Vagus nerve stimulation parameters evoke differential neuronal responses in the locus coeruleus
Physiological Reports, 2023 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy and depression, with additional applications under investigation. The noradrenergic center locus coeruleus (LC) is vital for VNS effects; however, the impact of varying stimulation ...

Spectral Shape of Doubly-Generalized LDPC Codes: Efficient and Exact Evaluation [PDF]
, 2013 This paper analyzes the asymptotic exponent of the weight spectrum for irregular doubly-generalized LDPC (D-GLDPC) codes. In the process, an efficient numerical technique for its evaluation is presented, involving the solution of a 4 x 4 system of ...

Improving soft FEC performance for higher-order modulations via optimized bit channel mappings [PDF]
, 2014 Soft forward error correction with higher-order modulations is often implemented in practice via the pragmatic bit-interleaved coded modulation paradigm, where a single binary code is mapped to a nonbinary modulation.

Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation alters neural response and physiological autonomic tone to noxious thermal challenge. [PDF]
, 2019 The mechanisms by which noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) affect central and peripheral neural circuits that subserve pain and autonomic physiology are not clear, and thus remain an area of intense investigation.

On Frame Asynchronous Coded Slotted ALOHA: Asymptotic, Finite Length, and Delay Analysis [PDF]
, 2016 We consider a frame asynchronous coded slotted ALOHA (FA-CSA) system for uncoordinated multiple access, where users join the system on a slot-by-slot basis according to a Poisson random process and, in contrast to standard frame synchronous CSA (FS-CSA),
