To make better use of file diversity provided by random caching and improve the successful transmission probability (STP) of a file, we consider retransmissions with random discontinuous transmission (DTX) in a large-scale cache-enabled heterogeneous wireless network (HetNet) employing random caching. We analyze and optimize the STP in two mobility scenarios, i.e., the high mobility scenario an...

this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of pe in patients with v/q scans interpreted as representing a very low probability (vlp) of pe (1-3 small segmental perfusion defects with a normal chest radiograph). an analysis of the entire data set obtained during the pioped study was performed. of the total of 1,359 patients in whom the presence or absence of pe was confirmed, 80 (6%) p...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the imputation accuracy of parent-offspring trios under different scenarios. By using simulated datasets, the performance Bayesian LASSO in genomic prediction was also examined. The genome consisted of 5 chromosomes and each chromosome was set as 1 Morgan length. The number of SNPs per chromosome was 10000. One hundred QTLs were randomly distributed a...

The performance of base station adaptive antenna arrays (AAAs) is investigated in conjunction with fixed channel allocation (FCA) and dynamic channel allocation (DCA) schemes. Locally distributed DCA arrangements are studied and benchmarked against standard FCA, in the context of both line-of-sight (LOS) and multipath propagation environments. One-, two-, four-, and eight-element AAAs are emplo...

Introduction Sea level rise, especially combined with possible changes in storm surges and increased river discharge resulting from climate change, poses a major threat for a low-lying delta like the Netherlands. Future flood protection strategies need to take these possible changes into account. Therefore, high-impact, low-probability climate change scenarios for the Netherlands were developed...
