Communication channels with variable parameters by V. L. Khazan, M. N. Kovaleva

“…Nevertheless, given the task of demonstrating a universal mathematical apparatus known as the theory of paired echoes for analyzing linear and nonlinear phenomena in radio engineering circuits and communication channels, it is advisable to consider the effect of time variations in the amplitude and phase of the signal that occurs in channels of communication with variable parameters, on the structure of the spectrum of this signal. In contrast to conventional amplitude and angle modulation changes the amplitude and the phase of signal in channels of communication can take place simultaneously and under the influence of random factors. …”

Association between phase angle and daily creatinine excretion changes in critically ill patients: an approach to muscle mass by Patricio Vargas-Errázuriz, Patricio Vargas-Errázuriz, Natalia Dreyse, Natalia Dreyse, Natalia Dreyse, René López, René López, Marcelo Cano-Cappellacci, Jerónimo Graf, Julia Guerrero, Julia Guerrero

“…This retrospective cohort study explores the potential of phase angle (PA°) derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as a surrogate marker for muscle mass monitoring by associating it with daily creatinine excretion (DCE), a structural and metabolic muscle mass marker. In 20 ICU patients, we observed a linear relationship between PA° and DCE at initial (S1) and follow-up (S2) points, with Rho values of 0.78 and 0.65, respectively, as well as between their percentage changes (Rho = 0.80). …”
