Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods by Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

“…By comparing the MIMO and cooperative methods with point receivers, we reach the central result that it is always better, from a diversity gain point of view, to add more apertures to the source and destination rather than adding more relays in their vicinity despite the fact that the fading variance along FSO links decreases with the distance. For receivers that implement aperture averaging, we derive conditions under which MIMO techniques are unconditionally better than cooperative techniques with any network topology.…”

CRISPR-Cas Controls Cryptic Prophages by Sooyeon Song (4891132)

“…Similar results were obtained by inactivating CRISPR-Cas by deleting the entire 13 spacer region (CRISPR array); hence, CRISPR-Cas serves to inhibit the remaining deleterious effects of these cryptic prophages, most likely through CRISPR array-derived crRNA binding to cryptic prophage mRNA rather than through cleavage of cryptic prophage DNA, i.e., self-targeting. …”

A Risk-Based Multi-Objective Modeling Approach to the Preventive Maintenance Process of Roof Waterproofing System at Airports by Shehab, Bahaa

“…The purpose of this study is to: (a) determine current waterproofing systems and components of concrete roofs at airports, (b) explore frequently used techniques to design optimal preventive maintenance policies, and (c) derive an optimal preventive multi-objective risk-based maintenance strategy via simulation that can diminish failure costs, thereby decreasing the system’s overall maintenance costs. …”
