Investigating the role of self-sacrificing prosociality in intragroup and intergroup contexts by Katna, Dashalini P.

“…Parochial cooperation theories assume that strongly self-sacrificing members primarily desire and seek to achieve ingroup-favouring outcomes, and consequently become prepared to bear extreme costs to themselves. This altruism to help, however, does not always extend into intergroup contexts. …”

Instrumental Effects in 21 cm Cosmology: One-point Statistics and Power Spectrum with the HERA Interferometer by Kim, Honggeun

“…I have simulated these calibration errors by modeling realistic perturbed primary beams for HERA Phase II observations. The chromatic calibration errors are critical since they can cause foreground emission to contaminate the region of Fourier space expected to be dominated by cosmological signals. …”

OAM-based reconfigurable doppler shifts enable PAPR reduction for multi-carrier doppler diversity by Zhao, Yufei, Ge, Yao, Yang, Zhaojie, Ju, Gaohua, Ma, Lu, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…In a recent study, we discovered that even when the transceivers are stationary, a specific spatial Doppler shift can be generated by rotating the wavefront structure of the OAM helical beams. Furthermore, arbitrary integer rotational OAM Doppler shifts can be realized flexibly by using the recently popular digital encoding metasurfaces. …”
