Changes in Blood Profile from Steady State in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia Admitted for Vaso-occlusive Crisis and Acute Chest Syndrome by Timothy Klouda, Deepti Raybagkar, Bruce Bernstein, Nataly Apollonsky

“…Multiple cells and molecules involved with the inflammatory cascade play a role in the development of ACS. We found that patients with SCD who developed ACS as a complication of a vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) had a significant increase in leukocytes and decrease in platelets from their steady state when compared with a separate admission for VOC without ACS development. …”

Channel Estimation for OFDM-Based Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative System Using Relay-Superimposed Pilots by Xianwen He, Gaoqi Dou, Jun Gao

“…For the OFDM-based Amplify-and-Forward cooperative system, a novel relay-superimposed pilot strategy is proposed, where the source pilot symbols are frequency division multiplexed to estimate the cascaded channel while relay pilot sequence is superimposed onto the top of the cooperative data stream for second-hop channel estimation. …”

Corticostriatal Plastic Changes in Experimental L-DOPA-Induced Dyskinesia by Veronica Ghiglieri, Vincenza Bagetta, Valentina Pendolino, Barbara Picconi, Paolo Calabresi

“…In Parkinson’s disease (PD), alteration of dopamine- (DA-) dependent striatal functions and pulsatile stimulation of DA receptors caused by the discontinuous administration of levodopa (L-DOPA) lead to a complex cascade of events affecting the postsynaptic striatal neurons that might account for the appearance of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). …”

On Modeling and Constrained Model Predictive Control of Open Irrigation Canals by Lihui Cen, Ziqiang Wu, Xiaofang Chen, Yanggui Zou, Shaohui Zhang

“…Based on the prediction model, a constrained model predictive control was firstly investigated for the case of one single-pool canal and then generalized to the case of a cascaded canal with multipools. The hydraulic software SICC was used to simulate the canal and test the algorithms with application to a real-world irrigation canal of Yehe irrigation area located in Hebei province.…”
