The objective of this work is to design optimal codes for a 2 Dimensional Optical Code Division Multiple Access system (2D-OCDMA), and to test their robustness to noise perturbation. 2D coding is performed by Multi-Wavelength Optical Orthogonal Codes (MWOOC). They are obtained with our new construction method which permits to choose the code parameters with high flexibility. Different receiver ...

Standards can demonstrate technological and biological relevance, increase industry implementation support regulatory acceptance. This article will give you an overview on the state of play future needs in standardisation for OoC.

Abstract BACKGROUND Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgery for extra-axial lesions in elderly patients could be hampered by concerns regarding functional outcomes. However, an overall ageing society warrants improved approach. Intraoperative neuromonitoring is crucial facial nerve (FN) preservation: intraoperative cortico-bulbar motor evoked potentials (FMEPs) can effectively coupled to standard ...

OBJECTIVE Chronic constipation affects more than 17% of the global population worldwide, and up to 50% of patients were outlet obstruction constipation (OOC). Women and the elderly are most likely to be affected, due to female-specific risk factors, such as menopause, parity and multiparity. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of compartment defects in anorectal and pelvic f...

BACKGROUND Keratin-producing odontogenic cysts (KPOCs) are a group of cystic lesions that are often aggressive, with high rates of recurrence and multifocality. KPOCs included orthokeratinised odontogenic cyst (OOC) and parakeratotic odontogenic cysts, which are now considered true tumours denominated keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs). GLUT1 is a protein transporter that is involved in t...

In this paper, we are concerned about optimal (v, 4, 3, 2)-OOCs. A tight upper bound on the exact number of codewords of optimal (v, 4, 3, 2)-OOCs and some direct and recursive constructions of optimal (v, 4, 3, 2)-OOCs are given. As a result, the exact number of codewords of an optimal (v, 4, 3, 2)-OOC is determined for some infinite series. C © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Combin. Designs ...

Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) platforms recapitulate human in vivo-like conditions more realistically compared to many animal models and conventional two-dimensional cell cultures. OOC setups benefit from continuous perfusion of cultures through microfluidic channels, which promotes viability activities. Moreover, chips allow the integration biosensors for real-time monitoring analysis interactions res...

Manipulating magnetic anisotropy (MA) purposefully in transition metal oxides (TMOs) enables the development of oxide-based spintronic devices with practical applications. Here, we report a pathway to reversibly switch lateral easy-axis via interfacial oxygen octahedral coupling (OOC) effects 3d-5d tricolor superlattices, i.e. [SrIrO3,mRTiO3,SrIrO3,2La0.67Sr0.33MnO3]10 (RTiO3: SrTiO3 and CaTiO3...

This paper proposes new nonparametric hybrid exponentially weighted moving average (HEWMA) control charts based on simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set (RSS) techniques using the Wilcoxon rank-sum W statistic. The in-control robustness out-of-co...

Pravastatin reduce pro-inflammatory mediators in feto-maternal interface (FMi) tissues and minimize PE-like symptoms vitro animal models. Several questions remain regarding the drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK), metabolism, efficacy that cannot be fully answered using traditional 2D cell culture or placental perfusion models prior to clinical trials. We used two distinct microfluidic organ-on-chip (...
