Development of high performance Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless ad-hoc network by Phang, Jian Kai.

“…In order to reduce the collision of data packets within a concurrent transmission, control packets are implanted with collision avoidance information for neighbours’ usage so as to check the availability of transmission. A new-ACK (acknowledgment) sequence-mechanism is also introduced to eliminate the possibility of0collision between0data and ACK-packets. …”

Impact of implicit feedback channel in cooperative relay networks by Madhukumar, A. S., James, Ashish, Tio, Surya Dharma, Kurniawan, Ernest

“…This paper studies the impact of such an implicit feedback channel by employing powerful codes which exhibit inherent incremental redundancy features, such as rate-compatible codes (rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes and punctured low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes) and rateless codes (Luby Transform (LT) codes). …”

An exploratory study on the development of a sensory wheel affiliated with the emotional lexicon for chrysanthemum infusion by Xia, Y, Hou, J, Chen, J, Spence, C, Qian, J, Zhao, F, Dong, G, Zhong, F

“…Additionally, consumer emotional responses to chrysanthemum infusion were assessed using the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method. By mapping the descriptive sensory data with emotional response data through Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), we identified sensory drivers that elicit specific emotional responses. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

Electroweak three-body decays in the presence of two- and three-body bound states by Briceño, Raul A., Jackura, Andrew W., Pefkou, Dimitra A., Romero-López, Fernando

“…For kinematics below the three-body threshold, we demonstrate that the scattering amplitudes satisfy unitarity. We also check that for these kinematics the finite-volume matrix elements are accurately described by the formalism for two-body systems up to exponentially suppressed corrections. …”

Transverse momentum-dependent heavy-quark fragmentation at next-to-leading order by von Kuk, Rebecca, Michel, Johannes K. L., Sun, Zhiquan

“…Our final results in position space agree with those of a recent calculation by another group that used a highly orthogonal organization of singularities in the intermediate momentum-space steps, providing a strong independent cross check. As an immediate application, we present the complete quark mass dependence of the energy-energy correlator (EEC) in the back-to-back limit at (𝛼𝑠).…”
