Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…In recent decades, cognitive radio has been introduced as a practical solution to solve the frequency scarcity problem by setting up a secondary network besides the primary one through a cognitive radio network (CRN) to increase the utilization rate of licensed frequency bands. There exist many parameters to achieve a reliable and practical CRN and it is necessary to conduct extensive signal processing studies to optimize them. …”

Punching shear strength analysis of corroded reinforcement concrete slab by Fu, Yibin

“…Further, reinforcement cross section is progressively lost to corrosion, causing a decreasing in members flexural strength, decreasing in yield strength of reinforcement bars and reduction in ultimate elongation rate. Furthermore, the bond between reinforcement and surrounding concrete weakens, which critically affects bonding strength, thus the load transfer mechanism will be affected. …”

New multi-target based therapeutics against an opportunistic superbug by Premkumar, Jayaraman.

“…Hence, there is a dearth of treatment options for community-acquired and nosocomial Pseudomonas infections due to several rapidly emerging multidrug-resistant phenotypes along with the complexity of rising resistance rates. Taken together, it is imperative to discover more potent drugs and novel therapeutic strategies to combat the infections caused by this superbug. …”

Essential role of lattice oxygen in methanol electrochemical refinery toward formate by Meng, Fanxu, Wu, Qian, Elouarzaki, Kamal, Luo, Songzhu, Sun, Yuanmiao, Dai, Chencheng, Xi, Shibo, Chen, Yubo, Lin, Xinlong, Fang, Mingliang, Wang, Xin, Mandler, Daniel, Xu, Jason Zhichuan

“…Here, using 18O isotope-labeled catalysts, we find that the oxygen atoms in formate generated during the methanol e-refinery reaction can originate from the catalysts' lattice oxygen and the O-2p-band center levels can serve as an effective descriptor to predict the catalytic performance of the catalysts, namely, the formate production rates and Faradaic efficiencies. …”
