Spectrum sensing under distribution uncertainty in cognitive radio networks by Gong, Shimin, Wang, Ping, Liu, Wei

“…However, an unrealistic assumption regarding the signal distribution easily leads to unreliable detection probability. In this paper, we study the sensing performance considering the distribution uncertainty in hypothesis testing, i.e., the actual distribution function of the received signal strength is not known. …”

Marta Czok PERMANENT COLLECTION by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig

“…The collection is divided into key thematic areas: we enter via the Prologue - History Revisited, then move through the rooms dedicated to the Eternal City, into political commentary via the Napoleon Complex and the Power Route; we are then immersed in the lived experience of conflict in Traces of War, leading to a playful commentary on contemporary art in But is it Art?…”

Competing pairing interactions responsible for the large upper critical field in a stoichiometric iron-based superconductor CaKFe4As4 by Bristow, M, Knafo, W, Reiss, P, Meier, W, Canfield, PC, Blundell, SJ, Coldea, AI

“…The upper critical fields are extremely large, reaching values close to ∼3 Tc at the lowest temperature, and the anisotropy decreases dramatically with temperature, leading to essentially isotropic superconductivity at 4.2K. …”

Compositional imprecise probability: a solution from graded monads and Markov categories by Liell-Cock, J, Staton, S

“…Imprecise probability can be modelled in various ways, with the leading monad-based approach using convex sets of probability distributions. …”

Specialized replication mechanisms maintain genome stability at human centromeres by Scelfo, A, Angrisani, A, Grillo, M, Barnes, BM, Muyas, F, Sauer, CM, Leung, CWB, Dumont, M, Grison, M, Mazaud, D, Garnier, M, Guintini, L, Nelson, L, Esashi, F, Cortés-Ciriano, I, Taylor, SS, Déjardin, J, Wilhelm, T, Fachinetti, D

“…This study provides unprecedented insights into centromere replication and integrity, proposing mechanistic insights into the origins of centromere alterations leading to abnormal cancerous karyotypes.…”

Asymmetric projection of introspection reveals a behavioural and neural mechanism for interindividual social coordination by Miyamoto, K, Harbison, C, Tanaka, S, Saito, M, Luo, S, Matsui, S, Sankhe, P, Mahmoodi, A, Lin, M, Trudel, N, Shea, N, Rushworth, MFS

“…We demonstrate just such a pattern and that it leads to worse coordination when working with people more skilled than ourselves. …”

Cardiocutaneous syndrome is caused by aggregation of iASPP mutants by Lotz, R, Osterburg, C, Schäfer, B, Lu, X, Dötsch, V

“…Germline mutations in iASPP have been shown to cause cardiocutaneous syndromes, a combination of heart and skin defects usually leading to death before the age of five. Mutations in iASPP causing these syndromes do not cluster in hot spots but are distributed throughout the protein. …”

Lions select larger prey in a Central African protected area with increasingly effective management by Fraticelli, C, Zayed, AA, Leirs, H, Bauer, H

“…Scarcity of large prey in many West and Central African ecosystems has been described as leading to a preference for hunting smaller prey in smaller groups. …”

Instabilities in tidal turbine wakes by Smyth, ASM, Nishino, T, Young, AM

“…Unsteady inflow causes the turbine blades to shed vorticity of time-varying strength into the wake, which in turn leads to a spatial variation in wake vortex strength, such that the vorticity of adjacent returning wake segments can differ. …”

Lattice Boltzmann formulation for eight-wave magnetohydrodynamics by Dellar, PJ

“…The ideal electric field is invariant under the extra terms proportional to the divergence of the magnetic field. This property leads to particularly simple lattice Boltzmann formulations for two of the three variants, with different treatments of the momentum equation, that are constructed and compared. …”

The immunology underlying CNS autoantibody diseases by Cleaver, J, Ceronie, B, Strippel, C, Handel, A, Irani, SR

“…The continued and rapid expansion of the CNS autoantibody-associated field holds promise for further improved diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms, ultimately leading to further improvements in patient outcomes.…”

Advances in Modeling Dense Granular Media by Kamrin, Ken, Hill, Kimberly M., Goldman, Daniel I., Andrade, Jose E.

“…This review focuses on how the modeling of dense granular media has advanced over the last 15 years. The jumping-off point of our review is the μ( I) rheology for dry granular flow, which opened the door to generic flow field modeling but was primarily geared toward problems involving small monodisperse grains of simple shapes. …”

Measurement of the electric potential and the magnetic field in the shifted analysing plane of the KATRIN experiment by KATRIN Collaboration

“…The projected sensitivity of the effective electron neutrino-mass measurement with the KATRIN experiment is below 0.3 eV (90 % CL) after 5 years of data acquisition. The sensitivity is affected by the increased rate of the background electrons from KATRIN’s main spectrometer. …”

A real options approach to releasing “network” products by McIntyre, David P., Chintakananda, Asda

“…While real options logic has been applied to many managerial initiatives in recent years, the effectiveness of real options in the context of new product releases remains ambiguous due to the dueling nature of growth options and deferral options, and the failure to factor these contexts to the theory. …”
