Role of Acetylsalicylic Acid in Cytokine Stimulation of Macrophages in Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) by M. Jäpel, H. Lötzerich, K. Rogalla

“…Likewise ASA had little or no adverse effect on the capacity of the macrophages for stimulation by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). Taken together, the immunostimulant effect of ASA shown in the literature as an increased production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IFN, could not be confirmed on the basis of the macrophage cytotoxiclty.…”

Performance analysis of mixed FSO-RF transmission in UAV relay communication systems by Su XU, Ji ZHANG, Yanghua DIAO, Yuanying LIU, Yi ZHANG

“…A mixed free space optical (FSO)-radio frequency (RF) transmission was studied in the multiuser unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided terrestrial network.Specifically, a novel beamforming (BF) scheme was proposed based on the available statistical channel state information (CSI), and the outage performance of the considered system was analyzed.In this mixed framework, the link between the base station and the UAV employs the FSO technology, while aerial-terrestrial links use RF technology.To achieve the space division multiple access (SDMA) in RF links.First of all, the available statistical CSI was proposed, and a novel beamforming (BF) scheme was proposed to suppress the inter-user interference so that all the users can be served simultaneously.Then, based on the assumption that the FSO and RF links follow the Gamma-Gamma fading and Nakgami-m fading respectively, an analytical expression was derived for the outage probability (OP) of the considered system.Furthermore, the asymptotical OP expression in high signal-to-noise ratio regime was presented to evaluate the achievable diversity order.Finally, numerical results were given to confirm the validity of our theoretical analysis and the superiority of the proposed scheme.…”

Research on Performance of Fiber-Based Multiple Apertures Receiver System with PPM Modulation by Kangning LI, Xu FENG, Jianwen GAO, Jing Ma

“…The performance of fi ber-based FSO with multiple apertures receiver system was studied for pulse position modulation (PPM) .Expressions of PPM modulated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit-error rate (BER) for fi ber-based FSO multiple apertures receiver system were presented based on the probability density function of Gamma-Gamma intencity distribution and non–central chisquare fi ber coupling effi ciency distribution under atmospheric infl uence.Selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) were considered to be three signal combining methods for multiple apertures receiver system.The BER performance of 4PPM modulted SC, EGC and MRC fi ber-based multiple apertures receiver system and single aperture receiver system with the same total aperture area were comparative analyzed by Monte Carlo simulation.The BER performance of fi ber-based multiple apertures receiver systems in 4PPM and 8PPM modulation modes were directly compared for diff erent combining methods.…”
