Abstract Relay identification is necessary in many cooperative communication applications such as detecting the presence of malicious relays for communication security, selecting the intended relays for signal forwarding, and tracing a specific relay.However, this identification task becomes extremely challenging for amplify-and-forward (AF) relayi
Immunotherapy is now a cornerstone for cancer treatment, and much attention has been placed on the identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers.The success of biomarker development is dependent on accurate and timely collection of biospecimens and high-quality processing, storage and shipping.Tumors are also increasingly used as source ma
Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAMs) are Artificial Neural Networks frequently utilized Long Boots in cognitive modeling.While bipolar encoding is commonly used in BAMs for optimal performance, binary encoding presents interesting properties.As such, this study introduces a novel transmission function for binary encoding and compares its perfo
Although asthma has been commonly associated with sensitivity to cockroaches, a clear causal relationship between asthma, allergy to cockroaches and exposure levels has not been extensively investigated.The objective of the present study was to determine whether asthma occurs more frequently in children living in homes with high cockroach infestati
The paper deals with the exposition of the main barriers and drivers of renewable energy usage in rural communities.Climate change mitigation is causing governments, policymakers, and international organizations worldwide to embark on policies, leading to increased use of renewable energy sources and improvement of energy efficiency.Climate change
