The Association between Vitamin D Receptor Expression and Prolonged Overall Survival in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Summary In this study, we analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and survival in a breast cancer patient cohort of 82 breast cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis was possible in 91.5% of the patients (75/82). Staining was evaluated using

Resource Allocation for IRS-Assisted Full-Duplex Cognitive Radio Systems [PDF]
In this article, we investigate the resource allocation design for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted full-duplex (FD) cognitive radio systems. In particular, a secondary network employs an FD base station (BS) for serving multiple half-duplex

Joint Transmit and Reflective Beamforming for IRS-Assisted Integrated Sensing and Communication [PDF]
This paper studies an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, in which one IRS with a uniform linear array (ULA) is deployed to not only assist the wireless communication from a multi-antenna base

IRS-Aided Wireless Powered MEC Systems: TDMA or NOMA for Computation Offloading? [PDF]
Anintelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided wireless-powered mobile edge computing (WP-MEC) system is conceived, where each device’s computational task can be divided into two parts for local computing and offloading to mobile edge computing (MEC ...

Mathematical Evaluation of Community Level Impact of Combining Bed Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying upon Malaria Transmission in Areas where the main Vectors are Anopheles Arabiensis Mosquitoes. [PDF]
Indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) are commonly used together even though evidence that such combinations confer greater protection against malaria than either method alone is inconsistent.

Cooperative Double-IRS Aided Communication: Beamforming Design and Power Scaling [PDF]
Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a promising technology to support high performance wireless communication. By adaptively configuring the reflection amplitude and/or phase of each passive reflecting element on it, the IRS can reshape the ...

Two Bipolar Outflows and Magnetic Fields in a Multiple Protostar System, L1448 IRS 3 [PDF]
We performed spectral line observations of CO J=2-1, 13CO J=1-0, and C18O J=1-0 and polarimetric observations in the 1.3 mm continuum and CO J=2-1 toward a multiple protostar system, L1448 IRS 3, in the Perseus molecular complex at a distance of ~250 pc,
