(Part Ib) Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, and in particular, Chronic Wasting Disease are devastating neuropathologic diseases caused by a unique, but unknown infective agent with high degree of refractivity to ordinary disinfectant and sterilization procedures. Amazingly, a fully described comparison of 28 TSE causal agent characteristics match remarkably well with 28 documented char...

The trapping layer refers to the atmospheric with vertical gradient of refractivity less than −157 N-Units/km or modified 0 M-unit/km, which has a significant impact on radar and radio communication systems. Based COSMIC other occultation data, we show statistical characteristics global during 2005–2020.The results that occurrence rate layers is mainly concentrated between 50°S 50°N, higher occ...

The fading characteristics during meteorological conditions such as rain and variations of the atmospheric refractivity for Line-of-Sight (LOS) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels are investigated. Measurements have been performed on two prototype LOS-MIMO links in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is showed that rain can be modelled as a fully correlated attenuation of the received MIMO signal...
