Carrier frequency offset (CFO) and phase noise (PN) are major oscillator impairments in direct-conversion transceivers, and single-carrier frequency-division-multiple access (SC-FDMA) is the uplink transmission scheme in the longterm evolution (LTE) standard. We derive a new analytical expression for the normalized mean square error (NMSE) in asynchronous SC-FDMA systems under CFO and joint tra...

Abstract Background Chemoresistance is one of the main problems in treatment cancer. Periostin (PN) a stromal protein which mostly secreted from cancer associated fibroblasts tumor microenvironment and can promote progression including cell survival, metastasis, chemoresistance. The objective this study was to develop an anti-PN peptide bacteriophage library overcome PN effects breast (BCA) cel...

Objective: This study investigated the association between dietary intake of PUFAs and PN in the U.S. population. Research Design and Methods: We analyzed data from NHANES 1999-2004 for adults≥ 40 years with diagnosed diabetes, an assessment of PN and reliable 24-hour dietary recall. The dietary intake of PUFAs was analyzed by PN status. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to esti...

{0, 1}-valued random variables X1, . . . , Xn are drawn independently each from Bernoulli distribution with parameter p = 0.1. Define Pn := P( 1 n ∑n i=1Xi ≤ 0.2). (a) For n = 1 to 30 calculate and plot the below in the same plot (see [1, section 6.1] for definition of Hoeffding and Bernstein inequalities): i. Exact value of Pn (binomial distribution). ii. Normal approximation for Pn. iii. Hoef...

Parenteral nutrition (PN) has become essential in the management of sick and growing newborn populations in the NICU. In the past few decades, PN has become fundamental in the nutritional management of the very low birth weight infant (<1,500 g).1 Although the components in PN are commonly determined and ordered by the physician or neonatal nurse practitioner provider, the NICU nurse is respons...

The common envelope interaction is responsible for evolved close binaries. Among them are a minority of central stars of planetary nebula (PN). Recent observational results, however, point to most PN actually being in binary systems. We therefore ask the question if it is feasible that most, or even all Galactic PN derive from a common envelope interaction. Our recent calculation finds that if ...

Microorganisms from culture collections and isolates from nature were screened for the ability to catalyze the regioselective glucosylation of pyridoxine (PN) to produce pyridoxine 5'-alpha-D-glucoside (PN-5'-alpha-G) or pyridoxine 4'-alpha-D-glucoside (PN-4'-alpha-G). Transglucosylation activity specific to 5'-position of PN was found in fungi belonging to genera such as Coriolus and Verticill...

INTRODUCTION Parenteral nutrition (PN) is an important supportive therapy for critically ill patients who have non-functioning gut. However, it is an expensive therapy and carries significant complications. The objective of our audit was to determine the appropriateness of prescription of PN in our hospital, based on the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) 2002 guideli...

OBJECTIVE Protease-nexin 1 (PN-1) belongs to the serpin superfamily and behaves as a specific thrombin inhibitor in the pericellular environment. Little is known about PN-1 expression and its regulation in the vascular system. In this study, we examined the expression of functionally active PN-1 in vitro in rat aortic smooth muscle cells and in vivo in rat arterial media and its regulation in h...

The majority of cerebral signals destined for the cerebellum are handed over by the pontine nuclei (PN), which thoroughly reorganize the neocortical topography. The PN maps neocortical signals of wide-spread origins into adjacent compartments delineated by spatially precise distribution of cortical terminals and postsynaptic dendrites. We asked whether and how signals interact on the level of t...
