This set of contributions is addressing the impact of cognitive radio on the regime of radio spectrum governance. To avoid harmful interference the current paradigm of spectrum governance uses the principle of separation. Thereby each application and user or user group is being assigned a specific part of the spectrum, using the dimensions of frequency, time and location. Cognitive radio, a spe...

Is the standard singlet Higgs a true massive field ? Abstract The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking admits a physical interpretation in terms of the Bose-condensation process of elementary spinless quanta. In a cutoff theory, this leads to a picture of the vacuum as a condensed medium whose excitations might deviate from exact Lorentz covariance in both the ultraviolet and infrared re...

The International Linear Collider (ILC) is likely to provide us important insights into the sector of physics that may supersede our current paradigm viz., the Standard Model. In anticipation of the possibility that the ILC may come up in the middle of the next decade, several groups are vigourously investigating its potential to explore this new sector of physics. The Linear Collider Workshop ...

BACKGROUND Interferon is approved for adjuvant treatment of patients with stage IIB/III melanoma. The identification of predictive markers that would permit selection of patients would be beneficial. Specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II antigens have previously shown an association with response to therapy or overall survival of patients with metastatic melanoma. METHODS A to...

BACKGROUND The recent re-emergence of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in India after 32 years and its worldwide epidemics with unprecedented magnitude raised a great public health concern. METHODS AND FINDINGS In this study, a biological comparison was carried out between a novel 2006 Indian CHIKV outbreak strain, DRDE-06 and the prototype strain S-27 in mammalian cells in order to understand their...

We studied the long-term features of earthquakes caused by a fault system in northern Adriatic sea that experienced series quakes beginning with two main shocks magnitude 5.5 and 5.2 on 9 November 2022 at 06:07 06:08 UTC, respectively. This offshore system, identified through seismic reflection profiles, has low slip rate 0.2–0.5 mm/yr. As historical record spanning millennium does not extend b...

This document describes the activities performed in WP2 Simulation in the second year of the CATNETS project. In particular, it focuses on the two tasks which WP2 was supposed to work on namely, “Simulator enhancement to support new architecture properties” and “Simulation of application layer networks and refinement”.

Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Setting: National Hospital Medical Centre, Lahore Sampling Technique: Consecutive non-probability sampling duration: 06-02-18 to 06-08-18 Methodology: The cases with age range 16 60 years either gender ASA st...

INTRODUCTION Prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with a wide spectrum of adverse effects known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Diagnosing an infant who has been exposed to alcohol in utero can be an extremely difficult task since often, the effects of gestational drinking on the fetus may not be clinically evident at birth or shortly thereafter. In less apparent cases of FASD whe...
