Wireless energy harvesting (WEH) provides an exciting way to supply energy for relay nodes to forward information for the source-destination pairs. In this paper, we investigate the problem on how… (More)
The time-varying feature of wireless channels usually makes the hard delay bound for data transmissions unrealistic to guarantee. In contrast, the statistically-bounded delay with a small violation… (More)
We essentially achieve Birkhoff’s program for q-difference equations by giving three different descriptions of the moduli space of isoformal analyt ic classes. This involves an extension of… (More)
Pressure has an essential role in the production and control of superconductivity in iron-based superconductors. Substitution of a large cation by a smaller rare-earth ion to simulate the pressure… (More)
Chemical genetic analysis of protein kinases involves engineering kinases to be uniquely sensitive to inhibitors and ATP analogs that are not recognized by wild-type kinases. Despite the successful… (More)
The monovalent ions Na(+) and K(+) and Cl(-) are present in any living organism. The fundamental thermodynamic properties of solutions containing such ions is given as the excess (electro-)chemical… (More)
Buried channel waveguides have been fabricated in Nd:GGG crystals by using the femtosecond laser inscription. The waveguides are confined between two filaments with propagation losses of 2.0 dB/cm.… (More)
ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs) is a family of proteins characterized by the presence of a metalloproteinase domain linked to a variety of specialized ancillary… (More)
We report the synthesis and characterization of interconnected macroporous network structures of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) using cryogelation techniques. Novel monolithic networks containing a… (More)
Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) deposition offers a promising route to fabricate multifunctional coatings for various materials. However, PDA deposition is generally a time-consuming process, and… (More)
