This paper describes development of a novel mid-infrared light emitting diode (LED) and photodiode (PD) light source/detector combination and use within a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) carbon dioxide gas sensor. The LED/PD based NDIR sensor provides fast stabilisation time (time required to turn on the sensor from cold, warm up, take and report a measurement, and power down again ≈1 second), l...

0)2-99-42-65-19 15/06/1999 This paper deals with modulation classification. Our goal is to discriminate single-carrier (SC) modulations from multicarrier (MC) modulations of OFDM type. Because MCmodulations are asymptotically Gaussian, we propose here a detector using the statistical test of G. Giannakis and M. Tsatsanis [9] based on fourth-order cumulants. This test is here adapted to the spec...

Purpose: In principle, nondiagnostic biopsies for pharmacodynamic (PD) studies are carried out to inform decision-making in drug development. Because such procedures have no therapeutic value, their ethical justification requires that results bepublished.Weaimed to assess the frequencyof nonpublicationof PD data in early phase cancer trials and to identify factors that prevent full publication ...

The migration metallic species between Al2O3 and CeO2-ZrO2 (CZ) is one of the main causes for deactiviation three-way catalysts (TWCs). In order to address this issue, κappa-phase κ-Ce2Zr2O8 was constructed strengthen Pd-CZ interaction thus stabilize palladium species. For comparison, tetragonal-phase Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 with phase (κCZ) without (tCZ) were prepared. (κCZ+Al2O3) supported catalyst (Pd/...

T his series of articles continues with an analysis of PLL synthesizer design trade-offs. The simple single-loop PLL synthesizer approach exhibits various limitations and trade-offs. Thus, achieving a good performance combination (e.g., small step size and low phase noise) usually requires more sophisticated solutions. The common design trade-offs as well as various methods to improve synthesiz...

PURPOSE Anti-PD1 and PD-L1 antibodies are associated with immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). This analysis aims to assess the discrepancies between frequencies of irAEs observed in phase 1 trials with those seen in late-phase trials and to evolve the field of drug development. METHODS PubMed search was conducted for articles published until December of 2016. Trials needed to have at leas...

We investigate the one-dimensional(1D) d-p model, simulating a Cu-O linear chain with strong Coulomb repulsion, by using the numerical diagonalization method. Using the Luttinger liquid theory, we obtained phase diagrams of the ground state on U d − U pd plane, where U d and U pd represent on-site interaction at d-sites and the nearest-neighbor interaction between p-and d-sites respectively. In...

Background The prognosis is poor for patients with cHL who relapse after autologous stem-cell transplant (auto-SCT) or progress after brentuximab vedotin (BV) therapy. cHL frequently harbors genetic amplification at 9p24.1, which leads to overexpression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on the tumor cell surface. This suggests that cHL may have a genetically determined dependence on the PD-1 pathway for survi...

This paper investigates noncoherent detection in a two-way relay channel operated with physical layer network coding (PNC), assuming FSK modulation and short-packet transmissions. For noncoherent detection, the detector has access to the magnitude but not the phase of the received signal. For conventional communication in which a receiver receives the signal from a transmitter only, the phase d...
