Partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique is Baby One-Pieces considered as one of the efficient methods to reduce the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem in 4G waveform design such as the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.Filtered-OFDM (F-OFDM) is a new candidate in the 5G waveform development with maintaining a
Abstract The association between the footwear microclimate and microbial community on the foot plantar skin was investigated by experiments with three participants.Novel methods were developed for measuring in-shoe temperature and humidity at five footwear regions, as well as the overall ventilation rate inside the footwear.Three types of footwear
