Dynamic Demodulation Algorithm for Bio-radar Sensors Based on Range Tapper by Changyu LIU, Hao ZHANG, Fanglin GENG, Zhongrui BAI, Peng WANG, Zhenfeng LI, Lidong DU, Xianxiang CHEN, Zhen FANG

“…However, the commonly used range Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) presents certain limitations: The breathing amplitude of the subject may cross the range bin boundary, compromising signal integrity, while breathing movements can cause amplitude modulation of physiological signals, hindering waveform recovery. To address these reasons, we propose an algorithm architecture featuring range tap reconstruction and dynamic demodulation. …”

Variable domain mutational analysis to probe the molecular mechanisms of high viscosity of an IgG1 antibody by Jing Dai, Saeed Izadi, Jonathan Zarzar, Patrick Wu, Angela Oh, Paul J. Carter

“…Subcutaneous injection is the preferred route of administration for many antibody therapeutics for reasons that include its speed and convenience. However, the small volume limit (typically [Formula: see text]2 mL) for subcutaneous delivery often necessitates antibody formulations at high concentrations (commonly ≥100 mg/mL), which may lead to physicochemical problems. …”

Research on blood donation and supply of red blood cell products to medical institutions under the spread of COVID-19 disease in Japan by Tomohide Mishiba, Shinji Takeoka

“…Although there were some fluctuations since January 2020, the amount of estimated donated whole blood, manufactured RBC products, inventory, and supply to medical institutions remained almost stable. The reasons are thought to be the contribution of registered repeaters cooperating in blood donation, the accurate prediction of supply and demand by the JRCS, the call for blood donations in accordance with the prediction, and the timely exchange of products between block centers, and the utilization of a safe supply system established previously by the JRCS. …”
