Strain-Sensor-In-Pixel Technology for Resolution-Sustainable Stretchable Displays.

One of the limitations of stretchable displays is the severe degradation of resolution or the decrease in the number of pixels per unit area when stretched. Hence, we suggest a strain-sensor-in-pixel (S-SIP) system through the adoption of hidden pixels that are activated only during the stretch mode for maintaining the density of on-state pixels. For the S-SIP system, the gate and source electrodes of InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) in an existing pixel are connected to a resistive strain sensor through the facile and selective deposition of silver nanowires (AgNWs) via electrohydrodynamic-jet-printing.

Joint Interference Alignment and Power Allocation for -User Multicell MIMO Channel through Staggered Antenna Switching.

In this paper, we characterise the joint interference alignment (IA) and power allocation strategies for a -user multicell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Gaussian interference channel. We consider a MIMO interference channel with blind-IA through staggered antenna switching on the receiver. We explore the power allocation and feasibility condition for cooperative cell-edge (CE) mobile users (MUs) by assuming that the channel state information is unknown.

Worst-Case Energy Efficiency Maximization in a 5G Massive MIMO-NOMA System.

In this paper, we examine the robust beamforming design to tackle the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem in a 5G massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) downlink system with imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the base station. A novel joint user pairing and dynamic power allocation (JUPDPA) algorithm is proposed to minimize the inter user interference and also to enhance the fairness between the users. This work assumes imperfect CSI by adding uncertainties to channel matrices with worst-case model, i.

Topological Interference Management for K-User Downlink Massive MIMO Relay Network Channel.

In this paper, we study the emergence of topological interference alignment and the characterizing features of a multi-user broadcast interference relay channel. We propose an alternative transmission strategy named the relay space-time interference alignment (R-STIA) technique, in which a K -user multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel has massive antennas at the transmitter and relay. Severe interference from unknown transmitters affects the downlink relay network channel and degrades the system performance.

Precoding method interference management for quasi-EVD channel.

The Cholesky decomposition-block diagonalization (CD-BD) interference alignment (IA) for a multiuser multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) relay system is proposed, which designs precoders for the multiple access channel (MAC) by employing the singular value decomposition (SVD) as well as the mean square error (MSE) detector for the broadcast Hermitian channel (BHC) taken advantage of in our design. Also, in our proposed CD-BD IA algorithm, the relaying function is made use to restructure the quasieigenvalue decomposition (quasi-EVD) equivalent channel. This approach used for the design of BD precoding matrix can significantly reduce the computational complexity and proposed algorithm can address several optimization criteria, which is achieved by designing the precoding matrices in two steps.

Helicobacter pylori and telomerase activity in intestinal metaplasia of the stomach.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been considered a definitive carcinogen in gastric cancer. Telomerase is activated in gastric cancer and some premalignant gastric lesions, including intestinal metaplasia (IM).

Tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 gene polymorphism in patients with gastric ulcer complicated with bleeding.

Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) may be involved in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcers through suppression of fibrinolysis. This study was designed to investigate associations of t-PA and PAI-1 genes with clinical features of the patients with bleeding gastric ulcers. Eighty-four patients with peptic ulcers and 100 controls were studied between January 1998 and April 2000.
