Interaction of TiO2 and ZnO NPs with human skin cells by Gautam, Archana

“…Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess the physiological effects of TiO2 and ZnO NPs interactions with primary human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, with attention to accurate dosimetry measurements and particle solubility considerations. Since the current findings on NPs interaction with skin cells are mostly based on 2D monolayer cell culture and animal models, in this study, 3D human skin explants have also been used to better understand the effects of NPs in the skin tissue. …”

Attention-aware resource allocation and QoE analysis for metaverse xURLLC services by Du, Hongyang, Liu, Jiazhen, Niyato, Dusit, Kang, Jiawen, Xiong, Zehui, Zhang, Junshan, Kim, Dong In

“…Although conventional ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) can satisfy objective KPIs, it is difficult to provide a personalized immersive experience that is a distinctive feature of the Metaverse. Since the quality of experience (QoE) can be regarded as a comprehensive KPI, the URLLC is evolved towards the next generation URLLC (xURLLC) with a personalized resource allocation scheme to achieve higher QoE. …”

Nonlinear regression approach for GPS multipath mitigation : from code to carrier-phase measurements by Phan, Quoc Huy

“…Multipath, where GPS signals arrive by more than one path and thereby create a range error, has remained the long-lasting major error source in GPS solutions although having been a target of the GPS research community since the day the system started operating. Seeking to understand the GPS multipath errors, this report aims to ef?…”

Perfect- and quasi- complementary sequences by Liu, Zilong

“…In addition, constructions of optimal and near-optimal periodic LC-CSSs (with respect to a derived lower bound) are proposed for the first time by applying linear-phase transform (modulated by Singer difference sets) to optimal quadriphase sequence sets. Since binary GCPs are known for certain even-lengths only, we investigate optimal odd-length binary pairs, each displaying the closest correlation property to a GCP. …”
