To provide rapid direction finding (DF) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) emitters in future wireless networks, a low-complexity of arrival (DOA) estimation architecture massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receiver arrays is constructed. In this paper, we propose two strategies to address the extremely high complexity caused by eigenvalue decomposition received signal covariance matri...

Background Athletes have a choice of different animal (e.g. whey, casein, egg, beef, fish) or plant protein (e.g. soy, rice, pea, hemp) sources, which differ in numerous ways such as the presence of allergens (lactose, soy), cholesterol, saturated fats, digestion rate (fast, intermediate, or slow absorption of amino acids), or the relative amount of individual amino acids. While digestibility o...

Clinical Engineering Department in hospitals need to take decision for Health Care Technology assessment which includes purchase, maintenance, use, and replacement. In this paper we proposed a analytical hierarchy processes -group decision making (AHP-GDM) model to prioritize the medical equipment for replacement. The model structure includes 11 quantitative and qualitative factors descending a...

When a carrier aggregation communication system suffers from receiving power imbalance (RPI) in its antenna array due to design flaw, operator’s negligence etc. the system performance may be degraded to an unacceptable level. Specifically in this paper a carrier aggregation communication system with two carrier links while one link suffers RPI is considered, various modulation techniques, such ...

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its tyrosine kinase receptor Met play a pivotal role in the tumor metastatic phenotype and represent attractive therapeutic targets. We investigated the biochemical and biological effects of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor RPI-1 on the human lung cancer cell lines H460 and N592, which express constitutively active Met. RPI-1-treated cells showed down-regulation ...

Diabetes detrimentally affects the musculoskeletal system by stiffening the collagen matrix due to increased advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In this study, tibiae and tendon from Zucker diabetic Sprague-Dawley (ZDSD) rats were compared to Sprague-Dawley derived controls (CD) using Atomic Force Microscopy. ZDSD and CD tibiae were compared using Raman Spectroscopy and Reference Point Inde...

3:00 p.m. with a pre-reception at 2:30 p.m. D’ Ambra Auditorium Established through the generosity of UAlbany Distinguished Professor Marlene Belfort and RPI Institute Professor Georges Belfort, the Life at the Interface of Science and Technology Endowed Lecture Series is designed to address fundamental questions that require the expertise of both Life Sciences and Engineering to answer. This c...

I examine the relationship between analysts’ use of public information and the performance of their stock recommendations. I construct a measure of analysts’ reliance on public information (RPI) based on the sensitivity of their recommendation revisions to quantitative variables that are known to predict returns. I find a strong negative relationship between analysts’ past RPI and their future ...
