Modeling the Ultra-Wideband Outdoor Channel - Model Specification and Validation

In this paper we establish a geometry-based stochastic ultra-wideband channel model for outdoor infostations scenarios. We statistically describe the location and strength of clusters of scatterers, as well as the shape and width of visibility and shadowing regions. We also separately model diffuse radiation (which cannot be explained by the scatterer components), and show that its fading statisti

Fluorescence diagnostics and kinetic studies in the head and neck region utilizing low-dose delta-aminolevulinic acid sensitization

Diagnostic measurements and pharmacokinetic studies were performed in 17 patients with various kinds of malignant, premalignant and benign lesions in the head and neck region by means of point monitoring laser-induced fluorescence. For marking different types of tissue, delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) was used. The ALA-induced PpIX synthesis was monitored at differ

Implant size and fixation mode strongly influence tissue reactions in the CNS.

The function of chronic brain machine interfaces depends on stable electrical contact between neurons and electrodes. A key step in the development of interfaces is therefore to identify implant configurations that minimize adverse long-term tissue reactions. To this end, we here characterized the separate and combined effects of implant size and fixation mode at 6 and 12 weeks post implantation i

Superpolynomial growth in the number of attractors in Kauffman networks (conference report)

The Kauffman model describes a particularly simple class of random Boolean networks. Despite the simplicity of the model, it exhibits complex behavior and has been suggested as a model for real world network problems. This work is based on an earlier paper where we introduced a novel approach to analyzing attractors in random Boolean networks. Applying this approach to Kauffman networks, we prove

Referral of sensation to an advanced humanoid robotic hand prosthesis.

Hand prostheses that are currently available on the market are used by amputees to only a limited extent, partly because of lack of sensory feedback from the artificial hand. We report a pilot study that showed how amputees can experience a robot-like advanced hand prosthesis as part of their own body. We induced a perceptual illusion by which touch applied to the stump of the arm was experienced

A school-curriculum-based exercise intervention program for two years in pre-pubertal girls does not influence hip structure.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is known that physical activity during growth has a positive influence on bone mineral accrual, and is thus possibly one strategy to prevent osteoporosis. However, as bone geometry, independent of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), influences fracture risk, this study aimed to evaluate whether hip structure in pre-pubertal girls is also affected by a two-year exercise inte
