Spectrum sensing and resource allocation for 5G heterogeneous cloud radio access networks

Abstract In this paper, the problem of opportunistic spectrum sharing for the next generation of wireless systems empowered by the cloud radio access network (C‐RAN) is studied. More precisely, low‐priority users employ cooperative spectrum...

Analysis of the functioning computer equipment under the influence of electromagnetic interference through the power supply network

The paper deals with experimental studies of noise immunity of computer technology in electromagnetic effects on the power supply. The results of quantitative studies functioning computer equipment when exposed to electromagnetic pulses on ...

Nuclear engineering

“Atomic power” depends upon the possibility of producing a chain reaction, analogous to that of burning, which will be self-sustaining. Only when the fission of uranium was discovered did nuclear energy become of engineering concern. This i...

Dynamic Behavior Improvement of Normally-Off p-GaN High-Electron-Mobility Transistor Through a Low-Temperature Microwave Annealing Process

The surface morphology optimization of ohmic contacts and the Mg out-diffusion suppression of normally off p-GaN gate high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) continue to be challenges in the power electronics industry in terms of the hig...

A Data-Centric Internet of Things Framework Based on Azure Cloud

Internet of Things (IoT) has been found pervasive use cases and become a driving force to constitute a digital society. The ultimate goal of IoT is data and the intelligence generated from data. With the progress in public cloud computing t...

RF Performance Benchmark of Nanosheets, Nanowires, FinFETs, and TreeFETs

RF array performance of stacked nanosheets, stacked nanowires, FinFETs, and TreeFETs are optimized using double-sided gate contact, contact over active-gate, and proposed hybrid layouts. For the double-sided gate contact, gate resistance in...

Chirality and self-assembly of structures derived from optically active 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and catecholamines

Toxicity and biodistribution comparison of functionalized nanodiamonds, quantum dot nanocarbons and gold nanoparticles

IntroductionNanomaterials are extensively utilized in applications ranging from electronics to biomedical therapies; however, their widespread use has prompted concerns about potential toxicity in humans. Understanding the biodistribution a...

Sequential generation of linear cluster states from a single photon emitter

Generating photonic cluster states using a single non-heralded source and a single entangling gate would optimise scalability and reduce resource overhead. Here, the authors generate up to 4-photon cluster states using a quantum dot coupled...

Phase 2a/b randomised placebo-controlled dose-escalation trial of triheptanoin for ataxia-telangiectasia: treating mitochondrial dysfunction with anaplerosisResearch in context

Summary: Background: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare multisystem disease characterised by neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxia, lung disease, immune deficiency, high cancer risk, and mitochondrial dysfunction. A-T cells demonstrate de...

Application of Particle Size Distribution Engineering and Nano-technology to Cement Recipes for some Iranian Offshore Oilfields

The design of cement slurry for horizontal wellbores is challenging as it must present very high quality cement slurry properties e.g. zero free water, less than 50 cc API fluid loss value, appropriate rheology and yield point for effective...

Smart integrated nanosystems for biomedical applications:critical issues and perspectives

During the last decades the progresses of nanoscience and nanotechnology for biomedical application stimulated the transition from traditional drug delivery systems to the development of smart integrated nanosystems with stimuli-responsive ...

Advances of aptamers in esophageal cancer diagnosis, treatment and drug delivery

Esophageal cancer (EC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract with poor prognosis and high mortality. The early diagnosis of EC mainly depends on endoscopic diagnosis, which not only needs to bear certain economic pressure, but ...
