Sympathetic Prions by Markus Glatzel

“…Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a group of invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The infectious agent is termed prion and is thought to be composed of a modified protein (PrPSc or PrPRES), a protease-resistant conformer of the normal host-encoded membrane glycoprotein, PrPC[1]. …”

A Review of Hypothesized Determinants Associated with Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) Die-Offs by David S. Miller, Eric Hoberg, Glen Weiser, Keith Aune, Mark Atkinson, Cleon Kimberling

“…This paper considered direct and indirect causes of mortality, as well as potential interactions among proposed environmental, host, and agent determinants of disease. A clear, invariant relationship between a single agent and field outbreaks has not yet been documented, in part due to methodological limitations and practical challenges associated with developing rigorous study designs. …”

Asymptotic characterisation of regularised zero‐forcing receiver for imperfect and correlated massive multiple‐input multiple‐output systems by Ayed M. Alrashdi

“…Abstract In this work, the authors present an asymptotic high‐dimensional analysis of the regularised zero‐forcing receiver in terms of its mean‐squared error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) when used for the recovery of binary phase‐shift keying (BPSK) modulated signals in a massive multiple‐input multiple‐output communication system. …”

Model Reduction Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Predictive Control of Distributed Reactor System by Alejandro Marquez, Jairo José Espinosa Oviedo, Darci Odloak

“…This paper studies the application of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to reduce the order of distributed reactor models with axial and radial diffusion and the implementation of model predictive control (MPC) based on discrete-time linear time invariant (LTI) reduced-order models. In this paper, the control objective is to keep the operation of the reactor at a desired operating condition in spite of the disturbances in the feed flow. …”
