The effort to confine the electromagnetic field by silicon passive metadevices has made design of an on-chip wideband sub-terahertz (sub-THz) I/O redriver feasible, paving a new way toward energy-efficient and crosstalk-immune ON–OFF keying (OOK) communications. Two metadevices, namely spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) metawaveguide split-ring resonator (SRR), are exploited build sub-THz ...

Conservation policy in the giant Galápagos tortoise, an iconic endangered animal, has been assisted by genetic markers for ~15 years: mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite loci have been used to delineate thirteen (sub)species, between which hybridization is prevented. Here, comparative reanalysis of a previously published NGS data set reveals a conflict with traditional markers. Genetic diversi...

APCO Project 25 (“P25”) is a suite of wireless communications protocols used in the US and elsewhere for public safety two-way (voice) radio systems. The protocols include security options in which voice and data traffic can be cryptographically protected from eavesdropping. This paper analyzes the security of P25 systems against both passive and active adversaries. We found a number of protoco...

The onboard computer, various subsystems and the data handling system of a spacecraft can be viewed as the nodes of a sensor/actuator network. Wireless sensor networks for monitoring and control have been in existence for several years, however, their adoption to space applications is still under discussion. Despite the fact that many communication protocols with adequate power and reliability ...

The term structure of interest rates is the primary transmission channel of monetary policy. Under the expectations hypothesis, anticipated settings of the short-term interest rate controlled by the central bank are the main determinants of nominal bond rates. Historical experience suggests that bond rates may remain relatively high even if the short-term interest rate is reduced to zero, in pa...

In this paper, the average achievable rate and error probability of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided systems is investigated for finite blocklength (FBL) regime. The performance loss due to presence phase errors arising from limited quantization levels as well hardware impairments at RIS elements also discussed. First, composite channel containing direct path plus product reflec...

Little is known to date regarding how the framing of investment communication impacts retail investor propensity engage with financial products. To explore this lacuna, we apply insights from regulatory focus theory and construal level theory, vary communications in terms motivation (protect vs. achieve) time horizon (distant near) presented a 2 × quasi-experimental design. We also include an a...
