Secrecy Performance of a RIS-Assisted Wireless Network: A Comprehensive Analysis Under Outdated CSI حسب Tasneem Alshamaseen (22392382)

"…The obtained results demonstrate that the adopted system can achieve an acceptable SOP level even with 10% outdated CSI (i.e., <i>ρ</i>=0.9 ). This resilience indicates that the system can reduce channel estimation frequency to reconfigure the RIS, thus decreasing overall system overhead and complexity and improving energy efficiency. …"

Orofacial Clefts حسب El Baba, Nada

"…We found no significant differences in the proliferative abilities of the patient-derived cells and the healthy cells. The striking difference in behavior was related to cell migration, whereby the patient-derived cells showed decreased motility, increased adhesion, and a general loss of polarity compared to the healthy cells. …"
