Digital Precoders for Partially Spectral Overlapping Subarrays in mmWave Satellite Communications by Feng-Chin Hsiao, Meng-Lin Ku, Yan-Zhou Song

“…In this paper, we investigate digital precoders for two partially spectral overlapping subarrays of LEO satellites using hybrid beamforming to enhance spectrum utilization while mitigating inter-beam interference. We propose and analyze an interference model for partially spectral overlapping subarrays, which theoretically characterizes the inter-beam interference effect resulting from partial spectrum overlapping in hybrid beamforming. …”

Sequencing of pooled DNA samples (Pool-Seq) uncovers complex dynamics of transposable element insertions in Drosophila melanogaster. by Robert Kofler, Andrea J Betancourt, Christian Schlötterer

“…Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that parasitize genomes by semi-autonomously increasing their own copy number within the host genome. While TEs are important for genome evolution, appropriate methods for performing unbiased genome-wide surveys of TE variation in natural populations have been lacking. …”

Discovery Latency Analysis of Ultra-Dense Internet-of-Things Networks by Siti Nur Fatihah, Gilang Raka Rayuda Dewa, Jindae Kim, Illsoo Sohn

“…This paper presents a comprehensive performance analysis and optimization of ultra-dense Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. While the high density of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices in IoT networks improves wireless coverage and enhances connectivity, these coexisting devices can also lead to increased interference and collisions, degrading device discovery performance and increasing the network’s overall latency. …”

Wide Area Measurement-Based Centralized Power Management System for Microgrid with Load Prioritization by Prashant Khare, Maddikara Jaya Bharata Reddy

“…In grid-connected mode, the proposed CPMS effectively manages dynamic grid tariffs, generation variability in DERs, and state-of-charge (SoC) variations in the ESS while ensuring uninterrupted load supply. In islanded mode, a load prioritization scheme is employed to dynamically disconnect and restore loads to enhance the extent of load coverage across consumer categories. …”
