Towards collisions : an enhanced successive interference cancellation with asynchronism by Li, Qiang., Ting, See Ho., Motani, Mehul., Pandharipande, Ashish.

“…In this paper, we consider a hidden terminal scenario where two transmitters A and B, hidden to each other, wish to communicate to a common access point, AP. When a collision occurs at AP, due to the inherent asynchrony between the colliding packets, the mutual interference between them is effectively decreased. …”

Study of direct nanoimprinting processes by molecular dynamics simulations by Pei, Qing Xiang, Liu, Zi Shun, Zhang, Yong Wei, Dong, Zhili

“…In contrast, the dislocations move in parallel or normal to the imprint direction when imprinting on the (1 1 0) surface. For imprinting on the (1 1 1) surface, the dislocations glide in a small angle or normal to the imprint direction. …”

An improved coefficient decimation based reconfigurable low complexity FIR channel filter for cognitive radios by Ambede, Abhishek, Smitha, Kavallur Gopi, Vinod, Achutavarrier Prasad

“…Our method enhances the frequency response flexibility of the filter and doubles the center frequency resolution when compared to the conventional CDM. The proposed channel filter has a significantly lower multiplication complexity and achieves superior stopband and transition band characteristics when compared to the channel filters based on the conventional CDM. …”

Deactivation of the parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the hippocampus after fear-like behaviour following electrical stimulation of the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray of rats by Temel, Yasin., Blokland, Arjan., Lim, Lee Wei.

“…The majority of patients with panic disorder express a fearful sensation when encountered with panic-related cues. A subpopulation of GABAergic interneurons in the hippocampus has been demonstrated in the regulation of behavioural learning, especially during the contextual fear-conditioning. …”

Emergent constraints indicate slower increases in future global evapotranspiration by Chai, Y, Yue, Y, Slater, L, Miao, C

“…Here, we uncover bivariate emergent constraint relationships between projected global ET trends (2015–2100) and historical vapour pressure deficit (VPD) trends (1980–2014) under the low emission scenario of SSP126 when water supply is sufficient, and with historical precipitation trends under the high emission scenarios of SSP370 and SSP585 when water availability is limited, across 28 CMIP6 models. …”
