Performance analysis of dual-hop mixed RF-FSO systems combined with NOMA.

This paper investigates the performance of hybrid radio frequency/free space optical (RF/FSO) systems combined with non-orthogonal multiple access communications technology. We examine a scenario where the source and destination are separated by a large distance, with no direct link between them. The relay, denoted R, operates using the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol.

Copper-promoted dehydrosulfurative carbon-nitrogen cross-coupling with concomitant aromatization for synthesis of 2-aminopyrimidines.

Copper-promoted dehydrosulfurative C-N cross-coupling of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1-2-thione with amine accompanied by concomitant aromatization to generate 2-aryl(alkyl)aminopyrimidine derivatives is described. The reaction proceeded well with a wide range of thiono substrates and aryl/aliphatic amines as the coupling partners, offering efficient access to biologically and pharmacologically valuable 2-aryl(alkyl)aminopyrimidines with rapid diversification.

Oxidative Dehydrosulfurative Cross-Coupling of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones with Alkynes for Access to 2-Alkynylpyrimidines.

A reaction method is described for the one-step synthesis of 2-alkynylpyrimidines from 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1-2-thiones (DHPMs) via dehydrosulfurative Sonogashira cross-coupling with concomitant oxidative dehydrogenation using a Pd/Cu catalytic system. Together with the ready availability of DHPMs possessing various substituents at the C4-C6 positions, this transformation offers rapid and general access to diverse 2-alkynylpyrimidine derivatives.

Optimal Power Allocation of Relay Sensor Node Capable of Energy Harvesting in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Network.

A cooperative cognitive radio scheme exploiting primary signals for energy harvesting is proposed. The relay sensor node denoted as the secondary transmitter (ST) harvests energy from the primary signal transmitted from the primary transmitter, and then uses it to transmit power superposed codes of the secrecy signal of the secondary network (SN) and of the primary signal of the primary network (PN). The harvested energy is split into two parts according to a power splitting ratio, one for decoding the primary signal and the other for charging the battery.

T-L Plane Abstraction-Based Energy-Efficient Real-Time Scheduling for Multi-Core Wireless Sensors.

Energy efficiency is considered as a critical requirement for wireless sensor networks. As more wireless sensor nodes are equipped with multi-cores, there are emerging needs for energy-efficient real-time scheduling algorithms. The T-L plane-based scheme is known to be an optimal global scheduling technique for periodic real-time tasks on multi-cores.

Measurement of neutron energy spectrum at the radial channel No. 4 of the Dalat reactor.

Introduction: Several compositions of neutron filters have been installed at the channel No. 4 of the Dalat research reactor to produce quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams. However, this neutron facility has been proposed to enhance the quality of the experimental instruments, and to characterize the neutron spectrum parameters for new filtered neutron beams of 2 keV, 24 keV, 59 keV and 133 keV.
