Feasibility study of a new injection method for EMI reduction in indoor broadband PLC networks by Pang, T. S., So, Ping Lam, See, Kye Yak

“…This paper proposes a new signal-injection technique which utilizes the earth wire that is present in the electrical system to reduce electromagnetic-interference (EMI) radiation from indoor broadband power-line communication (PLC) networks. The new signal injection method is compared with the typical signal injection technique used in PLC modems today. …”

Existence and uniqueness of solutions for delay boundary value problems with p-Laplacian on infinite intervals by Wei, Yuming, Wong, Patricia Jia Yiing

“…This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions for boundary value problems with p-Laplacian delay differential equations on the half-line. The existence of solutions is derived from the Schauder fixed point theorem, whereas the uniqueness of solution is established by the Banach contraction principle. …”

Melonic limits of the quartic Yukawa model and general features of melonic CFTs by Fraser-Taliente, L, Wheater, J

“…We identify the flows between the melonic and prismatic fixed points in the bosonic and fermionic sectors, finding an apparent line of fixed points in both. We reproduce these fixed points non-perturbatively using the Schwinger-Dyson equations, and in addition identify the supersymmetric fixed points in general dimension. …”

Heights via anabelian geometry and local Bloch-Kato Selmer sets by Betts, L

“…<p>We study the problem of describing local components of height functions on abelian varieties over characteristic 0 local fields as functions on spaces of torsors under various realisations of a 2-step unipotent motivic fundamental group naturally associated to the defining line bundle. To this end, we present three main theorems giving such a description in terms of the Q_l and Q_p-pro-unipotent etale realisations when the base field is p-adic, and in terms of the R-pro-unipotent Betti–de Rham realisation when the base field is archimedean.…”

Topological phase transition in quasi-one-dimensional bismuth iodide Bi 4 I 4 by Zhao, WX, Yang, M, Du, X, Li, YD, Zhai, KY, Hu, YQ, Han, JF, Huang, Y, Liu, ZK, Yao, YG, Zhuang, JC, Du, Y, Zhou, JJ, Chen, YL, Yang, LX

“…By tracking the temperature evolution of the (100) surface states, we unveil a thermal hysteresis of the surface gap in line with the α-β structural phase transition. Our findings directly evidence a temperature-induced topological phase transition from WTI to HOTI in Bi4I4, which paves the way to its potential applications at room temperature.…”

A diagnostic host-specific transcriptome response for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia to guide pediatric patient treatment by Viz-Lasheras, S, Gómez-Carballa, A, Bello, X, Rivero-Calle, I, Dacosta, AI, Kaforou, M, Habgood-Coote, D, Cunnington, AJ, Emonts, M, Herberg, JA, Wright, VJ, Carrol, ED, Paulus, SC, Zenz, W, Kohlfürst, DS, Schweintzger, N, Van der Flier, M, de Groot, R, Schlapbach, LJ, Agyeman, P, Pollard, AJ, Fink, C, Kuijpers, TT, Anderson, S

Trends and Determinants of Location of Death Due to Colorectal Cancer in the United States by Sonal, Swati, Jain, Bhav, Bajaj, Simar S., Dee, Edward C., Boudreau, Chloe, Cusack, James C., Kunitake, Hiroko, Goldstone, Robert, Bordeianou, Liliana G., Cauley MD, Christy E., Francone, Todd D., Ricciardi, Rocco, Qadan, Motaz, Berger, David L.

“…Conclusions The gradual shift in location of death of patients who die of CRC from institutionalized settings to home and hospice is a promising trend and reflects the prioritization of patient goals for end-of-life care by healthcare providers. However, there are existing sociodemographic disparities in access to deaths at home and in hospice, which emphasizes the need for policy interventions to reduce health inequity in end-of-life care for CRC.…”

A facile formulation based on polyacrylate resin for SLA 3D printing by Lie, Anthony

“…Furthermore, we also tried to find a way to improve toughness for acrylate-based polymer material by the addition of plastic additives so as to improve their chances of being utilised for real-life applications. We were able to increase the toughness by a certain amount, but different situations may arise which may change the possibility of this increment being crucial into allowing the acylate-based polymer to be useful for real-life applications. …”
