Provisioning QoS to user at cell-edge is a challenge where there is limitation in cell resources due to inter-cell interference (ICI). Soft Frequency Reuse is ICI mitigation scheme that controls the distribution of resources between users. In this paper, the Impact of four CAC schemes (Cutoff Priority scheme (CP), Uniform Fractional Guard Channel (UFGC), Limited Fractional Guard Channel (LFGC), New Call Bounding (NCB) scheme) at cell-edge have investigated using queuing analysis in a comparative manner. The comparison is based on two criteria. The first criterion guarantees a particular level of service to already admitted users while trying to optimize the revenue obtained. The second criterion determines the minimum of number of radio resources that provides hard constraints in both of blocking and dropping probabilities. The four schemes are compared at different scenarios of new and handover call arrival rates.展开更多

In LTE （long term evolution） networks, the distribution of a limited number of radio resources among H2H （Human-to-Human） users and increasing number of MTC （Machine-Type-Communication） devices in M2M （Machine-to-Machine） communications is one of the main problems. An analytical model is conducted to compute the throughput for message 1 and message 2. This is done using a Markov chain model for the four messages signaling flow with buffering for message 4. This model is used in LTE 3GPP （Third-Generation Partnership Project） random access. The network performance will be enhanced by determining a dedicated arrival rate corresponding to maximum throughput of message 2 that will assist the network planner to optimize the network performance. In this paper, a deduced arrival rate less than 3.333 requests/ms will maximize network throughput.展开更多

Applying QoS for Cell edge users in soft frequency reuse scheme in LTE system is a challenge as they already suffer from limited resources. Assigning some resources for handover calls may enhance dropping probability but this is in price of degradation in the blocking probability for new calls in cell-edge. Uniform Fractional Guard Channel (UFGC) is a call admission policy that provides QoS without reserving resources for handover calls. In this paper, the performance of Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) in presence of Uniform Fractional Guard Channel (UFGC) will be investigated using queuing analysis. The mathematical model and performance metrics will be deduced in this assessment. The impact of UFGC will be evaluated in edge and core part separately. Then the optimal value for the parameter of UFGC will be obtained to minimize the blocking probability of new calls with the constraint on the upper bound on the dropping probability of handoff calls.展开更多

Diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) is a relatively recent technological improvement that expanded MRI capabilities, having brought functional aspects into conventional morphologic MRI evaluation. DWI can depict the random diffusion of water molecules within tissues(the so-called Brownian motions). Modifications of water diffusion induced by different factors acting on the extracellular and intracellular spaces, as increased cell density, edema, fibrosis, or altered functionality of cell membranes, can be detected using this MR sequence. The intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) model is an advanced DWI technique that consent a separate quantitative evaluation of all the microscopic random motions that contribute to DWI, which are essentially represented by molecular diffusion and blood microcirculation(perfusion). Technological improvements have made possible the routine use of DWI during abdominal MRI study. Several authors have reported that the addition of DWI sequence can be of value for the evaluation of patients with PDAC, especially improving the staging; nevertheless, it is still unclear whether and how DWI could be helpful for identification, characterization, prognostic stratification and follow-up during treatment. The aim of this paper is to review up-to-date literature data regarding the applications of DWI and IVIM to PDACs.展开更多

A...Rheumatoid arthritis（RA） is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the lining of the synovial joints and is associated with progressive disability, premature death, and socioeconomic burdens. A better understanding of how the pathological mechanisms drive the deterioration of RA progress in individuals is urgently required in order to develop therapies that will effectively treat patients at each stage of the disease progress. Here we dissect the etiology and pathology at specific stages：（i） triggering,（ii） maturation,（iii） targeting, and（iv） fulminant stage, concomitant with hyperplastic synovium, cartilage damage, bone erosion, and systemic consequences. Modern pharmacologic therapies（including conventional, biological, and novel potential small molecule disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs） remain the mainstay of RA treatment and there has been significant progress toward achieving disease remission without joint deformity. Despite this, a significant proportion of RA patients do not effectively respond to the current therapies and thus new drugs are urgently required. This review discusses recent advances of our understanding of RA pathogenesis, disease modifying drugs, and provides perspectives on next generation therapeutics for RA.展开更多

The polarization state of each signal light is automatically adjusted and aligned with that of the LO light, and then 7 channels of 28-GHz MMW carrying 4-Gb/s QPSK signals are generated by optical heterodyne beating. Automated polarizationcontrol function of each channel is also demonstrated with ～7-ms tuning time and ～27-dB extinction ratio.展开更多

The proposed scheme employs single unidirectional erbiumdoped fiber amplifier(Uni-EDFA) for commercial optical networks to implement bidirectional optical amplification. Since including isolators, the effect of backscattering due to the accumulated amplification can be efficiently suppressed by the proposed amplifier. The proposed scheme is validated over different length fiber links in laboratory. Experimental results show that the proposed amplifier can support fiber-optic time transfer over several thousands of kilometers with an additional bidirectional delay difference fluctuation at picosecond magnitude.展开更多

文摘Coupled-waveguide devices are essential in photonic integrated circuits for coupling,polarization handling,and mode manipulation.However,the performance of these devices usually suffers from high wavelength and structure sensitivity,which makes it challenging to realize broadband and reliable on-chip optical functions.Recently,topological pumping of edge states has emerged as a promising solution for implementing robust optical couplings.In this paper,we propose and experimentally demonstrate broadband on-chip mode manipulation with very large fabrication tolerance based on the Rice–Mele modeled silicon waveguide arrays.The Thouless pumping mechanism is employed in the design to implement broadband and robust mode conversion and multiplexing.The experimental results prove that various mode-order conversions with low insertion losses and intermodal crosstalk can be achieved over a broad bandwidth of 80 nm ranging from 1500 to 1580 nm.Thanks to such a topological design,the device has a remarkable fabrication tolerance of±70 nm for the structural deviations in waveguide width and gap distance,which is,to the best of our knowledge,the highest among the coupled-waveguide mode-handling devices reported so far.As a proof-of-concept experiment,we cascade the topological mode-order converters to form a four-channel mode-division multiplexer and demonstrate the transmission of a 200-Gb/s 16-quadrature amplitude modulation signal for each mode channel,with the bit error rates below the 7%forward error correction threshold of 3.8×10^(-3).We reveal the possibility of developing new classes of broadband and fabrication-tolerant coupled-waveguide devices with topological photonic approaches,which may find applications in many fields,including optical interconnects,quantum communications,and optical computing.

文摘Complex-valued double-sideband direct detection(DD)can reconstruct the optical field and achieve a high electrical spectral efficiency(ESE)comparable to that of a coherent homodyne receiver,and DD does not require a costly local oscillator laser.However,a fundamental question remains if there is an optimal DD receiver structure with the simplest design to approach the performance of the coherent homodyne detection.This study derives the optimal DD receiver structure with an optimal transfer function to recover a quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM)signal with a near-zero guard band at the central frequency of the signal.We derive the theoretical ESE limit for various detection schemes by invoking Shannon’s formula.Our proposed scheme is closest to coherent homodyne detection in terms of the theoretical ESE limit.By leveraging a WaveShaper to construct the optimal transfer function,we conduct a proof-of-concept experiment to transmit a net 228.85-Gb/s 64-QAM signal over an 80-km single-mode fiber with a net ESE of 8.76 b/s/Hz.To the best of our knowledge,this study reports the highest net ESE per polarization per wavelength for DD transmission beyond 40-km single-mode fiber.For a comprehensive metric,denoted as 2ESE×Reach,we achieve the highest 2ESE×Reach per polarization per wavelength for DD transmission.
文摘Breast cancer is one of the major causes of deaths in women.However,the early diagnosis is important for screening and control the mortality rate.Thus for the diagnosis of breast cancer at the early stage,a computer-aided diagnosis system is highly required.Ultrasound is an important examination technique for breast cancer diagnosis due to its low cost.Recently,many learning-based techniques have been introduced to classify breast cancer using breast ultrasound imaging dataset(BUSI)datasets;however,the manual handling is not an easy process and time consuming.The authors propose an EfficientNet-integrated ResNet deep network and XAI-based framework for accurately classifying breast cancer(malignant and benign).In the initial step,data augmentation is performed to increase the number of training samples.For this purpose,three-pixel flip mathematical equations are introduced:horizontal,vertical,and 90°.Later,two pretrained deep learning models were employed,skipped some layers,and fine-tuned.Both fine-tuned models are later trained using a deep transfer learning process and extracted features from the deeper layer.Explainable artificial intelligence-based analysed the performance of trained models.After that,a new feature selection technique is proposed based on the cuckoo search algorithm called cuckoo search controlled standard error mean.This technique selects the best features and fuses using a new parallel zeropadding maximum correlated coefficient features.In the end,the selection algorithm is applied again to the fused feature vector and classified using machine learning algorithms.The experimental process of the proposed framework is conducted on a publicly available BUSI and obtained 98.4%and 98%accuracy in two different experiments.Comparing the proposed framework is also conducted with recent techniques and shows improved accuracy.In addition,the proposed framework was executed less than the original deep learning models.
文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),comprising Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis,represents the two predominant clinical entities within this spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders.Current evidence indicates that the etiology of IBD is multifactorial,involving a complex interplay between host genetic susceptibility and environmental determinants.In recent years,non-pharmacological strategies such as physical exercise and vagus nerve stimulation have gained increasing attention as adjunctive therapeutic approaches.Vagus nerve stimulation has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality,particularly in conditions characterized by autonomic dysfunction and diminished vagal tone.Conversely,vagotomy,by disrupting vagal control,abolishes parasympathetic reflexes and may potentiate inflammatory responses and exacerbate IBD symptomatology under stress conditions.Physical exercise has likewise been investigated as a non-pharmacological intervention in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.Although the precise mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated,accumulating evidence suggests that skeletal muscle contractions promote the secretion of myokines,with recognized anti-inflammatory properties.These myokines act on the intestinal microenvironment,conferring protection against malignant transformation and modulating the composition and function of the gut microbiota.In this review,we critically examine the interplay between physical exercise,vagus nerve stimulation,and vagotomy in the pathophysiology and management of IBD,with particular emphasis on their immunomodulatory and therapeutic potential.

文摘Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is a reliable and accurate imaging method for the evaluation of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC). Diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) is a relatively recent technological improvement that expanded MRI capabilities, having brought functional aspects into conventional morphologic MRI evaluation. DWI can depict the random diffusion of water molecules within tissues(the so-called Brownian motions). Modifications of water diffusion induced by different factors acting on the extracellular and intracellular spaces, as increased cell density, edema, fibrosis, or altered functionality of cell membranes, can be detected using this MR sequence. The intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) model is an advanced DWI technique that consent a separate quantitative evaluation of all the microscopic random motions that contribute to DWI, which are essentially represented by molecular diffusion and blood microcirculation(perfusion). Technological improvements have made possible the routine use of DWI during abdominal MRI study. Several authors have reported that the addition of DWI sequence can be of value for the evaluation of patients with PDAC, especially improving the staging; nevertheless, it is still unclear whether and how DWI could be helpful for identification, characterization, prognostic stratification and follow-up during treatment. The aim of this paper is to review up-to-date literature data regarding the applications of DWI and IVIM to PDACs.

文摘Rheumatoid arthritis（RA） is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the lining of the synovial joints and is associated with progressive disability, premature death, and socioeconomic burdens. A better understanding of how the pathological mechanisms drive the deterioration of RA progress in individuals is urgently required in order to develop therapies that will effectively treat patients at each stage of the disease progress. Here we dissect the etiology and pathology at specific stages：（i） triggering,（ii） maturation,（iii） targeting, and（iv） fulminant stage, concomitant with hyperplastic synovium, cartilage damage, bone erosion, and systemic consequences. Modern pharmacologic therapies（including conventional, biological, and novel potential small molecule disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs） remain the mainstay of RA treatment and there has been significant progress toward achieving disease remission without joint deformity. Despite this, a significant proportion of RA patients do not effectively respond to the current therapies and thus new drugs are urgently required. This review discusses recent advances of our understanding of RA pathogenesis, disease modifying drugs, and provides perspectives on next generation therapeutics for RA.

文摘We propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated silicon photonic scheme to generate multi-channel millimeter-wave(MMW) signals for 5 G multi-user applications. The fabricated silicon photonic chip has a footprint of 1.1 × 2.1 mm^2 and integrates 7 independent channels each having on-chip polarization control and heterodyne mixing functions. 7 channels of4-Gb/s QPSK baseband signals are delivered via a 2-km multi-core fiber(MCF) and coupled into the chip with a local oscillator(LO) light. The polarization state of each signal light is automatically adjusted and aligned with that of the LO light, and then 7 channels of 28-GHz MMW carrying 4-Gb/s QPSK signals are generated by optical heterodyne beating. Automated polarizationcontrol function of each channel is also demonstrated with ～7-ms tuning time and ～27-dB extinction ratio.

文摘Optical frequency comb with evenly spaced lines over a broad bandwidth has revolutionized the fields of optical metrology and spectroscopy.Here,we propose a fast interleaved dual-comb spectroscopy with sub-femtometer-resolution and absolute frequency,in which two electro-optic frequency combs are swept.Electrically-modulated stabilized laser enables ultrahigh resolution of 0.16 fm(or 20 k Hz in optical frequency)and single-shot measurement in 90 ms.Total 20 million points are recorded spanning 3.2 nm(or 400 GHz)bandwidth,corresponding to a spectral sampling rate of 2.5×10^(8)points/s under Nyquist-limitation.Besides,considering the trade-off between the measurement time and spectral resolution,a fast single-shot measurement is also realized in 1.6 ms with 8 fm(or 1 MHz)resolution.We demonstrate the 25-averaged result with 30.6 d B spectral measurement signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)by reducing the filter bandwidth in demodulation.The results show great prospect for precise measurement with flexibly fast refresh time,high spectral resolution,and high SNR.

文摘With the increasing dimensionality of network traffic,extracting effective traffic features and improving the identification accuracy of different intrusion traffic have become critical in intrusion detection systems(IDS).However,both unsupervised and semisupervised anomalous traffic detection methods suffer from the drawback of ignoring potential correlations between features,resulting in an analysis that is not an optimal set.Therefore,in order to extract more representative traffic features as well as to improve the accuracy of traffic identification,this paper proposes a feature dimensionality reduction method combining principal component analysis and Hotelling’s T^(2) and a multilayer convolutional bidirectional long short-term memory(MSC_BiLSTM)classifier model for network traffic intrusion detection.This method reduces the parameters and redundancy of the model by feature extraction and extracts the dependent features between the data by a bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)network,which fully considers the influence between the before and after features.The network traffic is first characteristically downscaled by principal component analysis(PCA),and then the downscaled principal components are used as input to Hotelling’s T^(2) to compare the differences between groups.For datasets with outliers,Hotelling’s T^(2) can help identify the groups where the outliers are located and quantitatively measure the extent of the outliers.Finally,a multilayer convolutional neural network and a BiLSTM network are used to extract the spatial and temporal features of network traffic data.The empirical consequences exhibit that the suggested approach in this manuscript attains superior outcomes in precision,recall and F1-score juxtaposed with the prevailing techniques.The results show that the intrusion detection accuracy,precision,and F1-score of the proposed MSC_BiLSTM model for the CIC-IDS 2017 dataset are 98.71%,95.97%,and 90.22%.

文摘In this letter, we propose a bidirectional optical amplification scheme for fiber-optic time transfer based on bidirectional wavelength-division multiplexing(WDM) transmission. The proposed scheme employs single unidirectional erbiumdoped fiber amplifier(Uni-EDFA) for commercial optical networks to implement bidirectional optical amplification. Since including isolators, the effect of backscattering due to the accumulated amplification can be efficiently suppressed by the proposed amplifier. The proposed scheme is validated over different length fiber links in laboratory. Experimental results show that the proposed amplifier can support fiber-optic time transfer over several thousands of kilometers with an additional bidirectional delay difference fluctuation at picosecond magnitude.
