The decision depth for finite and infinite partial response signaling (PRS) schemes is investigated. New measures are proposed that take into account error event multiplicity. We conclude that small to moderate decoder decision depths achieve performance near MLSE even for near catastrophic codes. Under some constraints, the decision depth should be an increasing function of the signal to noise ra

By using an integrated dynamic model we are able to reconstruct the supply and gold price of the past (1920-2010) and this is used to predict the future supply of gold to the market and to make a forecast of the goldprice 2010-2100. The model was validated against field data for the period 1920-2010 and it performs well. The model GOLD is implemented in the STELLA® software and the model described

Another theme is the education of these middle class girls around 1800 and the question how this new education interacted with the new demands for love marriage. The German social historian Ulrike
