Impact of cellular interference on uplink UAV communications by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…We demonstrate that the operational altitude of the multi-UAV network determines the severity of cellular interference across low-to-high transmit power regimes. In particular, UAVs operating at higher altitudes are less affected by cellular interference, with higher finite SNR diversity gains and lower outage probability floors observed. …”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…The prior over functions is determined by the network architecture, which we vary by exploiting a transition between ordered and chaotic regimes. For Boolean function classification, we approximate the likelihood using the error spectrum of functions on data. …”

Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…By problematising the direction of causality between mega-events and rentseeking behaviour, this analysis expands current theories on states’ motivations for hosting these events and contributes to existing understandings about how these proceedings serve to support and sustain rentier regimes.…”

Conflict abroad and political trust at home evidence from a natural experiment by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Further analyses using other surveys and previous conflicts suggest this effect depends on proximity to the conflict and the political regimes of the attacked country. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex and indirect effects of conflicts on domestic political trust.…”

Factors affecting trans-scleral transport of poly (butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) polymersomes by Anita, Vincent

“…Periocular drug delivery presents an alternative treatment strategy for posterior segment eye disease (PSEDs) by administering drugs into the periocular space surrounding the eye orbit; the drugs then diffuse from this space across the sclera and choroid into the posterior segment of the eye, allowing for improved bioavailability and therapeutic effect. …”
