We consider a heterogeneous MIMO-OFDMA based dense small cell (SC) system in which each macro cell base station (MBS) serves its coverage area with the help of small cell base stations (SBSs) through multi-hop wireless connections.The SBSs act as integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes that handle both access and backhaul traffics with wireless
As part of on-going efforts to use eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides, leaf powder of Hemizygia welwitschii was sequentially extracted in hexane, acetone and methanol.Bioassays were carried out to establish the most active fraction(s) against Sitophilus zeamais in maize.Maize grains (50 g) were treated with concentrations within the r
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the commonest cause of congenital infection and particularly so among infants born to HIV-infected women.Studies of congenital CMV infection (cCMVi) pathogenesis are complicated by the presence of multiple infecting maternal CMV strains, especially in HIV-positive women, and the large, recombinant CMV genome.Using newly dev
The development of cachexia in the setting of cancer or other chronic diseases is a significant detriment for patients.Cachexia is associated with a decreased ability to tolerate therapies, reduction in ambulation, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality.Cachexia appears intricately linked to the activation of the acute phase response and
