A quality of experience-aware association algorithm for 5G heterogeneous networks by Trakas, Panagiotis

“…The applications' various Quality of Service (QoS) requirements as well as the use of multiple devices per user have increased the traffic heterogeneity, pressing the telecommunications industry to the deployment of 5G networks in 2020. At the same time, the rise of OTT providers has also led to the decrease of the Mobile Network Operators' (MNOs) revenues. …”

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. …”

The expression of bile acid Receptor TGR5 in Adipose Tissue in Diet-induced obesity mice by Ahmed, Sumaya

“…In addition, bile acids are responsible of signal transduction as well as metabolic regulation that activate several receptors such as farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the membrane G-protein receptor 5 (TGR5). Activation of TGR5 by bile acids is associated with prevention of obesity as well as ameliorating the resistance to insulin via increasing energy expenditure. …”

The Impact of Pamam Dendrimers on Her2-Positive Breast Cancer and the Early Stages of Embryogenesis by Kheraldine, Hadeel

“…PAMAMs exhibited significant anti-cancer effects that were more pronounced with cationic (-NH2) dendrimers, compared to neutral (-OH) or anionic (-COOH) and were greater in cationic G6 compared to cationic G4. Cationic G6 PAMAMs significantly decreased the viability of HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines down to 5.1% in SK-BR3 and to 5.7% in ZR-75 cells (p<0.001), in a dose and time-dependent fashion. …”

Follow up and comparative assessment of IgG, IgA, and neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 between mRNA-vaccinated naïve and unvaccinated naturally infected individuals ov... by Salma, Younes

“…At the 7th month, there was a significant decline in antibody responses among VN individuals, but not NI individuals, with a minimum decrease of 3.7-fold (p < 0.001). Among VN individuals, anti-S1 IgA levels began to decrease significantly (1.4-fold; p = 0.007) after two months, and both NtAb and S-RBD IgG levels began to decline significantly (NtAb: 2.0-fold; p = 0.042, S-RBD IgG: 2.4-fold; p = 0.035) after three months. …”
