With the rapid development of wireless communication, the spectrum resource becomes rare, and research on utilization of limited spectrum resource becomes more popular, especially in fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system. Some efficient frequency division multiplexing systems, such as spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) system, can improve spectrum utilizati...

To better describe the state of sea ice in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) with floes of varying thicknesses and sizes, both an ice thickness distribution (ITD) and a floe size distribution (FSD) are needed. In this work, we have developed a FSD theory that is coupled to the ITD theory of Thorndike et al. (1975) in order to explicitly simulate the evolution of FSD and ITD jointly. The FSD theory in...

ly, schema based data can be defined as a set of data (which is denoted as 'S') that satisfies the following properties: there exists a set of finite size of dimension (which is denoted as 'D') such that every element of S can be expressed as a linear combination of elements from D. Flexible schema based data is the negation of Schema based data. That is, there does NOT exit a set of finite siz...

BACKGROUND There is dearth of research about female sexual dysfunction (FSD), especially in China, because of conservative beliefs. Previous studies indicated the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and anxiety and depression. However, there is dearth of research regarding the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and FSD in Chinses women. METHOD A hospital-based researc...

INTRODUCTION The assessment and diagnosis of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) are in a state of transition because of evolving concepts of female sexuality and suggested changes to the FSD diagnostic framework. AIM To review the problems with current FSD diagnosis. METHODS Multidisciplinary experts from five countries were assembled to convene a "Postmenopausal FSD Roundtable on specific top...

INTRODUCTION Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a highly prevalent sexual health problem but poorly investigated at the primary care level. AIM This article examines the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its possible risk factors associated with women at high risk of FSD in a hospital-based primary practice. METHODS A validated Malay version of the Female Sexual Function Index (MVFSFI) w...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated associations among cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), female sexual dysfunction (FSD), and urinary incontinence (UI) in women with type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 580 women with T1DM in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study (DCCT/EDIC). CAN was d...

FSD-C10, a Fasudil derivative, was shown to reduce severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), through the modulation of the immune response and induction of neuroprotective molecules in the central nervous system (CNS). However, whether FSD-C10 can promote neuroregeneration remains unknown. In this study, we further analyzed the effe...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether smoking is a risk factor for female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and to determine the relationship between the cumulative smoking dose and FSD in premenopausal women. METHODS The study population consisted of sexually active premenopausal women. The frequency of FSD and female sexual function index (FSFI) total score were evaluated according to the smoking status (ne...

PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of flow-sensitive dephasing (FSD)-prepared steady-state free precession (SSFP) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 3 T for imaging infragenual arteries relative to contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A series of 16 consecutive patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) underwent...
