The demand for wireless resources is increasing in high pace. Heterogeneous network (HetNet), which consists of cells with different coverage, e.g., macro cell base stations (BSs) and small cell BSs, is a key solution to address this increased demand. This paper presents a handover (HO) algorithm for BS sleep-wake mode, which reduces the energy consumption in HetNet. In the first phase of the H...

This study investigated the effects of alcoholic extract of Butea superba (BS) on cognitive deficits and depression-related behavior using olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) mice and the underlying molecular mechanisms of its actions. OBX mice were treated daily with BS (100 and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) or reference drugs, tacrine (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) and imipramine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) from day 3 after OBX. OBX i...

A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can shape the radio propagation environment by virtue of changing impinging electromagnetic waves towards any desired directions, thus, breaking general Snell's reflection law. However, optimal control RIS requires perfect channel state information (CSI) individual channels that link base station (BS) and mobile (MS) to each other via RIS. Thereby supe...

Although the diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome (GS) and Bartter syndrome (BS) is now feasible by genetic analysis, implementation of genetic testing for these disorders is still hampered by several difficulties, including large gene dimensions, lack of hot-spot mutations, heavy workup time, and costs. This study evaluated in a cohort of patients with genetically proven GS or BS diagnostic sensibil...

We have characterized the blistered (bs) locus phenotypically, genetically and developmentally using a set of new bs alleles. Mutant defects range from wings with ectopic veins and intervein blisters to completely ballooned wings where the distinction between vein and intervein is lost. Mosaic analyses show that severe bs alleles behave largely autonomously; homozygous patches having vein-like ...

BACKGROUND The characteristic ECG of Brugada syndrome (BS) can be masked by complete right bundle-branch block (CRBBB) and exposed by resolution of the block or pharmacological or pacing maneuvers. METHODS AND RESULTS The study consisted of 11 patients who had BS and CRBBB. BS was diagnosed before the development of CRBBB, on the resolution of CRBBB, or from new characteristic ST-segment chan...

The IEEE 802.16 technology (WiMAX) facing great challenges due to owning high mobility of mobile nodes, limited radio coverage of wireless devices, time varying nature of wireless medium. The transmission range of base station (BS) has a vital influence and must achieve the most economic case of energy in wireless networks. This paper investigates the effects of transmission range of BSs for tw...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the uptake and perioperative safety of bilateral salpingectomy (BS) as an ovarian cancer risk-reduction strategy in low-risk women after a regional initiative that was aimed at general gynecologists in the province of British Columbia, Canada. STUDY DESIGN This population-based retrospective cohort study evaluated 43,931 women in British Colum...

High-level spinal cord injury can lead to cardiovascular dysfunction, including disordered hemodynamics at rest and autonomic dysreflexia during noxious stimulation. To restore supraspinal control of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs), we grafted embryonic brainstem-derived neural stem cells (BS-NSCs) or spinal cord-derived neural stem cells (SC-NSCs) expressing green fluorescent protein ...
