This volume draws together studies on the diverse group of calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCS) in one comprehensive format. The characteristics of CaCCs identified in a number of different systems are described by experts in the field. Channels discussed include those described in cardiac, neuronal, endothelial and epithelial systems, in addition to sections on the CaCC of Xenopus Oocytes and the newly identified family of CLCA proteins. Key Features* Includes description of CaCCs in excitable and non-excitable tissues* Reviews identification and c

Wireless Communications over MIMO Channels: Applications to CDMA and Multiple Antenna Systems covers both, state-of-the-art channel coding concepts and CDMA and multiple antenna systems, rarely found in other books on the subject. Furthermore, an information theoretical analysis of CDMA and SDMA systems illuminate ultimate limits and demonstrates the high potential of these concepts. Besides spatial multiplexing, the use of multiple transmit antennas in order to increase the link reliability by diversity concepts (space-time coding) is described. Another focus is the application of erro

This exceptional text introduces the reader to the theory and basis of antennas and propagation in the rapidly developing field of mobile communications. Topics covered include basic multipath mechanisms and propagation, and propagation modeling as well as short term channel behavior from two path and many path models and scenarios. Also, the basics of antenna design and operation are discussed including array antennas. This book promises to be a valuable reference work for many years and would be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of telecommunications engineers and researchers.Also availa

This book is a useful tool for researchers in both academia and industry who are interested in improving the performances of magnetic recording systems using new coding schemes. Coding and Iterative Detection for Magnetic Recording Channels proposes several new approaches for enhancing the performance of magnetic recording systems by coding and interpolated timing recovery. It provides a tutorial introduction to turbo codes, LDPC codes and their iterative detection schemes. The main emphasis, however, is placed on the simplification of the detector structures for the implementation o

The most comprehensive compendium of information available on calcium channelsCalcium channels are a common component of the membranes of a wide range of excitable cells, and their presence is crucial to the functioning of these cells. This book presents a current review of the biophysics, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical role of calcium channels. Chapters discussing the biophysics of calcium channels include topics in ion permeation, channel activation, channel inactivation, and second messenger modulation. The chapters on physiology cover excitation-contraction coupling, excitation-se
