Analog network coding (ANC) is a promising technique of improving the throughput of relaying, especially when combined with both rate- and power-adaptation in the context of amplify-and-forward two-way relaying (AF-TWR ).In particular, the adaptation is Accessories employed both during the multiple access stage, when a pair of terminals transmit si
Functionalized Graphene from Electrochemical Exfoliation of Graphite toward Improving Lubrication Function of Base Oil
Electrochemical exfoliation of graphene is an environmentally friendly method, which enables mass production.Herein, three ionic liquids (ILs) with the same imidazole cation were used to exfoliate graphite into functionalized graphene, as a lubricant additive in an acetonitrile solution.Chemical and structural characterization revealed the relation
Reconfiguration of Brain Network Dynamics in Autism Spectrum Disorder Based on Hidden Markov Model
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of complex neurodevelopment disorders characterized by altered brain connectivity.However, the majority of neuroimaging studies for ASD focus on the static pattern of brain function and largely neglect brain activity dynamics, which might provide deeper insight into the underlying mechanism of brain functio
Parametric updates in parametric timed automata
We introduce a new class of Parametric Timed Automata (PTAs) where we allow clocks to be compared to parameters in guards, as in classic PTAs, but also to be updated to parameters.We focus here on the EF-emptiness problem: "is the set of parameter valuations for which some given location is reachable in the instantiated timed automaton empty?".This
