Hybrid access control algorithm based on relay node assistant in Femtocell network by Cheng-yi LIU, Geng CHEN, Song XING, Lian-feng SHEN

“…A Femtocell hybrid access control algorithm assisted with relay note was proposed to supply higher performance for the Femtocell neighboring users (NUE) in heterogeneous network.Deploying relay outside the Femtocell networks was used and amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocol or direct link protocol was alternated to use for the data transmission of Femtocell NUE.An optimization problem was formulated with the constraints of the required transmission rates thresholds of Femtocell registered users (FUE),the thresholds of the cross-tier interferences to the macrocell users (MUE),and total transmit powers of the Femtocell base station (FBS).By using the dual decomposition method,a Femtocell hybrid access control algorithm was given based on the combination of the direct mode and relay mode.Simulation results have shown that the scheme can not only protect the QoS required by the FUE,but also decrease the cross-tier interferences suffered by the MUE.It also illustrates the better performance of the NUE through the dynamic and flexible access mechanism.Furthermore,based on the last simulation the relay link would help the NUE obtain about 25% more performance than the traditional direct link in some regions.…”

Bone mineral density in human femurs of documented age-at-death in a comparative context by Emmanuel Gilissen, Sarah Tayach, Rosine Orban

“…Bone mineral density values for humans are significantly lower than for chimpanzees, both in males and females. These results illustrate certain aspects of bone mineral density variability among different populations and within human populations over time, as well as the gracility of the human skeleton as compared to that of great apes.…”

Endothelial Adhesion of Targeted Microbubbles in Both Small and Great Vessels Using Ultrasound Radiation Force by Jia Liu, Ping Zhang, Ping Liu, Yang Zhao, Shunji Gao, Kaibin Tan, Zheng Liu

“…The adhesion of anti-CD34 microbubbles to the endothelia of rat abdominal aorta was visually analyzed using scanning electron microscopy for the first time and thousands of microbubbles were found attached to the aortic endothelia after USRF application at the same acoustic parameters. Our data illustrate that targeted adhesion of anti-CD34 microbubbles is possible in normal abdominal aorta and we demonstrate the potential of using USRF in molecular imaging of a vascular target.…”

Use of biologic response modifiers for the management of ocular inflammatory conditions by Erick Rivera-Grana, Jay Siak, James T Rosenbaum

“…While the mainstay treatment for most cases is oral or topical corticosteroids, it is very important that physicians know how other medications such as biologic response modifiers (biologics) could be used in certain cases. Through illustrative cases, we discuss how treatment with biologics can be helpful in the management of three challenging patients with ocular inflammatory conditions. …”

Exploiting Britain’s Imperial History: The Polarising Effects of the Culture-War Discourse and the Master Narrative of Nostalgia in Contemporary British Political Rhetoric by Matthias Göhrmann, Dennis Henneböhl

“…This dominant cultural narrative, which was (and is) for instance prominently instrumentalised in the context of Brexit, provides a mainly positive perception of the past, marginalising conflicting views or even omitting them entirely. We will illustrate this process by looking at selected examples of recent rhetorical products from the traditionalist bloc such as speeches or statements made in both traditional and social media.…”
