Multilevel Pulse Position Modulation With Level Trimming for Electromagnetic Nanocommunications in the Terahertz Band

Nanomachines are submicrometer-scale devices led by nanotechnology that can perform simple sensing, local actuation, limited data processing, storage, and communication tasks in the terahertz (THz) band, that is, from $\mathrm {0.1~}$ - $...

High Sensitivity Microfiber Interferometer Sensor in Aqueous Solution

The need for environmental protection and water pollution control has led to the development of different sensors for determining many kinds of pollutants in water. Ammonia nitrogen presence is an important indicator of water quality in env...

Design and electrochemical evaluation of a CuNWs/rGO/PEDOT:PSS multilayer counter electrode for DSSC

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) require an efficient and cost-effective counter electrode to replace the conventional platinum counter electrode, whose scarcity, high cost, and fabrication complexity hinder large-scale commercialization....

Roles of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD)

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in the morbidity and mortality of diabet...

Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future: Addressing Global Challenges with the International Network4Sustainable Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology has important roles to play in international efforts in sustainability. We discuss how current and future capabilities in nanotechnology align with and support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. We argue that,...

Nanotechnology and Cancer

The biological picture of cancer is rapidly advancing from models built from phenomenological descriptions to network models derived from systems biology, which can capture the evolving pathophysiology of the disease at the molecular level....

Fiume hosszú árnyéka. A városi modernizáció kritikája a 19. század második felében [Fiume’s Long Shadow: Critique of Urban Modernization in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century]. By Veronika Eszik.

Le site de Plomb « le Mesnil » (Manche), ixe-xiie siècle. Regard sur l’habitat rural du haut Moyen Âge dans l’Ouest français

Overhanging a steep sided valley, the rural settlement of “Le Mesnil”, at Plomb (Manche), has yielded evidence of two occupation phases, one attributed to the 9th-10th centuries, the second to the 11th-12th centuries. The medieval settlemen...

Archaeology as Human Ecology

Archaeology as Human Ecology is a new introduction to concepts and methods in archaeology. It deals not with artifacts, but with sites, settlements, and subsistence. Karl W. Butzer's goal is to interpret the ecosystem of which an archaeolog...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...

Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling of Categorical Data for Information Fusion and Causal Inference

This paper presents a nonparametric regression model of categorical time series in the setting of conditional tensor factorization and Bayes network. The underlying algorithms are developed to provide a flexible and parsimonious representat...

Power Load Probabilistic Prediction Based on Multi-Value Quantile Regression and Timing Fusion Ensemble Learning Model

The core component to ensure the refined and safe operation of distribution network scheduling is 10 kV bus load probabilistic prediction. However, existing probabilistic prediction methods suffer from insufficient dynamic feature extractio...

Inference, Prediction, & Entropy-Rate Estimation of Continuous-Time, Discrete-Event Processes

Inferring models, predicting the future, and estimating the entropy rate of discrete-time, discrete-event processes is well-worn ground. However, a much broader class of discrete-event processes operates in continuous-time. Here, we provide...

Edge-centric connectome-genetic markers of bridging factor to comorbidity between depression and anxiety

Abstract Depression-anxiety comorbidity is commonly attributed to the occurrence of specific symptoms bridging the two disorders. However, the significant heterogeneity of most bridging symptoms presents challenges for psychopathological in...
