Feasibility study of a new injection method for EMI reduction in indoor broadband PLC networks by Pang, T. S., So, Ping Lam, See, Kye Yak

“…This paper proposes a new signal-injection technique which utilizes the earth wire that is present in the electrical system to reduce electromagnetic-interference (EMI) radiation from indoor broadband power-line communication (PLC) networks. The new signal injection method is compared with the typical signal injection technique used in PLC modems today. …”

Heights via anabelian geometry and local Bloch-Kato Selmer sets by Betts, L

“…<p>We study the problem of describing local components of height functions on abelian varieties over characteristic 0 local fields as functions on spaces of torsors under various realisations of a 2-step unipotent motivic fundamental group naturally associated to the defining line bundle. To this end, we present three main theorems giving such a description in terms of the Q_l and Q_p-pro-unipotent etale realisations when the base field is p-adic, and in terms of the R-pro-unipotent Betti–de Rham realisation when the base field is archimedean.…”

A diagnostic host-specific transcriptome response for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia to guide pediatric patient treatment by Viz-Lasheras, S, Gómez-Carballa, A, Bello, X, Rivero-Calle, I, Dacosta, AI, Kaforou, M, Habgood-Coote, D, Cunnington, AJ, Emonts, M, Herberg, JA, Wright, VJ, Carrol, ED, Paulus, SC, Zenz, W, Kohlfürst, DS, Schweintzger, N, Van der Flier, M, de Groot, R, Schlapbach, LJ, Agyeman, P, Pollard, AJ, Fink, C, Kuijpers, TT, Anderson, S

Role of Macroeconomic Factors, Institutional Quality and Digitalization Towards Performance of Islamic Microfinance Institutions by Ahmed, Mushtaq, Isa, Mohamad Yazid

“…The success of microfinance institutions is uneven in achieving both objectives, some achieve one objective, either financial or social, while some fail to achieve any objective altogether. In this line, study uses panel data of 35 Islamic microfinance institutions of OIC countries to investigate the impact of macroeconomic, macro institutional factors and digitalization on the financial and social performance of microfinance institutions in OIC countries from 2008 to 2019. …”

Floquet stroboscopic divisibility in non-Markovian dynamics by Bastidas, Victor M., Kyaw, Thi Ha, Tangpanitanon, Jirawat, Romero, Guillermo, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Angelakis, Dimitris G.

“…We illustrate the theory by considering a harmonic oscillator coupled to both non-Markovian and Markovian baths. Our findings provide us with a theory for the exact calculation of spectral properties of time-local non-Markovian Liouvillian operators, and might shed light on the nature and existence of the steady state in non-Markovian dynamics.…”

Sample size estimation with missing values on clinical trials by Zhang, Mengyang

“…In this work, we compare the power of the full datasets with the power of the datasets having missing values under the 2 × 2 and 2 × 4 crossover design. In this way, we find the average percentage of the sample size that should be increased to offset the decreasing in power (original is around 80%), which is caused by 20% and 30% missing data in the tests for treatment difference and bio-equivalence. …”
