An Algorithm for Inter-Modulation Interference Suppression Based on Frequency Optimization by Zhidong Hu, Weichao Zeng, Zhuoyi Tang

“…The mechanism of the fifth-order inter-modulation was discussed,and a frequency optimization algorithm for reducing the network inter-modulation interference was proposed.The inter-modulation interference produced by frequency combination can be suppressed when the TCH frequencies combination of the cell meets the following requirement:935×10⁶≤f_min＜f_max≤954×10⁶Hz,and the difference between the maximum number and minimum number of frequency points is less than 65.This method can suppress the inter-modulation interference from the source,and provides an innovative idea for inter-modulation interference optimization.…”

Targeting Inflammation in Emerging Therapies for Genetic Retinal Disease by Ishaq A. Viringipurampeer, Abu E. Bashar, Cheryl Y. Gregory-Evans, Orson L. Moritz, Kevin Gregory-Evans

“…Diverse genetic abnormalities and environmental causes have been implicated in triggering multiple pathological mechanisms such as oxidative stress, lipofuscin deposits, neovascularisation, and programmed cell death. In recent years, inflammation has also been highlighted although whether inflammatory mediators play a central role in pathogenesis or a more minor secondary role has yet to be established. …”
