PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS FOR RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACE-AIDED COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS WITH ENERGY HARVESTING UNDER IMPERFECT NAKAGAMI-M CHANNEL INFORMATION

Performance Analysis for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-aided Communication Systems with Energy Harvesting under Imperfect Nakagami-m Channel Information

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can serve as a passive relay to maintain communication between a transceiver in severe scenarios of no direct link between them.In addition, harvesting energy from radio frequency (RF) signals can meliorate significantly energy efficiency.In this research, we propose RIS-aided communication systems with ener

Small mammals in the diet of Barn Owls (Tyto furcata) in an urban area in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, with a new record of the dwarf mouse opossum (Cryptonanus)

Abstract Several studies emphasize the use of owl pellets in small mammal inventories in natural areas harboring high richness of rare species, but Immune Support few Brazilian Atlantic forest localities have been surveyed by this method.The present study documents the species composition and abundance of small mammals in the diet of Tyto furcata i

Venocentric lesions: an MRI marker of MS?

From the earliest descriptions of MS, the venocentric characteristic of plaques was noted.Recently, numerous MRI studies have proposed this finding as a prospective biomarker for MS, which might aid in differentiating MS from other diseases with similar MRI findings.High field MRI studies have shown that penetrating veins can be detected in most MS
