In exploiting large propagation delays in underwater acoustic (UWA) networks, the time-domain interference alignment (TDIA) mechanism aligns interference signals through delay-aware slot scheduling, creating additional idle time for improved transmission at the medium access control (MAC) layer. However, perfect alignment remains challenging due to arbitrary delays. This study enhances TDIA by incorporating power allocation into its transmission scheduling framework across the physical and MAC layers, following the cross-layer design principle.

Article Synopsis
  • The ionic conductance in charged nanopores exhibits a power-law behavior at low salinity, influenced by surface charges that affect zeta potential and ion distributions.
  • Accurately measuring surface charge density in single-digit nanopores poses challenges, leading researchers to develop new methodologies to investigate these effects.
  • Through experiments with silicon nitride nanopores, a modified conductance model was established to analyze the relationship between pore concentration, surface charges, and potential leakage, allowing for a better understanding of ion mobility in nanopores.

Objective: The postoperative recovery of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) requires further study. This study aimed to establish and validate a predictive model for functional recovery in patients with LDH and explore associated risk factors.

Method: Patients with LDH undergoing PLIF admitted from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022 were included, and patient data were prospectively collected through follow-up.
