Reliable signal acquisition with low computational complexity is an important design objective for the evolution of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Most GNSS signals consist long pseudorandom noise (PRN) codes whose expensive in terms memory, computation time, and energy. As these resources are particularly scarce emerging mass-market user segment, cyclostationary pilot short PRN ...

conclusions both methods lia and sfnb provided excellent pain relief and lower morphine consumption following tka. lia is a surgeon-controlled analgesic technique, which can be used to enhance patients’ satisfaction and reduce the pain in the very early postoperative period by surgeon independently. results group i had significantly lower morphine consumption in the first postoperative day (10 ...

This study exatnined patterns of psychotropic medication use among 120 participants with intellectual disabilities (ID) who used to live in facilities and now reside in community-based settings in Ontario. There were significantly more participants taking psychotropic medication in the community (83.30/0) than in the facility (74.2%). Of those who showed change, 4.2% were taking medication in t...

The response surface metamodel is a useful sequential methodology for approximating the relationship between the input variables and the output response in computer simulation. Several strategies have been proposed to increase the accuracy of the estimation of the metamodel. In the current paper, we introduce an effective pseudo-random number (PRN) assignment strategy with Box-Behnken design to...

The results of randomized controlled clinical trials of ranibizumab for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration established a new standard of care with the prospect of improved vision in many patients. Subsequent trials have explored different strategies to increase response rates and reduce treatment frequency. This review analyzes the key clinical trial data for ranibizumab on the b...

Robustness is the one of the essential properties of watermarking schemes. It is the ability to detect the watermark after attacks. A DWT-based semi-blind image watermarking scheme leaves out the low pass band, and embeds a pseudo random number (PRN) sequence (i.e., the watermark) in the other three bands into the coefficients that are higher than a given threshold T1. During watermark detectio...

AIM: To assess the long-term outcomes of treating macular edema (ME) associated with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) a regimen “5+pro re nata (PRN)”. METHODS: This retrospective study included 27 eyes patients ME non-ischemic CRVO (non-iCRVO group, n=15) and ischemic (iCRVO n=12). The were treated five consecutive intravitreal injections conbercept or ranibizumab, followed by reinjections...

The Prnp gene encodes the cellular prion protein PrP(C). Removal of its ORF does not result in pathological phenotypes, but deletions extending into the upstream intron result in cerebellar degeneration, possibly because of ectopic cis-activation of the Prnd locus that encodes the PrP(C) homologue Doppel (Dpl). To test this hypothesis, we removed Prnd from Prnp(o/o) mice by transallelic meiotic...
