In a wireless network comprising some receivers and a truth-teller transmitter, an attacker adds a malicious evil-twin transmitter to the network such that the evil-twin lies about its true identity and transmits like the truth-teller transmitter in the network. The truth-teller transmitter may be a malicious transmitter as well, but it is honest in that it doesn’t lie about its identity. The e...

We have studied the origin of quantal variability for small synaptic vesicles (SSVs) and large dense-cored vesicles (LDCVs). As a model, we used serotonergic Retzius neurons of leech that allow for combined amperometrical and morphological analyses of quantal transmitter release. We find that the transmitter amount released by a SSV varies proportionally to the volume of the vesicle, suggesting...

A quantitative model for the transduction dynamics whereby intracellular transmitter in a vertebrate cone mediates between light input and voltage output is analyzed. A basic postulate is that the transmitter acts to multiplicatively gate the effects of light before the gated signal ever influences the cone potential. This postulate does not appear in the Baylor, Hodgkin, and Lamb (BHL) model o...

Phencyclidine (PCP) and some of its pharmacological congeners inhibit the signal transduction at specific excitatory amino acid receptors of cerebellar granule cells in primary cultures. These drugs do not bind to the transmitter recognition sites, and affinity of this specific binding site is increased by the presence of the transmitter bound to its recognition sites. PCP inhibits phosphatidyl...

A new visible light road-to-vehicle communication system at intersections is proposed for the area of ITS. In this system, the communication between a vehicle and an LED traffic light is conducted using an LED traffic light as a transmitter, and an on-vehicle high-speed camera as a receiver. The LEDs in the transmitter emit light in high frequency and those emitting LEDs are captured by the hig...

In this paper, we analyze the four-node relay wiretap channel, where the relay performs amplify-and-forward. There is no direct link between transmitter and receiver available. The transmitter has multiple antennas, which assist in securing the transmission over both phases. In case of full channel state information (CSI), the transmitter can apply information leakage neutralization in order to...

To operate a serial channel over copper wires at 4Gb/s, we incorporate an 4GHz FIR equalizing filter into a differential transmitter. The equalizer cancels the frequency-dependent attenuation caused by the skin-effect resistance of copper wire giving a frequency response that is flat to within 5% over the band from 200MHz to 2GHz even over wires with 6dB of high-frequency attenuation. All but t...

Fibromyalgia is considered a stress-related disorder, and hypo- as well as hyperactive stress systems (sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) have been found. Some observations raise doubts on the view that alterations in these stress systems are solely responsible for fibromyalgia symptoms. Cumulative evidence points at dysfunctional transmitter systems that may un...

Foreword Modern wireless systems include key technologies such as multiuser diversity, adaptive transmission, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing and cooperative data communication networks. Common for all these technologies is that the feedback of channel state information (CSI) is necessary, as it is exploited for adapting the transmission parameters, scheduling, etc. The CSI is ...

This work proposes a direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter with high transmission range and efficiency for audio signals. It is shown that by choosing high process gain for spread spectrum signal the data could reach a range of 55km in the 2.4GHz ISM band. By employing a light modulation scheme, we have a relaxed SNR requirement for having a low bit error rate (BER) which translates to re...
