The sixth, he had a bugle,
And when he blew a blast,
The stoutest of his foemen
Would fly before him fast:

Enough a woman still, to know

Made all the cottage quake;

It blew me wide awake.

Multi-Dimensional Explorations in Supernova Theory
The ejecta have an entropy on the order of 20-50 kB /baryon, and the electron fraction is bimodal, with peaks at 0.25 (due to the neutrino-driven wind) and 0.5 (due to the original blast and the wind along the pole).
Multi-Dimensional Explorations in Supernova Theory
We also develop a more practical signalling method, which we refer to as the distributed D-BLAST architecture, to achieve the 2 × 2 MIMO DMT lower bound.
Cooperative Multiplexing in a Half Duplex Relay Network: Performance and Constraints
The D-BLAST structure to be introduced later will give an operational interpretation for this system.
Cooperative Multiplexing in a Half Duplex Relay Network: Performance and Constraints
Theorem 4: For the system described in (2), the distributed D-BLAST structure with the MMSE SIC algorithm achieves the optimal DMT lower bound as indicated in Theorem 2.
Cooperative Multiplexing in a Half Duplex Relay Network: Performance and Constraints
Generally speaking, the performance advantage of the distributed D-BLAST lies in the use of parallel channel coding methods (e.g. the use of independent codebooks in the above analysis) for each message.
Cooperative Multiplexing in a Half Duplex Relay Network: Performance and Constraints
We note that recently developed parallel channel codes for point-to-point MIMO systems might be applied directly to the distributed D-BLAST structure here (e.g., see the bit-reversal permutation codes in ).

IV. D I S TR IBUT ED D -BLAST The DMT-tradeoff presented in Theorem 2 might be obtained by using an Maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder at the destination, which is extremely complex for large values of L. A simpler decoder is thus desired.
Cooperative Multiplexing in a Half Duplex Relay Network: Performance and Constraints
Clearly this structure mimics a D-BLAST structure, which was originally proposed for point-to-point MIMO .
Cooperative Multiplexing in a Half Duplex Relay Network: Performance and Constraints
It has been shown that D-BLAST with minimal mean-squared error (MMSE) successive interference cancellation (SIC) is DMT-optimal for a point-to-point MIMO system .

Formation of Quantum Shock Waves by Merging and Splitting Bose-Einstein Condensates
For SNRs, post-shock turbulence could be generated by pre-shock interstellar turbulence, or, at least in young SNRs like SN 1006, by clumps of ejecta and/or long RT fingers affecting the contact discontinuity and blast shock.
The turbulent destruction of clouds - I. A k-epsilon treatment of turbulence in 2D models of adiabatic shock-cloud interactions
For this discussion we will assume that the blast wave is adiabatic, i.e. is constant with time, and effectively spherically distributed.
Short Gamma Ray Bursts and their Afterglow Signatures in Dense Stellar Systems
As the blast wave expands into the cluster winds, strong temporal variations compared to the canonical powerlaw decay can thus be produced as a result of changes on the properties of the star cluster, especially the mass-loss rates of the stars and their number density.
Short Gamma Ray Bursts and their Afterglow Signatures in Dense Stellar Systems
Large-scale density inhomogeneities in the circumburst medium are, however, likely to result in distortions of the ejecta that might be more readily observed as the blast wave evolves into the non-relativistic phase.
