Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) for a multi-user single- input single-output (SISO) setup is studied in the power and the frequency domains simultaneously. The problem of sum-bandwidth minimization under perfect channel state information is solved for various combinations of rate requirements and user pairings. In this process, an iterative Tabu-search based algorithm is applied to avoid an

This prospective, randomised study compares the efficacy of surgery and conservative treatments in patients with cervical radiculopathy. The study group comprised 81 patients with long-lasting cervicaloradiculopathy, with a pain distribution corresponding to a significant nerve root compression, verified by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomographic myelography. The patients were randomly

The separation of molecules residing in the cell membrane remains a largely unsolved problem in the fields of bioscience and biotechnology. We demonstrate how hydrodynamic forces can be used to both accumulate and separate membrane-bound proteins in their native state. A supported lipid bilayer (SLB) was formed inside a microfluidic channel with the two proteins streptavidin (SA) and cholera toxin

A coupling element is typically used to excite one of more characteristic modes of a structure to form some desired radiation properties. In particular, non-resonant coupling elements (CEs) are attractive, since it is electrically small and can be more conveniently integrated into the structure, such as the chassis of a mobile terminal. In this case, the chassis is the primary radiator of the mobi

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease, highly influenced by environmental factors, which is an increasing public health problem in Iran, especially in the north-western part of the country. A geographical information system was used to extract data and map environmental variables for all villages in the districts of Kalaybar and Ahar in the province of East Azerbaijan. An attempt t

Kommentar till utgåvan av Hans Granlids radiopjäs "Skaldekonungen Gustafssons kröning"

En beskrivning av de olika boendeformer som finns för äldre personer och som utgår från deras existerande eller befarade framtida funktionsnedsättningar samt av de rättsliga problem som då kan uppkomma.

Experimental investigations are presented with respect to the electromechanically coupled and time-dependent behaviour of an acrylic elastomer, VHB 4910. For the electromechanically coupled experiments different biaxial pre-stretches have been considered and full-field measurements were made using three-dimensional surface digital image correlation. Both equi- biaxial and non equi-biaxial pre-stre

Objective:We and others have previously characterized changes in circulating metabolite levels following diet-induced weight loss. Our aim was to investigate whether baseline metabolite levels and weight-loss-induced changes in these are predictive of or associated with changes in body mass index (BMI) and metabolic risk traits.Methods:Serum metabolites were analyzed with gas and liquid chromatogr

Background: Task modification refers to performing a task differently than before. While task modification in walking may be a sign of looming walking difficulty, it may also be adaptive in and postpone the decline in life-space mobility. However, this has not been studied. This study examined whether changes in life-space mobility over a 2-year period differ between people who at baseline report

Background: Recent randomized trials demonstrated that laparoscopic lavage compared with resection for Hinchey III perforated diverticulitis was associated with similar mortality, less stoma formation but a higher rate of early reintervention. The aim of this study was to compare 1-year outcomes in patients who participated in the randomized Scandinavian Diverticulitis (SCANDIV) trial. Methods: Be

Det var ett yrvaket och oförstående Europa som från och med 1991 såg konflikterna i Jugoslavien blossa upp i den egna europeiska ”bakgården”. Successivt under hela 1990-talet utvecklades upplösningskonflikten till en rad olika krig, och inte nog med att detta; stridigheterna uppfattades dessutom som ovanligt våldsamma, råa och obegripliga. Framför allt västerländska journalister, universitetsakade

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs with key roles in cellular regulation. As part of the fifth edition of the Functional Annotation of Mammalian Genome (FANTOM5) project, we created an integrated expression atlas of miRNAs and their promoters by deep-sequencing 492 short RNA (sRNA) libraries, with matching Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE) data, from 396 human and 47 mouse RNA samples.
