in this paper, dynamic analysis of the composite truncated sandwich conical shells (stcs) with various boundary conditions subjected to low velocity impact was studied analytically, based on higher order sandwich panel theory. impact was assumed to occur normally over to the top face-sheet and the contact force history is predicted using two solution models of the motion are derived based on ha...

Abstract Although photovoltaic (PV) devices are rated at standard testing conditions (STCs), these STCs rarely met, either outdoors, or when PV used for indoor applications. Thus, it is beneficial to fully characterise the linearity of with respect irradiance. Moreover, high accuracy measurements essential reference cells (RCs), as they ensure precision measured This work presents a new techniq...

This paper reviews multi-dimensional space-time multilevel codes (ST-MLCs). Basic construction methods, including conventional STCs. The spacetime multilevel encoders partition a dimensional signaling space, which spans all transmit antennas. Complexity of detection/ decoding can be reduced by multi-dimensional partitioning. Space time multistage decoder for the proposed ST-MLCs is reviewed. Th...

Terrestrial LiDAR scanning (TLS) has in preceding years emerged as one of the most accurate and reliable geospatial methods for creation very-high resolution (VHR) models over gullies other complex geomorphic features. Rough terrain morphology rapid erosion induced spatio-temporal changes (STCs) can lead to significant challenges multi-temporal field TLS surveys. In this study, we present a new...

BACKGROUND The availability of a dual sodium glucose co-transporter 2/dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor combination in a single-tablet combination (STC) represents a new therapeutic option for patients with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin/linagliptin STC has been recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). AIM The aim of this st...

34 One of the most important functions of astrocytes is removal of glutamate released 35 during synaptic transmission. Surprisingly, the mechanisms by which astrocyte 36 glutamate uptake is acutely modulated remain to be clarified. Astrocytes express 37 metabotropic glutamate and other G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are 38 activated during neuronal activity. Here we test the hypothes...

Purpose of this study was to evaluate with diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) changes of radial diffusivity (RD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) in the optic nerve (ON) and optic radiation (OR) in glaucoma and to determine whether changes in RD and FA correlate with disease severity. Therefore, glaucoma patients and controls were examined using 3T. Regions of interest were positioned on RD and FA ma...

Automatic Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) schemes are extensively used in communication systems and computer networks to achieve reliable transmission. Using space-time codes (STCs) with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) or multiple input single output (MISO) systems is an effective way to combat multipath fading, which is the most severe impairment for wireless communication systems. STCs are designe...

Cooperative communications are effective in improving the performance and extend the coverage of wireless networks. One issue is to find proper methods to allocate cooperative nodes. In this paper we investigate the effects of relay position and power allocation strategy in cooperative communications employing space-time codes (STCs). We consider non-ideal links between source, relay, and desti...
