The advent of higher powered spacecraft amplifiers and better ground receivers capable of tracking spacecraft carrier signals with narrower loop bandwidths requires better understanding of the carrier tracking loss (radio loss) mechanism of the concatenated codes used for deep-space missions. In this article, we present results of simulations performed for a (7,1/2), Reed–Solomon (255,223), int...

People can learn a wide range of tasks from their own experience, but can also learn from observing other creatures. This can accelerate acquisition of new skills even when the observed agent differs substantially from the learning agent in terms of morphology. In this paper, we examine how reinforcement learning algorithms can transfer knowledge between morphologically different agents (e.g., ...

Background: Facial emotion recognition (FER) is impaired in individuals with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) when compared to healthy older adults. Since deficits in emotion recognition are closely related to caregiver burden or social interactions, researchers have fundamental interest in FER performance in patients with dementia. Purpose: The purpose of this study w...

A fluoride-assisted synthesis strategy to obtain nanorod-like FER-type zeolite crystals is successfully developed, which can provide the FER with high performance in 1-butene skeletal isomerization.

Neuropilins (NRPs) are receptors for the major chemorepulsive axonal guidance cue semaphorins (Sema). The interaction of Sema3A/NRP1 during development leads to the collapse of growth cones. Here we show that Sema3A also induces death of cultured cortical neurons through NRP1. A specific NRP1 inhibitory peptide ameliorated Sema3A-evoked cortical axonal retraction and neuronal death. Moreover, S...

In the field of material characterization, the neutron scattering technique is found to be useful in so many applications. This technique requires a position sensitive neutron detector (PSND) and their frontend readouts (FER) electronic to detect the position of neutron interactions. Normally, the PSND is designed for specific applications and has unique technical specifications. Therefore, it ...

The advances in wireless technology lead to the simultaneous growth in data speed with high accuracy in the field of communication. It is well known that, meeting the increased requirements of data rate in 4G technology is a complex task. So in order to meet these requirements a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system has been developed. Also MIMO-OSTBC system helps in improving accuracy a...

Ferroptosis is a form of regulated necrosis associated with the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides that may play a key role in the pathogenesis of degenerative diseases in which lipid peroxidation has been implicated. High-throughput screening efforts have identified ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) as potent inhibitors of ferroptosis - an activity that has been...
