erasure

A General Medical Council (GMC) (UK) term of art for removing a medical practitioner’s name from the register of active doctors.

Types of erasure
Non-disciplinary erasure
• Administrative erasure—erasure from the register for medical practitioners in the UK due to non-payment of registration fees.
• Voluntary erasure—an administrative exercise by the GMC which doesn’t imply misconduct by the practitioner, but means that he/she cannot practise as a doctor in the UK.
• Constructive erasure—a term of art referring to a series of sanctions by the GMC against a medical practitioner that are regarded as so onerous as to constitute erasure without actual erasure.

Disciplinary (involuntary) erasure

Algorithm 1: Iterative erasure insertion and GMD decoding.
For the conventional erasure insertion schemes, that is, RTT, OTT, and MO-RTT, the error and erasure probabilities are derived in [4-6].
In Figure 4, the performance of various erasure insertion schemes is plotted over the partial-band jamming channel with [rho] = 0.1.
We will focus on the performance gap between LLR-GMD decoding with CSIR and the other erasure insertion schemes without CSIR.
