The 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5GPPP) has recently published a white paper about 5G service indoors, since up to now, it had mainly focused on the outdoors. In an indoor environment, the requirements are different since the propagation mechanism differs from other scenarios. Furthermore, previous works have shown that space frequency block code (SFBC) techniques applied to multiple antennas improve performance compared to single-input single-output (SISO) systems. This paper presents an experimental study in an indoor environment regarding the performance of a massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) millimeter-wave (mmWave) system based on the 5G New Radio (NR) standard in two frequency bands. In a first step, the 38 and 65 GHz bands are compared by applying a low-complexity hybrid beamforming (HBF) algorithm. In a second step, the throughput and the maximum achievable distance are studied using a new algorithm that combines the SFBC technique and HBF. Results show, at 38 GHz with HBF and aggregated bandwidths (4 × 100 MHz), a maximum throughput of 4.30 Gbit/s up to 4.1 m. At 65 GHz, the SFBC + HBF algorithm improves the communication distance by 1.34, 1.61, or 1.75 m for bandwidths of 100, 200, or 400 MHz, respectively.

Humans have a long-standing relationship with the natural world, particularly in how they engage with plants-referred to as people-plant relationships. While plants naturally live outdoors, people have been including them inside built environments for centuries. Although the benefits of indoor plants are well documented in research, there is limited exploration of individuals' subjective relationships with their indoor plants.

Introduction: Measurement of hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is a useful tool for assessing the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and thus evaluating the long-term adrenocortical response in different animal species and breeds. Robust indigenous pig breeds are highly adapted to the local environment and are preferred for organic farming, compared to the commercial breeds. We investigated whether seasonality, breeding system (indoor or outdoor) and sex influence HCC of pigs reared on organic farms.

The study of scene perception is crucial to the understanding of how one interprets and interacts with their environment, and how the environment impacts various cognitive functions. The literature so far has mainly focused on the impact of low-level and categorical properties of scenes and how they are represented in the scene-selective regions in the brain, PPA, RSC, and OPA. However, higher-level scene perception and the impact of behavioral goals is a developing research area.

Epidemiologic studies of ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O) often use outdoor concentrations from central-site monitors or air quality model estimates as exposure surrogates, which can result in exposure errors. We previously developed an exposure model called TracMyAir, which is an iPhone application that determines seven tiers of individual-level exposure metrics for ambient PM and O using outdoor concentrations, home building characteristics, weather, time-activities. The exposure metrics with increasing information needs and complexity include: outdoor concentration (C, Tier 1), building infiltration factor (F, Tier 2), indoor concentration (C, Tier 3), time spent in microenvironments (ME) (T, Tier 4), personal exposure factor (F, Tier 5), exposure (E, Tier 6), and inhaled dose (D, Tier 7).
