Experience-dependent plasticity is a fundamental property of the brain. It is critical for everyday function, is impaired in a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and frequently depends on long-term potentiation (LTP). Preclinical studies suggest that augmenting N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signaling may promote experience-dependent plasticity; however, a lack of noninvasi...

Aiming at achieving high robustness performance in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems for moving robot power supply, this paper proposes a H∞ robust control method with multiple parameters that vary randomly, including the mutual inductance, load parameter, and operating frequency. These uncertain parameters make the system control extremely difficult. A composite Upper Linear Fractional Tra...

This article presents a method for aligning words between translations, that imposes a compositionality constraint on alignments produced with statistical translation models. Experiments conducted within the WPT-03 shared task on word alignment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), active and/or passive, can be densely deployed in complex environments to significantly enhance wireless network coverage for both information transfer (WIT) and power (WPT). In this letter, we study the downlink WIT/WPT from a multi-antenna base station single-antenna user over multi-active/passive IRS (AIRS/PIRS)-enabled link. particular, derive locatio...

Because of an improvement of wireless communication technologies, cables are taken away step by step from an electrical equipment. Now, a power cable is the last wire connected to the equipment. Therefore, wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is desired. Conventionally, microwave power transfer and magnetic induction have been used for this purpose. Microwave power transfer technology utili...

We propose a loop switching technique to improve the efficiency of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems using magnetic resonance coupling. The proposed system employs several loops with different sizes, one of which is connected to the system with various distances between the transmitter and the receiver. It enables the coupling coefficient to be adjusted with the distance, which allows high ...

This study was conducted to illustrate that auscultation features based on the fractal dimension combined with wavelet packet transform (WPT) were conducive to the identification the pattern of syndromes of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The WPT and the fractal dimension were employed to extract features of auscultation signals of 137 patients with lung Qi-deficient pattern, 49 patients wi...

Determination of mutual inductance in the WPT system based on the electromagnetic coupling mode is crucial for system design and efficiency optimization. The analytic formulas and experimental methods which only aim at a coupling coil with a certain type of configuration and parameters are not universal approaches. Therefore they can’t serve as a design basis for the system optimization. This p...

Patients with schizophrenia perform poorly on cognitive skill learning tasks. This study is the first to investigate the neural basis of impairment in cognitive skill learning in first-degree adolescent relatives of patients with schizophrenia. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare activation in 16 adolescent siblings of patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) and 4...
