Linear fusion of interrupted reports in cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks

2015

Interrupted reporting has recently been introduced as an effective method to increase the energy efficiency of cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in cognitive radio networks. In this paper, joint optimization of the reporting and fusion phases in a cooperative sensing with interrupted reporting is considered. This optimization aims at finding the best weights used at the fusion center to construct a linear fusion of the received interrupted reports, jointly with Bernoulli distributions governing the statistical behavior of the interruptions. The problem is formulated by using the deflection criterion and as a nonconvex quadratic program which is then solved for a suboptimal solution, in a…

A DFT Study of Linear Gold–Thiolate Superclusters Absorbing in the Therapeutic NIR Window

2015

A series of linear clusters up to an aspect ratio of 1:6, formed as multimers of smaller clusters with an icosahedral Au13(5+) core having an eight-electron superatom configuration, are computationally predicted to have a greatly enhanced size-dependent absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region extending to the biologically important NIR window. A novel structural model is presented for the previously isolated thiol-stabilized Au54(SR)30 cluster, where the metal core is formed as a heterodimer of the cores of the known Au25(SR)18(-/0) and Au38(SR)24 clusters.

Iron and pH regulating the photochemical mineralization of dissolved organic carbon

2017

Solar radiation mineralizes dissolved organic matter (DOM) to dissolved inorganic carbon through photochemical reactions (DIC photoproduction) that are influenced by iron (Fe) and pH. This study addressed as to what extent Fe contributes to the optical properties of the chromophoric DOM (CDOM) and DIC photoproduction at different pH values. We created the associations of Fe and DOM (Fe-DOM) that cover the range of loadings of Fe on DOM and pH values found in freshwaters. The introduced Fe enhanced the light absorption by CDOM independent of pH. Simulated solar irradiation decreased the light absorption by CDOM (i.e., caused photobleaching). Fe raised the rate of photobleaching and steepened…

Branching Ratios and Spectral Functions of $\tau$ Decays: final ALEPH measurements and physics implications

2005

The full LEP-1 data set collected with the ALEPH detector at the $Z$ pole during 1991-1995 is analysed in order to measure the $\tau$ decay branching fractions. Extensive systematic studies are performed, in order to match the large statistics of the data sample corresponding to over 300 000 measured and identified $\tau$ decays. Branching fractions are obtained for the two leptonic channels and eleven hadronic channels defined by their respective numbers of charged particles and $\pi^0$'s. Using previously published ALEPH results on final states with charged and neutral kaons, corrections are applied to the hadronic channels to derive branching ratios for exclusive final states without kao…

Ultraviolet B radiation induced alterations in immune function of fish : in relation to habitat preference and disease resistance

2009

Runsas altistuminen auringolle on tunnetusti haitallista ihmisten ja eläinten hyvinvoinnille. Eveliina Markkula tutki väitöskirjatyössään, miten ultravioletti B (UVB) -säteilylle altistuminen vaikuttaa kalojen vastustuskykyyn ja tautialttiuteen.- Ilmakehän otsonikerroksen oheneminen viime vuosikymmenten aikana on johtanut UVB-säteilyn lisääntymiseen maan pinnalla. UVB-säteily tunkeutuu myös kirkkaisiin järvi- ja merivesiin ja voi näin aiheuttaa haittaa kaloille, Markkula kertoo.UVB-säteilyn on jo aiemmin todettu lisäävän kalojen varhaisten elinvaiheiden epämuodostumia ja kuolleisuutta. Kertaluonteinenkin altistuminen lampuilla tuotetulle UVB-säteilylle aiheuttaa muutoksia kalan immuunijärje…

Chirurgia trans-cranica mediante ultrasuoni focalizzati ad alta intensità su guida RM: esperienza preliminare a 1,5T (prima paziente trattata)

2015

Presentiamo i risultati preliminari ottenuti con la prima istallazione italiana di un’apparecchiatura per la neurochirurgia funzionale mediante ultrasuoni focalizzati ad alta intensità su guida RM (trans-cranial MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery, tcMRgFUS); si tratta tra l’altro della prima apparecchiatura tcMRgFUS al mondo mai installata su uno scanner RM da 1,5T. Tale apparecchiatura è destinata a trattamenti di neurochirurgia funzionale di pazienti con tremore essenziale (Essential Tremor, ET), Parkinson idiopatico (Parkinson Disease, PD) prevalentemente tremorigeno e dolore neuropatico (Neuropa- thic Pain, NP). Sanno presentati i risultati ottenuti con i primi pazienti sottoposti …

An Unusual Ditelluride: Synthesis and Molecular and Electronic Structures of the Dimer of the Tellurium-Centered Radical [TePiPr2NiPr2PTe]•

2005

Facile formation of the ditelluride [(TePiPr2NiPr2PTe-)2], which exists as a centrosymmetric dimer (see picture: Te green, P purple, N blue, C gray) with a weak Te[BOND]Te bond, embodies a new feature of the chemistry of dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate ligands. The monotelluride HPiPr2NiPr2PTe analogue is obtained as the P[BOND]H tautomer. peerReviewed
