In this paper, we consider a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted two-way relay network, in which two users exchange information through the base station (BS) with help of an RIS. By jointly designing phase shifts at RIS and beamforming matrix BS, our objective is to maximize minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) users, under transmit power constraint BS. We first single-antenna BS c...

methods genomic dna of cultured s. agalactiae was prepared and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) primers were designed based on the camp gene in bacteria. the optimum primer set was selected based on the reaction speed and specificity. the reaction result was monitored visually. the sensitivity and specificity of the lamp method were evaluated and compared with polymerase chain reac...

conclusions species identification of trichophyton is crucially important for epidemiological and phylogenetic purposes and for genotype delineation. rca based on its polymorphisms can be used to generate identification barcodes and as an alternative to dna sequencing; it is a very fast, specific, and economical tool for species identification. results of the 61 putative trichophyton clinical i...

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-based communication networks promise to improve channel capacity and energy efficiency. However, the promised gains could be negligible for passive RISs because of double pathloss effect. Active can overcome this issue they have reflector elements with a low-cost amplifier. This letter studies active RIS-aided simultaneous wireless information power tran...

conventional methods for fungal identification in the clinical laboratory rely on morphological andphysiological tests. these tests often need several days or weeks to complete and are frequentlyunspecific. molecular identification mostly implies sequencing, which is relatively expensive andtime-consuming, as well as impractical for large numbers of isolates. the rolling circleamplification app...

despite the availability of various alkaline phosphatase (alp) isoenzymes, the calf enzyme is being used in current enzyme assays as the detector enzyme. the glycosylation pattern of this enzyme makes it a suitable ligand for binding to wheat germ agglutinin lectin (wga). as a result of this property, the enzyme can not be used as a conjugate with this lectin, and the calf enzyme conjugates can...

conclusions the analytical sensitivity of lamp and pcr methods, using the designed primers, was 8 times more than any other reported methods. the designed methods are specific and sensitive for detection of h. pylori in different clinical and environmental samples. results the detection limits of the lamp and pcr assay were similar and were 10 fg of pure dna of h. pylori, which is equal to 6 co...
