Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks: Their Channel Model and Performance Analysis by Chao Zhang, Qingchao Li, Chao Xu, Lie-Liang Yang, Lajos Hanzo

“…The numerical results yield the following insights: 1) The shadowing effect and the ratio between the line-of-sight and scattering components can be conveniently modelled by the factors of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K$</tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$m$</tex-math></inline-formula> in the proposed Shadowed-Rician small-scale fading model. 2) The atmospheric refraction has a modest effect on the path loss. 3) When calculating the transmission distance of waves, Earth&#x0027;s curvature and its geometric relationship with the satellites must be considered, particularly at small elevation angles. 3) High-frequency carriers suffer from substantial path loss, and 4) the Goodput metric is eminently suitable for characterizing the performance of different coding as well as modulation methods and of the estimation error of the Doppler effects.…”

SNORA13 antisense oligonucleotides enhances the therapeutical effects of 5-fluorouracil in colon adenocarcinoma by Yanzhi Wang, Huihui An, Yaou Zhang, Yaou Zhang, Qing Rex Lyu, Zhe Zhang

“…IndroductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignancy and is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used in clinical intervention, however, drug resistance to 5-FU poses a significant challenge to treatment efficacy. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a class of nuclear non-coding RNAs that mainly play roles in post-transcriptional RNA processing and modification in ribosomal RNA, which is crucial for sustaining protein synthesis. …”
