Abstract: Due to the continuous increase in data demanded by end-users, an energy-efficient base station (BS) is a vital topic of interest that would not only result in a substantial economic impact on service providers, but would also reduce the carbon footprint of operating a network. In this regard, we propose the structure and systematic operation of a BS with a large-scale (LS) antenna sys...

BACKGROUND Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense is a commercially important medicinal plant which has been used for hundreds of years as an Ayurvedic medicine for the attempted treatment of arthritis. It contains naturally occurring triterpenoic acids, called as boswellic acids (BA's). RESULTS A highly reproducible High performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet diode array...

The main form of locomotion in the lamprey (a lower vertebrate, cyclostome) is forward swimming (FS) based on periodical waves of lateral body flexion propagating from head to tail. The lamprey is also capable of backward swimming (BS). Here we describe the kinematical and electromyographic (EMG) pattern of BS, as well as the effects on this pattern exerted by different lesions of the spinal co...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the biosurfactant BS-UC on surface properties of microbial cells and biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The biosurfactant BS-UC was produced by Candida antarctica from n-undecane as the substrate. It was found that the addition of BS-UC influenced positively the emulsification and the biodegradation of a variety of n-alkanes...

Nodes in a wireless sensor network scrutinize the nearby region and transmit their findings to the base station (BS) using multi-hop transmission. As the BS plays an important role in a wireless sensor network, therefore an adversary who wants to interrupt the operation of the network would avidly look for the BS location and imposes maximum damage by destroying the BS physically. The multi-hop...

A directional wideband measurement campaign was performed in urban macrocells at 2 GHz using a channel sounder and a 8-sensor linear antenna array at the base station. Directions of arrival at the Base Station (BS) were estimated by beamforming using the antenna array. Directions of arrival at the Mobile Station (MS) were estimated by beamforming using parts of the measurement route. Global par...

Chronic oxidative stress impairs regular defecation. Sulforaphane (SFN) enhances anti-oxidant systems, ameliorating oxidative injury. SFN inhibits overgrowth of anaerobic microflora and protects small intestine from oxidative injury. We assessed whether daily intake of SFN-rich broccoli sprouts (BS) improves defecation in humans. Forty-eight subjects, with a constipation scoring system (CSS) >2...

Brugada syndrome (BS) is associated with sudden cardiac death and the markers for ventricular fibrillation (VF) remain unclear, so the activation-recovery interval (ARI) dispersion and recovery time (RT) dispersion were investigated as possible markers in 20 subjects with BS (BS group) and 22 healthy individuals (H group). The 20 BS subjects were divided into 8 cases with documented VF (BS-VF g...
