Future radio access networks (RANs) will activate and deactivate base stations (BSs) depending on the activity of users to conserve energy. Reducing the fraction of time a BS is enabled will reduce the energy consumption of the RAN. Using cooperative transmissions from BSs allows to reach user equipment (UE) that is not in range of any single BS. When some BSs cooperate, other BSs can be deacti...

Use of Bacillus sphaericus Neide (Bs) as potential biolarvicide in developing countries is limited due to development of resistance by target mosquitoes. Efforts are taken to look for appropriate formulations or combination of Bs to prevent or delay resistance problem. Here, we report the efficacy of a formulated Bs product to kill Bs resistant Culex quinquefasciatus Say larvae. The laboratory ...

unique opportunity to study the poorly-known Bs meson. Three analyses, using a sample of 23.6 fb−1, are presented. We report the first observation of the three dominant exclusive Bs decays, Bs → D∗− s π+, Bs → Ds ρ+ and Bs → D∗− s ρ+, the first observation of the CP-eigenstate decay Bs → J/ψ η , and the results from a study of the charmless Bs → K+K−, Bs → K+π−, Bs → π+π− and Bs → K0 S K0 S dec...

Traditional supervised band selection (BS) methods mainly consider reducing the spectral redundancy to improve hyperspectral imagery (HSI) classification with class labels and pairwise constraints. A key observation is that pixels spatially close to each other in HSI have probably the same signature, while pixels further away from each other in the space have a high probability of belonging to ...

Smart environment is widely applied and it is the most important application of wireless sensor networks. Reduction of the energy consumption problem is the key to developing WSN. In the cluster based of energy-efficient method, the fixed cluster head number, the energy of node and the transmission distance are the keys to extending the network lifetime. We propose an improved grouping protocol...

pluronic/bile salt/phospholipid mixed micelles (pluronic/bs/ps-mm) drug carrier system for solubilization hydrophobic drugs was developed. a typical hydrophobic compound, pyrene, was selected as a representative hydrophobic compound to model the hydrophobic drugs. five pluronics, f68, f88, f98, f108, and f127 with different ppo chain length were studied. cmc data and solubilization capacities w...

The present study describes the establishment of both Band T-cell lines from the peripheral blood cells of two Bloom's syn drome (BS) patients and one healthy female by using EpsteinBarr (EBV) and adult T-cell leukemia viruses (ATLV). The cell lines from normal and BS subjects exhibited cell surface markers compatible with Band T-cell origin; in addition, the BS Band T-cell lines retained the o...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of serum-derived immunoglobin (Ig) source and the effect of colostrum supplementation with serum-derived Ig on the attainment of passive immunity in newborn colostrum-deprived calves. In experiment 1, colostrum-deprived Holstein bull calves were fed pooled colostrum (PC, n = 9), spray-dried bovine serum (BS, n = 11), or spray- dried porci...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females in Nigeria. The concept of breast screening (BS) is that it would result in presentation at earlier stages. We evaluated the impact of BS on early detection and presentation of breast cancer and determined the aspects BS need improvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with a diagnosis of malignant breast lump attending c...

The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of implementing routine national calving ease (CE) genetic evaluations of Brown Swiss (BS) and Jersey (JE) sires that include records of crossbred calvings. Records were available for 11,793 BS calvings, 3431 BS-sired crosses, 65,293 JE calvings, and 7090 JE-sired crosses. Evaluations were performed for each breed using only purebred ca...
