Device-to-Device (D2D) communication and wireless small cell networks (SCNs) are two of the most promising paradigms in next generation cellular technologies. However, interference management is a major issue in regard to the use of either or both technologies. In this paper, we propose a D2D pair underlying SCNs using Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology. In particular, we have a D2D transmitter and D2D receiver underlying SCNs and operate in close proximity to a SCN primary user (PU). Two scenarios are proposed. The first scenario is when the best base station (BS) link is chosen to harvest energy from, and a second scenario where energy is harvested from all available SCN BSs. The transmission between the D2D pair is kept under a certain threshold so it could not have any harmful effects on the transmission link of PU. The results reveal that the number of interference users shows negative effect on the performance of the considered system. Besides, the primary network’s peak interference constraint has significant influence on the optimal value of energy harvesting time at the D2D transmitter. 相似文献
Nanoparticle assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (NPs-ALDI-MS) shows remarkable characteristics and has a promising future in terms of real sample analysis. The incorporation of NPs can advance several methods including surface assisted LDI-MS, and surface enhanced LDI-MS. These methods have advanced the detection of many thermally labile and nonvolatile biomolecules. Nanoparticles circumvent the drawbacks of conventional organic matrices for the analysis of small molecules. In most cases, NPs offer a clear background without interfering peaks, absence of fragmentation of thermally labile molecules, and allow the ionization of species with weak noncovalent interactions. Furthermore, an enhancement in sensitivity and selectivity can be achieved. NPs enable straightforward analysis of target species in a complex sample. This review (with 239 refs.) covers the progress made in laser-based mass spectrometry in combination with the use of metallic NPs (such as AuNPs, AgNPs, PtNPs, and PdNPs), NPs consisting of oxides and chalcogenides, silicon-based NPs, carbon-based nanomaterials, quantum dots, and metal-organic frameworks.
We offer a non-covariant derivation of the equation of motion for a dual charge, taking into account the radiation reaction, by means of a simple model of charge: a dumbbell. In the derivation we handle retarded quantities avoiding some of the usual approximations, in particular we do not restrict our calculations to first order inv/c nor overlook thet dependence ofR=|x–r(t)|. The differences with the radiation reaction problem for pure electric or magnetic charges are exhibited. 相似文献
Designing QoS-aware medium access control (MAC) scheme is a challenging issue in vehicular ad hoc networks. Proportional fairness and bandwidth utilization are among the significant requirements that should be taken into account by a MAC scheme. In this paper, a bandwidth-efficient and fair multichannel MAC protocol is proposed to address these two requirements, specifically in vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The proposed scheme is based on clustering of vehicles and exploits time division multiple access (TDMA) method alongside the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance mechanism to allocate DSRC-based resources in a different manner from IEEE 802.11p/IEEE 1609.4 protocols. It divides each channel into aligned dynamic-sized time frames. In each time frame, in a fully TDMA-based period, transmission opportunities are assigned to vehicles letting them have dedicated transmissions on the service and control channels. The maximum number of transmission opportunities per each frame is determined by the cluster head (CH) based on a defined optimization problem which aims at maximizing both proportional fairness and bandwidth utilization. Furthermore, the bandwidth utilization is assumed to be enhanced more through reallocation of unused transmission opportunities in each time frame, using a proposed reallocation algorithm. The proposed MAC protocol is treated as a lightweight scheme such that various types of unicast, multicast and broadcast communications are possible within the cluster without involving the CH. Evaluation results show that the proposed scheme has more than 90 % achievement in terms of proportional fairness and bandwidth utilization simultaneously, and in this case, has a considerable superiority over TC-MAC. In addition, using the proposed scheme, the satisfaction level of vehicles is preserved appropriately. 相似文献
In this paper, a new multiphase segmentation method is proposed, in which a binary segmentation method is used in an iterative process. At each time of iteration, the region of pixels with darker mean value of intensity is separated from other regions. This segmentation is done by means of intensity function, eigenvector of Hessian matrix, and Curvelet. Proper extraction of the pixels around and on the ridge in the Gaussian noisy image and simultaneous denoizing and segmentation are the advantages of the present method. Experimental results are provided for showing the efficiency of our method. 相似文献
The aim of this work is to characterize the active constituents present in the ethyl acetate fraction of Senna tora, L. Roxb. seeds. Due to the fact that the main biological activity of S. tora, L seeds is attributed to its phenolic compounds which are mainly isolated from Ethyl acetate fraction, to avoid repetition of work and to save time, it was deemed necessary to confirm the identity of these phenolic compounds. This was done by GC-MS and LC-MS analysis of the ethyl acetate fraction where the structures of the isolated compounds were established on the basis of molecular ion peak and their fragmentation pattern. They were identified as Chrysophanol, Chrysarobin, 10-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1, 4-anthracenedione, Rubrofusarin, Parietin, Griseoxanthone-B, Isotorachrysone, and Cumbiasin B.
Investigations into the conformational behaviour of macrocyclic ligands 5 and 6 derived from (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been undertaken using molecular modelling, single crystal X-ray diffraction and variable temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy. These have revealed that the lowest energy conformers in both cases do not possess the expected C2-element of symmetry, which can only be accessed at higher temperatures. Instead both molecules exist as C1-conformers at room temperature and in the solid state. In solution a range of dynamic exchange processes is observed which result, in part from the inherent strain in these fused bicyclic systems. An unexpected but characteristic feature of the C1-symmetric conformers is highlighted by the presence of a signal at unexpectedly low field in their 1H NMR spectra due to the interaction of two of the sulfonyl oxygen atoms with one of the bridgehead hydrogen atoms. 相似文献
Three new verdoheme analogues with weakly coordinating anions, [OEOPFe(II)X], where OEOP is the monoanion of octaethyloxoporphyrin and X = PF(6), ClO(4), and BF(4), have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. (1)H NMR spectroscopy reveals that the [OEOPFe(II)X] species are paramagnetic, and the iron is five-coordinate (S = 2). The oxidation of [OEOPFe(II)PF(6)] with dioxygen yields [(OEOPFe)(2)O](PF(6))(2). The structure of (mu-oxo)bis[(octaethyloxoporphinato)iron(III)] has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The eight Fe-N bond distances have an average value of 2.077(3) Angstroms. The oxygen atom sits on the inversion center, and the average axial Fe-O bond length is 1.756(3) Angstroms. The average displacement of the iron(III) atom from the mean porphinato core is 0.60 Angstroms. Crystal data: crystal system, monoclinic; a = 8.7114(10) Angstroms; b = 26.102(4) Angstroms; c = 15.8323(14) Angstroms; beta = 104.134(6) degrees ; space group P2(1)/c; V = 3491.1(7) Angstroms (3); Z = 2; R1 = 0.0546, wR2 =0.1145 for data with I > 2sigma(I). 相似文献
A peptide targeting method has been developed for diagnostic protein discovery, which combines proteolytic digestion of fractionated plasma proteins and liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-TOFMS) profiling. Proteolysis prior to profiling overcomes molecular weight limitations and compensates for the poor sensitivity of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) protein profiling. LC/MS increases the peak capacity compared to crude fractionation techniques or single sample MALDI analysis. Differentially expressed peptides are targeted in the mass chromatograms using bioinformatic techniques and subsequently sequenced with MALDI tandem MS. In a model study comparing pancreatic cancer patients to controls, 74% of the peptide targets were successfully sequenced. This profiling method was superior to previous experiments using single sample MALDI analysis for protein profiling or proteolytic peptide profiling, because more potential protein markers were identified. 相似文献
