Towards energy efficient and quality of service aware cell zooming in 5G wireless networks by Lateef, Hafiz Yasar

“…The exponential growth of mobile data traffic would lead to dense deployment of small base stations and eventually higher energy consumption in Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks. We formulate a dynamic cell zooming and base stations sleep optimization algorithm for dense heterogeneous networks as a Linear Programming (LP) problem in order to not only minimize the system power consumption but also to guarantee the quality of service to end user. …”

Impact of time synchronization error on the mode-shape calculation in wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring by Abdaoui, Abderrazak

“…In order to decrease the size of the transmitted data by the sensor nodes and reduce the processing load and needed storage capacity on the central unit, we adopt a semi-local processing approach where each node partially processes the measured data. …”

Signaling pathways activated by PACAP in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by Zibara, Kazem

“…In addition, PACAP increased the phosphorylation levels of STAT1, Src and Raf within seconds, confirming their involvement in early stages of PACAP signaling whereas maximal phosphorylation of AKT, ERK and p38 was reached 10 to 20 min later. Moreover, selective inhibition of Src or PI3K resulted in a significant decrease in the phosphorylation of ERK and AKT, but not p38, demonstrating that PACAP signaling follows Src/Raf/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. …”

Low levels of Vitamin D during pregnancy associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and low birth weight: results from the MAASTHI birth cohort by Deepa, R.

“…For every one-unit increase in Vitamin D levels, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) decreased by nearly 18%. Furthermore, causal mediation analysis showed that a decrease in one unit of Vitamin D is associated with a decrease of 0.015 units of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and 0.019 units of postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) as it flows through the mediator variable insulin resistance. …”

Influence of the heteroatom on the optoelectronic properties and transistor performance of soluble thiophene-, selenophene- and tellurophene-vinylene copolymers by Al-Hashimi, Mohammed

“…The optical band gap of the polymers is shown to systematically decrease as the size of the heteroatom is increased, mainly as a result of a stabilization of the LUMO energy, resulting in a small band gap of 1.4 eV for P3TeV. …”
