Safety and Potential Complications of Facial Wrinkle Correction with Dermal Fillers: A Systematic Literature Review by Audra Janovskiene, Deividas Chomicius, Dominykas Afanasjevas, Zygimantas Petronis, Dainius Razukevicius, Egle Jagelaviciene

“…<i>Conclusions</i>: Facial wrinkle correction procedures are generally safe and effective and the results can last from 6 to 24 months, depending on the dermal filler material and its components used. The most common complications after dermal filler injection usually resolve spontaneously, but if they persist, various pharmacological treatment methods can be used according to the condition, and surgical intervention is generally not required.…”

A low complexity ZF precoding scheme based on weighted Gauss-Seidel in massive MIMO systems by Dong ZHOU, Haiyan CAO, Fangmin XU, Xin FANG, Xiumin WANG

“…In massive MIMO systems,due to inversion of Hermitian matrix,the complexity of the traditional ZF precoding method increases exponentially with increase of the number of users.To solve this problem,a low complexity digital ZF precoding scheme based on weighted Gauss-Seidel (WGS) was proposed.That was weighted addtion the iteration results of previous step and Gausee-Seidel iteration results to accelerate the iterative convergence.The weighting factor was determined by the least mean square sum,and the weighting factor was proved to make the algorithm converge.The simulation results show that the WGS algorithm can approximate the performance of ZF precoding scheme with very few iterations,and reduce the complexity of ZF precoding from O(K ³) to O(K²),where K is the number of users.…”
