Contrast Sensitivity of Thyroid Associated Ophthalmopathy Patients without Obvious Optic Neuropathy by Ümit Beden, Sümeyra Kaya, Volkan Yeter, Dilek Erkan

“…There was no statistically significant difference between TAO patients and control groups for age and sex. TAO patients had lower levels than the control group in all the frequencies of CSFs (P<0.05) and the difference in contrast sensitivity functions between the groups seems to be more significant in higher frequencies (B, C, D, and E) (P<0.001). …”

Modification of Recycled Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash as a Low-cost Catalyst for NOx Removal by Darmansyah Darmansyah, Sheng-Jie You, Ya-Fen Wang

“…The modified fly ash catalysts can reduce catalyst costs for NOx removal by one-ninth, and the operating temperature is about 10–15% lower than conventional catalysts. In summary, industrial solid waste incineration fly ash holds excellent potential when modified with metal oxides, serving as an economical and highly efficient catalyst for NOx removal.…”

Effects of Zearalenone on IL-2, IL-6, and IFN-γ mRNA Levels in the Splenic Lymphocytes of Chickens by Y. C. Wang, J. L. Deng, S. W. Xu, X. Peng, Z. C. Zuo, H. M. Cui, Y. Wang, Z. H. Ren

“…The IL-6 levels were critically suppressed at this concentration; these changes were very statistically significant (P<0.05). At lower ZEN concentrations (0.1, 0.4 and 1.6 μg/mL), the IFN-γ levels changed slightly; however at 6.25 and 25 μg/mL, the IFN-γ results reached statistical significance compared with the control levels (P<0.05). …”

Research on multi-bit decoding algorithms for polar codes by Zhouqing SHEN, Junna SHANG

“…Aiming at the problem of high delay of successive cancellation lists (SCL) decoding algorithm for polar codes,a multi-bit SCL (MSCL) decoding algorithm based on log-likelihood ratio was proposed.The multiple codeword bits could be decoded simultaneously at a single decision time.Without loss of SCL decoding performance,the decoding delay was reduced from 3N-2 clocks to 4N/M-2 clocks.Compared with the existing multi-bit SCL decoding algorithm,the MSCL decoding algorithm had a lower complexity of the path metric calculation.In order to reduce the decoding delay and memory space of the cyclical redundancy check (CRC) assisted SCL (CA-SCL) decoding algorithm,a segmented CRC assisted MSCL (SCA-MSCL) decoding algorithm was proposed,and a segmentation information codeword length correction algorithm was proposed.By adjusting the length of the relevant segment,the information bit index set A was guaranteed.Under the same premise,the corresponding information bit index at the end of each segment could be divisible by M.The SCA-MSCL algorithm could output decoded code words as early as possible by using multiple CRC decisions,thereby reducing the decoder’s storage space and decoding delay.…”
