Visible-Light-Active Titania Photocatalysts: The Case of N-Doped TiO2s—Properties and Some Fundamental Issues by Alexei V. Emeline, Vyacheslav N. Kuznetsov, Vladimir K. Rybchuk, Nick Serpone

“…With similar DFT computations, others concluded that red-shifted absorption edges originate from the presence of localized intragap dopant states above the upper level of the VB band. Recent analyses of absorption spectral features in the visible region for a large number of doped TiO2 specimens, however, have suggested a common origin owing to the strong similarities of the absorption features, and this regardless of the preparative methods and the nature of the dopants. …”

Flexor-Pronator Mass Training Exercises Selectively Activate Forearm Musculature by Takumi Fukunaga, Connor Fedge, Timothy Tyler, Michael Mullaney, Brandon Schmitt, Karl Orishimo, Malachy McHugh, Stephen Nicholas

“…The purpose of this study was to measure the extent of EMG activity of the flexor pronator musculature during two distinct forearm strengthening exercises using resistance bands. It was hypothesized that two exercises would elicit at least moderate level of muscle activity, but the activation would be different in the pronator versus the flexor muscles…”

IDMA-Based MAC Protocol for Satellite Networks with Consideration on Channel Quality by Gongliang Liu, Xinrui Fang, Wenjing Kang

“…What is more, based on channel quality prediction, the CAC scheme, combining the new power allocation algorithm, rate scheduling, and buffering strategies together, is proposed for the emerging IDMA systems, which can support a variety of traffic types, and offering quality of service (QoS) requirements corresponding to different priority levels. Simulation results show that the new wide-band IDMA MAC protocol can make accurate estimation of available resource considering the effect of multiuser detection (MUD) and QoS requirements of multimedia traffic, leading to low outage probability as well as high overall system throughput.…”
