Objective(s): Taking advantage of high atomic number of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in radiation dose absorbing, many in vitro and in vivo studies have been carried out on using them as radio-sensitizer. In spite of noticeable dose enhancement by GNPs at keV energies, using this energy range for radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors is outdated. The aim of the present work was to examine the effect ...

The Very Large Array was used to observe the ultracool rapidly rotating M9 dwarf TVLM 513-46546 simultaneously at 4.88 GHz and 8.44 GHz. The radio emission was determined to be persistent, variable and periodic at both frequencies with a period of ∼ 2 hours. This periodicity is in excellent agreement with the estimated period of rotation of the dwarf based on its v sin i of ∼ 60 km s. This rota...

The paper investigates chirp pulse compression as a signal dimension reduction technique in non-coherent Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR–UWB) communications. Two common types of non-coherent IR–UWB detection are considered, energy detection of IR–UWB Pulse Position Modulated (PPM) symbols and sample-wise differential detection of Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) IR–UWB symbols, as well a...

A novel quasi-coherent noise jamming method is proposed against linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal and pulse compression radar. Based on the structure of digital radio frequency memory (DRFM), the jamming signal is acquired by the pseudo-random sequence phase-modulation of sampled radar signal. The characteristic of jamming signal in time domain and frequency domain is analyzed in detail....

The bandwidth and latency demands driven by 5G wireless networks are putting a focus on analog radio-over-fiber techniques as promising candidate for broadband optical fronthauling. In contrast to intensity modulation / direct detection systems, they commonly adopted mobile fronthaul links due their simplicity, we exploring migration option towards coherent transmission. A simplified homodyne r...

Based on definitions, two joint-criteria, namely, the optical-thin constraint and the energy budget constraint, are proposed to judge whether the emission nature of radio pulsars is incoherent or obligatory to be coherent. We find that the widely accepted criterion, kTB ≤ ǫ, is not a rational criterion to describe the optical-thin condition, even for the simplest case. The energy budget constra...

Radio emission from non-magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs, accreting white dwarfs) could allow detailed studies of outflows and possibly accretion flows in these nearby, numerous and non-relativistic compact accretors. Up to now, however, very few CVs have been detected in the radio. We have conducted a VLA pilot survey of four close and optically-bright novalike CVs at 6 GHz, detecting three...

We study the variability properties at radio frequencies of the jets thought to be typical of Active Galactic Nuclei, i.e. bulk Lorentz factor Γ ≈10, and incoherent synchrotron emission. We assume that the radiating electrons are accelerated at shocks within the jet, and that these shocks have a suitable (conical) geometry. In our framework, we can reproduce the variability pattern of Intra Day...
