PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate the relationships between change in white matter (WM) anisotropy and (a) patient age at craniospinal irradiation (CSI), (b) CSI dose, and (c) time of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging since CSI and to determine the effect of these neurotoxicity risk factors on WM anisotropy in posttreatment medulloblastoma survivors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Informed consent was o...

BACKGROUND Cerebral state index (CSI) has recently been introduced as an intra-operative monitor of anaesthetic depth. We compared the performance of the CSI to the bispectral index (BIS) in measuring depth of anaesthesia during target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol. METHODS Twenty Chinese patients undergoing general anaesthesia were recruited. CSI and BIS, and predicted effect-site co...

BACKGROUND The major difficulty in postoperative care in patients after craniotomy is to distinguish the intracranial deficits from the residual effect of general anesthesia. In present study, we used cerebral state index (CSI) monitoring in patients after craniotomy with delayed recovery, and evaluated the prediction probability of CSI for long-term postoperative unconsciousness. METHODS We ...

This paper proposes various power allocation algorithms for nonregenerative cooperative multi-input multi-output system, which have been optimised based on mutual information for different levels of channel state information (CSI) available at the base station (BS) and at the relay station (RS). Four different CSI settings have been studied in this paper : CSI of both the first and second hop c...

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) algorithm dedicated to reduce the feedback frequency of the channel state information (CSI). There have been already plenty of works on AMC so as to exploit the bandwidth more efficiently with the CSI feedback to the transmitter. However, in some occasions, frequent CSI feedback is not favorable in these systems. This work c...

This paper investigates power splitting for fullduplex relay networks with wireless information and energy transfer. By applying power splitting as a relay transceiver architecture, the full duplex information relaying can be powered by energy harvested from the source-emitted radio frequency signal. In order to minimize outage probability, power splitting ratios have been dynamically optimized...

We have found that chromosaponin I (CSI), a gamma-pyronyl-triterpenoid saponin isolated from pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Alaska), specifically interacts with AUX1 protein in regulating the gravitropic response of Arabidopsis roots. Application of 60 microM CSI disrupts the vertically oriented elongation of wild-type roots grown on agar plates but orients the elongation of agravitropic mutant aux1-...

In multiple-input multiple-output–orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO–OFDM) communications, the channel state information (CSI) of the forward link at each subcarrier is needed for precoder design at the transmitter to achieve the maximal diversity and/or multiplexing gains. In frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, the CSI needs to be estimated at the receivers and fed back to t...
