Spectroscopic Characteristics and Color Origin of Red Tourmaline from Brazil by Ming Li

“…The results showed that the red color was confirmed by the symmetric broad absorption at 527 nm and the narrow absorption at 400 and 450 nm, and the above three absorption bands were caused by the d-d electron transition of Mn3+, which occupied the Y site in the crystal structure and coordinated with F to form bonds. …”

A NB-IoT access scheme based on Beta distribution by Mengya LI, Zhengquan LI

“…As one of the emerging technologies of low-power wide-area Internet of things, narrow band Internet of things (NB-IoT) faces the pressure and challenge of massive connections of terminals.Aiming at practical application scenarios, a preamble allocation scheme based on Beta distribution was proposed.In this scheme, the energy consumption of each time slot device was firstly calculated.The equipment was divided into high energy consumption according to two grouping methods: average energy consumption and cumulative energy consumption.The preamble was assigned to the high-energy-consuming device group first, and the remaining preamble and the conflicting preamble of the high-energy-consuming device group were assigned to the low-energy-consuming device group.The simulation results show that compared with the traditional random allocation scheme, the proposed scheme can effectively improve the average access success rate and average throughput of the NB-IoT system, and can effectively reduce the back off time.…”

Opium the Best Remedy by Harold Merskey

“…As can be seen from his text, they were about whether the drug was available in adequate preparations, whether there was any difference between opium and other narcotics, particularly comparing the natural juice with "its artificial preparations" (1) (all of which he thought to be about equal in effect), whether it was stimulant or restorative and invigorating, and whether it was being properly used for all the conditions in which it could be helpful. …”
