Single frequency sound propagation prediction in flat waveguides with locally reactive impedance boundaries by Chen, Weisong, Qiu, Xiaojun, Min, Hequn

“…The proposed model can determine coherently the sound fields at arbitrary receiver locations in a flat waveguide, even when one boundary is highly sound absorptive. Being compared with the classical wave theory and the existing coherent ray-based methods, it is shown that the proposed method provides considerable accuracy and advantages to predict sound propagation in flat waveguides with a sound absorptive ceiling and a reflective floor over a broad frequency range, particularly at large distances from the source where the existing methods are problematic.…”

Enhanced coupled-resonator-induced transparency and optical fano resonance via intracavity backscattering by Ang, Thomas Y. L., Ngo, Nam Quoc

“…In addition, it is found that the symmetric CRIT peaks can be reshaped into asymmetric OFR line shapes either by using TWMRs with different intracavity backscattering strengths when one input is launched into the circuit or by modulating the phase/amplitude difference between the dual contrapropagating inputs, which are launched into the circuit in the presence of intracavity backscattering. …”

A low complexity reconfigurable non-uniform filter bank for channelization in multi-standard wireless communication receivers by Darak, Sumit Jagdish, Vinod, Achutavarrier Prasad, Lai, Edmund Ming-Kit

“…Design example shows that the proposed FB offers multiplier complexity reduction of 83% over Per-Channel (PC) approach and 60% over Modulated Perfect Reconstruction FB. The proposed FB when designed as a uniform FB (subbands of equal bandwidths), offers a complexity reduction of 20% over Discrete Fourier Transform FB (DFTFB) and 57% over Goertzel Filter Bank. …”

Synergism between Curdlan and GM-CSF confers a strong inflammatory signature to Dendritic cells by Min, Lin, Siti Aminah Mohammad Isa, Fam, Wee Nih, Sze, Siu Kwan, Beretta, Ottavio, Mortellaro, Alessandra, Ruedl, Christiane

“…We further identified MAPK ERK as one possible integration site of both signals, because its phosphorylation was clearly augmented when curdlan was coapplied with GM-CSF. Our data demonstrate that the immunomodulatory activity of curdlan requires an additional signal provided by GM-CSF to successfully initiate a robust β-glucan-specific cytokine and chemokine response. …”

Additive strategies to mitigate humidity interference effects on PEDOT:PSS sensors for ammonia detection by Beniwal, Ajay, Ganguly, Priyanka, Khandelwal, Gaurav, Gond, Rahul, Rawat, Brajesh, Li, Chong

“…Current-voltage (I-V) characteristic assessments reveal a linear ohmic behaviour, emphasising the heightened conductivity of the samples with additives compared to the PEDOT:PSS sensor. When assessing the humidity response, the DMF modified PEDOT:PSS sensor exhibited minimal % response, registering only 37.01% at 90% humidity. …”
