design and optimization of a single crystalline silicon (c-si) solar cell is performed to achieve the maximum light conversion efficiency. various parameters such as doping concentration and thicknesses, and geometrical dimension of surface pyramids are studied. the inverted surface pyramid is used to increase the efficiency of the solar cell, and engineered oxide layer is used as the passivati...

in this paper, downlink resource allocation for a sparse code multiple access (scma) based heterogeneous  cellular networks (hcn) is investigated. the main aim of this paper is to obtain joint power allocation and codebook assignment to achieve the least total system transmit power. in this regard, the proposed objective function is formulated as total transmit power subject to users minimum ra...

BACKGROUND Early school success is clearly related to later health. A prediction index that uses parent report to assess children's risk for poor academic achievement could potentially direct targeted service delivery to improve child outcomes. METHODS We obtained risk factors through literature review and used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child Files to examine the predicti...
