a complete procedure for the design of w-band low noise amplifier in mmic technology is presented. the design is based on a simultaneously power and noise matched technique. for implementing the method, scalable bilateral transistor model parameters should be first extracted. the model is also used for transmission line utilized in the amplifier circuit. in the presented method, input/output ma...

In this paper, we characterize and analyze the set of strategic stealthy false-data injection attacks on discretetime linear systems. In particular, the threat scenarios tackled in the paper consider adversaries that aim at deteriorating the system’s performance by maximizing the corresponding quadratic cost function, while remaining stealthy with respect to anomaly detectors. As opposed to oth...

This paper aims to introduce thermal energy storage technology into a solar-powered dual-packed bed desalination system. By prehesdating and reserving seawater during the daytime utilizing it at night, integrated system with innovative configuration can achieve freshwater electricity combined generation particularly realize continuous operations for water production. The detailed mathematical m...

Seven independently isolated glutathione reductase-deficient (gor) Escherichia coli mutants were found to have an in vivo glutathione redox state that did not significantly differ from that of the parental strain, 98 to 99% reduced. Strains containing both a gor mutation and either a trxA mutation (thioredoxin deficient) or a trxB mutation (thioredoxin reductase deficient) were able to maintain...

Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is a frequent comorbidity in many chronic respiratory conditions, particularly in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) [1]. However, the evidence that GOR contributes to the pathophysiology of IPF and that interventions aimed at controlling GOR may influence the evolution of lung fibrosis remains elusive. Despite that, the 2015 update of the American Thoracic Soci...

Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is defined as the involuntary passage of gastric contents into the oesophagus, and is a common cause of morbidity in childhood. GOR is an occasional physiological event in normal adults and children,1 2 but becomes pathological when its intensity or frequency increases or when complications arise (for example, oesophagitis, failure to thrive). GOR may be primary ...

Inspired by the free-energy brain theory (Friston, Kilner, and Harrison 2006), which implies that human visual system (HVS) tends to reduce uncertainty and restore perceptual details upon seeing a distorted image (Friston 2010), we propose restorative adversarial net (RAN), a GAN-based model for no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA). RAN, which mimics the process of HVS, consists of th...

BACKGROUND Gastrostomy feeding is a well established alternative method to long term nasogastric tube feeding. Many such patients have gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and require a fundoplication. A transgastric jejunal tube is an alternative when antireflux surgery fails, or is hazardous or inappropriate. AIMS To review experience of gastrojejunal (G-J) feeding over six years in two regional...

oesophageal reflux: in search of clear evidence-based indications Keady presents some updated guidelines on the drug treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). However, in order to provide clear management guidelines, we believe that the review should have first addressed the definition of GOR (ie, physiological) versus GORD (ie, pathological). In...
