The integration of cognitive radio (CR) into satellite networks is recognized as an effective strategy to enhance the efficiency of radio spectrum. This paper investigates the ergodic capacity of a multiple antenna cognitive satellite terrestrial network, where the seco...

A new colorimetric and NIR fluorescent chemosensor (1) for Cu2+ based on BODIPY is reported, displaying a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent enhancement with Cu2+ among various metal ions, upon excitation at 620 nm in CH3CN.

Recent work on geometric vision problems has exploited convexity properties to obtain globally optimal solutions. The way based on L-infinity norm makes it possible to obtain a provably global optimal solution. But the computation time increases rapidly according to the...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of the transcriptome and development of diseases including cancer and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Currently, a comprehensive map, illustrating how miRNAs regulate transcripts, pathways, ...

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the valuation of equity warrants in the geometric fractional Brownian environment based on the equilibrium condition. Using the conditional expectation we present a fractional pricing model for equity warrants and analyze the influence...

Multi-channel medium access control can fully utilize frequency resources of PHY layer, which can reduce interference and improve throughput. Aimed at clustered network, A virtual link based multi-channel MAC (VL-MAC) is proposed, which combines TDMA and FDMA. In VL-MAC...

Communication ability is one of the core requirements of doctors' competency. Teaching communication to medical students and junior doctors has attracted much attention. With the challenge of escalating demands, the status of training communication skills has been promo...

Isoproterenol, a β-adrenergic agonist, has been shown to induce salivary gland hyperplasia. However, the mechanism involved in this pharmacological phenomenon is not well understood. To gain a better understanding of the underlying changes, including genes, networks and...

Dental fluorosis (DF) is an endemic disease caused by excessive fluoride exposure during childhood. Previous studies mainly focused on the acid resistance of fluorotic enamel and failed to reach a consensus on the topic of the caries susceptibility of DF patients. In th...
