associations between inherited genetic variants in 33 mitotic checkpoint g
The transdisciplinary fields of design and feminist technoscience share a common interest in focusing on the world in a state of always becoming, always changing. Within feminist technoscience, norm-critical perspectives are implemented to shed light on unequal sociotechnical infrastructures. Within design research, generative methods of critical design and design fiction encourage processes of fi
The abrupt emergence of COVID-19, has ushered in health crises around the world and has affected global security. This pandemic shows that the relationship between security affairs and global health is becoming one of the more complicated topics in world politics. The states’ unilateral and individualized response to this transnational threat marks a shift in international relations away from glob
Consumer research has a long tradition of examining the limits of consumer society (e.g. Schor & Holt, 2000). Overconsumption refers to a harmful and excessive type of consumption practice, which is typical of contemporary consumerism (Kjellberg, 2008). In the past, overconsumption was used synonymously with more theoretical concept such as hyper-consumption (Kilbourne et al., 1997) and afflue
Zhu Tianxin’s novella The Old Capital narrates the process of slowly losing contact with the past through forgetting, loss and material erasure. Instead of completely eradicating the past, this process prompts a renewed interest, and, in a sense, a renewed presence of that past in conscious remembering, literary evocation and narrative attendance. Inspired by David Crouch’s conception of heritage
This chapter is concerned with the Nordic region as a context fostering a distinct place branding scholarship and practice. The endeavour goes beyond demonstrating particular practices or significance of branding phenomena in this region. Rather, the aim is to compile and structure a growing body of research dealing with Nordic place branding and assess its global relevance and academic implicatio
