In this report, we survey the landmark papers on the sum capacity of Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channels (BC). Three different groups have reached the same conclusion that the sum rate capacity of Gaussian MIMO BC is achieved by the dirty paper coding (DPC). In particular, we thoroughly investigate the approach which utilized the duality relation between the DPC ac...

Recently, the differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in STEM becomes a hot topic, since then the possibility of the DPC imaging at atomic resolution has been demonstrated [1]. The idea of the DPC imaging in STEM was proposed by Dekker and de Lang [2] and mainly used for a study of magnetic material in a medium resolution [3]. Müler et al. showed that the expectation value of the momentum tra...

As a relatively novel density-based clustering algorithm, Density peak (DPC) has been widely studied in recent years. DPC sorts all points descending order of local density and finds neighbors for each point turn to assign the appropriate clusters. The algorithm is simple effective but some limitations applicable scenarios. If difference between clusters large or data distribution nested struct...

The dynamic and static performance of the Shunt Active Filter depends strongly on adopted control methods. This paper deals with Virtual Flux Based Direct Power Control Methods for Shunt Active. Two commonly used VF-DPC algorithms (Fuzzy-DPC and classical DPC) are presented and discussed with respect to the resulting switching frequency, the harmonics compensation, the spectrum of the current s...

To determine the time and site of origin of the oligodendrocyte lineage in the developing human spinal cord, we have examined tissues from 45 to 83 d postconception (dpc) using sets of probes and antibodies recognizing oligodendrocyte-specific glycolipids, transcripts, and proteins. We found that two clusters of oligodendrocyte precursors appear on or before 45 dpc on each side of the cord vent...

Conventional direct power control (DPC) technique is a simple and efficient control strategy for three-phase PWM rectifier. However, its performance is deteriorated when the converter is supplied by unbalanced or distorted grid voltages. This paper describes the design and implementation of a new configuration of DPC based on disturbance rejection principle to achieve near-sinusoidal input curr...

Introduction Direct primary care (DPC), a fee for membership type of practice, is an evolving innovative primary care delivery model. Little is known about current membership fees, insurance billing status, physician training, and patient panel size in DPC practices. This study aimed to obtain current data for these variables, as well as additional demographic and financial indicators, and rela...

BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is a relatively common and highly belligerent childhood tumor with poor prognosis by current therapeutic approaches. A novel anti-cancer agent of the di-2-pyridylketone thiosemicarbazone series, namely di-2-pyridylketone 4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (Dp44mT), demonstrates promising anti-tumor activity. Recently, a second-generation analogue, namely di-2-pyridylketon...

The cytotoxicity of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) is largely ascribed to their ability to block the progression of DNA replication. DPCs frequently occur in cells, either as a consequence of metabolism or exogenous agents, but the mechanism of DPC repair is not completely understood. Here, we characterize SPRTN as a specialized DNA-dependent and DNA replication-coupled metalloprotease for DPC r...

The aim was to review the efficacy of the enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in direct pulp capping (DPC) procedures. Databases were explored using the following keywords: 'dental', 'dentine', 'enamel matrix derivative', 'pulp capping' and 'treatment'. The inclusion criteria were: (i) original studies; (ii) human and animal studies; (iii) reference list of potentially relevant original and review a...
