Performance analysis of RIS-assisted mixed RF/THz system by Sai LI, Liang YANG, Qimei CUI, Siyuan YU

“…To solve the problem of the short transmission distance of terahertz (THz) links, the performance of the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted mixed dual-hop radio frequency (RF)/THz system was studied.An RIS was used to enhance signal strength, thereby improving the system performance.Using the fixed-gain amplify-and-forward protocol, the cumulative distribution function and probability density function of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio of the RF/THz link were derived.Capitalizing on the statistical characteristics, the analytical expressions of outage probability, average bit error rate, and average channel capacity of the mixed relaying system were further derived.In addition, the asymptotic analyses of the outage probability and the average bit error rate were carried out to obtain the diversity order of the mixed RF/THz system.Simulation results show that the RIS can effectively improve the performance of the mixed RF/THz system.Furthermore, the system performance is related to the channel fading, pointing errors, and propagation distance.…”

“(Not) knowing what you know”: Exploring educators’ perceptions of critical thinking in occupational therapy by Jemma Gilfillan, Laura Irvine-Brown, Amelia Di Tommaso, Ana Paula Serrata Malfitano, Lisette Farias

“…Furthermore, educators encounter divergent expectations pertaining to their role as educators and the readiness of their students.Conclusions This study reveal a paradox within the occupational therapy profession, where critical thinking is highly valued yet educators experience ambiguity, differing expectations of their role, time constraints, and lack of formal education to support students’ development of critical thinking.Significance This study provides the foundation for further inquiry into the invisible effects and benefits of different understandings of critical thinking on occupational therapy practice.…”

Poesía revuelta en Chile: aproximaciones a un corpus desapropiado by Biviana Hernandez Ojeda

“… En el marco del así llamado estallido social chileno el artículo revisa un conjunto de expresiones poéticas que en los últimos años han poetizado la revuelta de octubre a partir de una subjetividad “quiltra”, comprometida con la imaginación de una forma otra de vivir. El corpus que considera esta revisión se centra en una selección de poemas, extraídos de los textos: (re)constitución poética, Rebeldía quiltra, El dado, Un oasis en el desierto y Ad Mapu Constituyente; todos los cuales se leerán desde la perspectiva crítica de una literatura “desapropiada” que busca intervenir (en) lo común desde la palabra “comunalitaria” de un nosotros autoconvocado y rebelde. …”
