Ultra-reliable, low latency communications (URLLC) are currently attracting significant attention due to the emergence of mission-critical applications and device-centric communication. URLLC will entail a fundamental paradigm shift from throughput-oriented system design towards holistic designs for guaranteed and reliable end-to-end latency. A deep understanding of the delay performance of wir...

The metabolism-induced binding of 14C-labelled misonidazole (MISO) to hypoxic V79 cells in multicell spheroids has been quantitated using autoradiography. Hypoxia was shown to be the major determinant of the rate of binding. Maximally hypoxic cells bound MISO several times more rapidly than necrotic material in the centre of the spheroids, and up to 50 times more rapidly than well oxygenated ce...

The paper is concerned with the practical aspects of a unified approach to the identification and estimation of multiple–input, single–output (MISO) transfer function models for both continuous and discrete–time systems. The estimation algorithms considered in the paper are based on the Refined Instrumental Variable (RIV) approach to identification and estimation, where the MISO model denominat...

Soyasaponins have been reported to promote various health functions. However, the total soyasaponin and soyasapogenol content in soy products and the daily intake remain to be fully elucidated. We developed a high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometric (HPLC-MS/MS) method to evaluate the content of group A and B soyasaponins and soyasapogenols. The total soyasa...

In this paper, we address the problem of determining the order of MISO channels by means of a series of hypothesis tests based on scalar statistics. Using estimated 4th-order output cumulants, we exploit the sensitiveness of a Chi-square test statistic to the non Gaussianity of a stochastic process. This property enables us to detect the order of a linear finite impulse response (FIR) channel. ...

BACKGROUND Phytoestrogens may be associated with a reduced risk of hormone dependent neoplasms such as prostate and breast cancers. We tried to determine the validity of the association between serum phytoestrogen concentrations and dietary habits obtained from a food frequency questionnaire used in the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study (JACC Study) for Evaluation of Cancer Risk sponsored by the...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for solving the single-trial evoked potential (EP) estimation problem. In this method, the single-trial EP is considered as a complex containing many components, which may originate from different functional brain sites; these components can be distinguished according to their respective latencies and amplitudes and are extracted simultaneously by multip...

A current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA)-based multiple-input single-output (MISO) currentmode universal filter and a quadrature oscillator (QO) are presented in this paper. The same circuit is used in the filter and oscillator, which only consists of 2 CDTAs and 2 capacitors. The universal filter can realize low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop, and all-pass biquad filter ...

In 10GBASE-T system, far-end crosstalk (FEXT) interference results in a considerable loss in decision point signal-to-noise ratio (DP-SNR). Thus IEEE 802.3an work group suggests that FEXT interference must be suppressed by at least 20 dB to achieve the DP-SNR requirement. This paper proposes a novel transmitter-side-based multiple-input-single-output (MISO) FEXT cancellation architecture. The c...

The tumor microenvironment in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) plays a critical role in malignant tumor progression and treatment resistance. Among the microenvironment parameters that have shown to be relevant for treatment outcome are tumor cell hypoxia and proliferation. The DCE-MRI data provides insight into the tumor microenvironment (1). With proper compartmental model...
