Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as a promising technology for achieving high spectrum and energy efficiency in future wireless communication networks. In this paper, we investigate an RIS-aided single-cell multi-user mobile edge computing (MEC) system where RIS is deployed to support the between base station (BS) equipped with MEC servers multiple single-antenna users. To u...

e nergy consumption has increased significantly in iran during the recent decades. in this study, an inter-industrial model has been improved to investigate the sources of the changes in the energy consumption of the country. the input-output tables of iran for the years 1988 and 2001 have been employed as the database of the model. the innovation of this research allows the researchers to stud...

black tea sample was dried by a vibro-fluidized bed dryer to find its aerodynamic behavior and thermal performance during drying. the drying experiments were conducted at three different inlet air temperatures of 100, 115 and 130°c and fluidization condition at five vibration intensity levels of 0 (no vibration), 0.063, 0.189, 0.395 and 1.184. the results showed that bed channeling and defluidi...

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted multi-access edge computing (MEC) has become one promising solution for energy-constrained devices to run the applications with high computation demand and stringent delay requirement in beyond 5G era. In this work, we study a multi-UAV-assisted two-stage MEC system which UAVs provide relaying services mobile devices. Due limited resources, each UAV execut...

We consider radio applications where the nodes operate on batteries so that energy consumption must be minimized while satisfying given throughput and delay requirements. In this context, we analyze the best modulation strategy to minimize the total energy consumption required to send a given number of bits. The total energy consumption includes both the transmission energy and the circuit ener...

With the growing demand for latency-critical and computation-intensive Internet of Things (IoT) services, IoT-oriented network architecture, mobile-edge computing (MEC), has emerged as a promising technique to reinforce computation capability resource-constrained IoT devices. To exploit cloud-like functions at edge, service caching been implemented reuse task input/output data, thus effectively...

The Caenorhabditis elegans DEG/ENaC proteins MEC-4 and MEC-10 transduce gentle touch in the six touch receptor neurons . Gain-of-function mutations of mec-4 and mec-4(d) result in a hyperactive channel and neurodegeneration in vivo Loss of MEC-6, a putative DEG/ENaC-specific chaperone, and of the similar protein POML-1 suppresses the neurodegeneration caused by a mec-4(d) mutation. We find that...
