Downlink Interference Analysis of UAV-Based mmWave Fronthaul for Small Cell Networks by Dabiri, Mohammad Taghi

“…Using numerical results show that the analytical and simulation results match one another. The results show that, in the presence of UAV's fluctuations, optimizing radiation pattern shape requires balancing an inherent tradeoff between increasing pattern gain to reduce the interference as well as to compensate large path loss at mmWave frequencies and decreasing it to alleviate the adverse effect of a UAV's vibrations.…”

Guidelines for Patients with Bleeding Disorders Undergoing Dentalveolar Surgeries by Amirova, Mahira

“…Prolongation of bleeding time can seriously complicate the patient’s condition during and after surgery, especially if there is iron deficiency anemia or any other condition accompanied by a decrease in hematopoiesis. For this reason, the dentist surgeon must be aware about the presence of such diseases in advance, in order to prevent the development of bleeding and its undesirable consequences promptly. …”

Insights Into the Role of CircRNAs: Biogenesis, Characterization, Functional, and Clinical Impact in Human Malignancies by Nisar, Sabah

“…Because of the structural stability, high expression, availability of microRNA (miRNA) binding sites and tissue-specific expression, circRNAs have become hot topic of research in RNA biology. Compared to the linear RNA, circRNAs are produced differentially by backsplicing exons or lariat introns from a pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) forming a covalently closed loop structure missing 3′ poly-(A) tail or 5′ cap, rendering them immune to exonuclease-mediated degradation. …”
