Air pollution, particularly in urban areas, puts human health in danger and has adverse impacts on the built environment. It can
accelerate the natural corrosion rate of cultural heritages and monuments, leading to premature ...
Background: Mammography is the preferred method for the diagnosis of breast cancer. However, this diagnostic technique fails to detect tumors of small sizes, and it does not work well for younger patients with high breast ...
Coal-fired combined heat and power plants (CHPPs) serving large districts areamong the major sources of mercury (Hg) emissions globally, including Cen-tral Asia. Most CHPPs reside on the outskirts of urban areas, thus ...
There are few cases of entire femur modular replacement with hip and knee joints in patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in literature. They report encouraging results in patients of elderly and senile age. ...

In this paper, we consider the decode-and-forward (DF) relay system in millimeter-wave
(mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, and propose a hybrid beamforming
design method for the mixed structure, ...
Abstract: Optical fiber ball resonators based on single-mode fibers in the infrared range are an
emerging technology for refractive index sensing and biosensing. These devices are easy and
rapid to fabricate using a ...
