Power allocation optimization in OFDM-based cognitive radios based on sensing information
2011
Owing to the non-zero probability of the missed detection and false alarm of active primary transmission, a certain degree of performance degradation of the primary user (PU) from cognitive radio users (CRs) is unavoidable. In this paper, we consider OFDM-based communication systems and present efficient algorithms to maximize the total rate of the CR by optimizing jointly both the detection operation and the power allocation, taking into account the influence of the probabilities of missed detection and false alarm, namely, the sensing accuracy. The optimization problem can be formulated as a two-variable non-convex problem, which can be solved approximately by using an alternating directi…
Patch-Based Image Denoising Model for Mixed Gaussian Impulse Noise Using L1 Norm
2017
Image denoising is the classes of technique used to free the image form the noise. The noise in the image may be added during the observation process due to the improper setting of the camera lance, low-resolution camera, cheap, and low-quality sensors, etc. Noise in the image may also be added during the image restoration, image transmission through the transmission media. To obtain required information from image, image must be noise free, i.e., high-frequency details must be present in the image. There are number of applications where image denoising is needed such as remote location detection, computer vision, computer graphics, video surveillance, etc. In last two decades, numbers of m…
A comparison of the Raman LAM and electron microscopy in determining crystallite thickness distributions: Polyethylenes with narrow size distributions

The Safety of Slaughterhouse Workers during the Pandemic Crisis
2021
The working conditions in a slaughterhouse are difficult because of the low temperatures, high humidity, and little natural light. Therefore, in these facilities, there is a high demand in the maintenance of strict hygiene rules. Lately, the new SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation has brought new challenges in the meat industry, as this sector has to maintain its operability to supply the meat and meat products demanded by the consumers. In this challenging period, the safety of the workers is as important as keeping the high demands for the safety of the meat and meat products along with consumer confidence. This paper aims to give an overview of the risks associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus tr…
Programmable assembly of peptide amphiphile via noncovalent-to-covalent bond conversion
2017
Controlling the number of monomers in a supramolecular polymer has been a great challenge in programmable self-assembly of organic molecules. One approach has been to make use of frustrated growth of the supramolecular assembly by tuning the balance of attractive and repulsive intermolecular forces. We report here on the use of covalent bond formation among monomers, compensating for intermolecular electrostatic repulsion, as a mechanism to control the length of a supramolecular nanofiber formed by self-assembly of peptide amphiphiles. Circular dichroism spectroscopy in combination with dynamic light scattering, size-exclusion chromatography, and transmittance electron microscope analyses r…
Phasenumwandlungen in Korrosionsschichten auf Eisen: Mößbauerspektroskopische Untersuchungen
1981
Zur Untersuchung der Korrosion von Stahlblechen wurde die mosbauerspektroskopische Phasenanalyse in Transmissions- und Streugeometrie eingesetzt. Die Korrosion von Stahlblechen fuhrt in einer Atmosphare von geringer Korrosivitat nach langen Expositionszeiten vorwiegend zu den relativ stabilen β-Phasen der moglichen Fe-Korrosionsprodukte. Bei durch HCl-Zusatz erhohter Korrosivitat ergibt sich eine Bevorzugung der Bildung von β-FeOOH und kein Auftreten der α-Phasen. Auch der Einflus von. Beschichtungen auf die Phasenzusammensetzung wird behandelt. Die Entstehung und Umwandlung der verschiedenen Fe-haltigen Phasen im Rost last sich anhand eines Stabilitatsdiagramms verstehen. Auch die Wirkung …
High frequencies of antibiotic resistance genes in infants' meconium and early fecal samples
2016
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota has been identified as an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that can be horizontally transferred to pathogenic species. Maternal GIT microbes can be transmitted to the offspring, and recent work indicates that such transfer starts before birth. We have used culture-independent genetic screenings to explore whether ARGs are already present in the meconium accumulated in the GIT during fetal life and in feces of 1-week-old infants. We have analyzed resistance to β-lactam antibiotics (BLr) and tetracycline (Tcr), screening for a variety of genes conferring each. To evaluate whether ARGs could have been inherited by maternal tr…
Spread of the fascioliasis endemic area assessed by seasonal follow-up of rDNA ITS-2 sequenced lymnaeid populations in Cajamarca, Peru
2021
Fascioliasis is a worldwide emerging snail-borne zoonotic trematodiasis with a great spreading capacity linked to animal and human movements, climate change, and anthropogenic modifications of freshwater environments. South America is the continent with more human endemic areas caused by Fasciola hepatica, mainly in high altitude areas of Andean regions. The Peruvian Cajamarca area presents the highest human prevalences reported, only lower than those in the Bolivian Altiplano. Sequencing of the complete rDNA ITS-2 allowed for the specific and haplotype classification of lymnaeid snails collected in seasonal field surveys along a transect including 2007–3473 m altitudes. The species Galba t…
Axonemal Symmetry Break, a New Ultrastructural Diagnostic Tool for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia?
2022
Diagnosis testing for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) requires a combination of investigations that includes study of ciliary beat pattern by high-speed video-microscopy, genetic testing and assessment of the ciliary ultrastructure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Historically, TEM was considered to be the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of PCD. However, with the advances in molecular genetic techniques, an increasing number of PCD variants show normal ultrastructure and cannot be diagnosed by TEM. During ultrastructural assessment of ciliary biopsies of patients with suspicion of PCD, we observed an axonemal defect not previously described that affects peripheral doublets tilt…
Glial expression of Swiss cheese (SWS), the Drosophila orthologue of neuropathy target esterase (NTE), is required for neuronal ensheathment and func…
2016
ABSTRACT Mutations in Drosophila Swiss cheese (SWS) or its vertebrate orthologue neuropathy target esterase (NTE), respectively, cause progressive neuronal degeneration in Drosophila and mice and a complex syndrome in humans that includes mental retardation, spastic paraplegia and blindness. SWS and NTE are widely expressed in neurons but can also be found in glia; however, their function in glia has, until now, remained unknown. We have used a knockdown approach to specifically address SWS function in glia and to probe for resulting neuronal dysfunctions. This revealed that loss of SWS in pseudocartridge glia causes the formation of multi-layered glial whorls in the lamina cortex, the firs…
