Nanonetworks consist of nano-sized communicating devices which are able to perform simple tasks at the nanoscale. The limited capabilities of individual nanomachines and the Terahertz (THz) band channel behavior lead to error-prone wireless links. In this paper, a cross-layer analysis of error-control strategies for nanonetworks in the THz band is presented. A mathematical framework is develope...

This paper argues that generalizations concerning the cross-linguistic distribution of fine-grained (and possibly abstract) properties of syntactic structure have an important role to play in the quantitative study of morpho-syntactic change. It is well-documented that the study of differences in grammaticality contrasts across the world's languages has implications for the synchronic study of ...

In freeze-fracture (FF) preparations of ADH-stimulated toad urinary bladder, characteristic intramembrane particle (IMP) aggregates are seen on the protoplasmic (P) face of the luminal membrane of granular cells while complementary parallel grooves are found on the exoplasmic (E) face . These IMP aggregates specifically correlate with ADH-induced changes in water permeability . Tubular cytoplas...

Most formal models of deliberative democracy posit actors who want to guide a collective choice. This assumption stands in stark contrast to deliberative democratic theory as it was originally developed. The baseline non-formal model of this theory is the ideal speech situation, in which actors aim to understand and be understood, rather than to manipulate the outcome (Cohen 1989, Habermas 1990...

Background: Trigeminal neuropathy is a rare, devastating condition that can be intractable and resistant to treatment. When medical treatment fails, invasive options are limited. Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is a relatively recent technique introduced to treat central neuropathic pain. The use of MCS to treat trigeminal neuropathic or deafferentation pain is not widespread and clinical data i...

This paper addresses the problem of uncoded multiple access (MA) joint detection for the case in which user signatures are linearly dependent. The linearly dependent scenario would occur when the number of users in a communication system is increased beyond the dimension of the signal space available for transmission. This "over-saturating" of the signal space can, in principle, be accomplished...
