The development of state-of-the-art wireless communication transceivers in semiconductor technology is a challenging process due to complexity and stringent requirements of modern communication standards such as IEEE 802.11n.This tutorial paper describes a complete design, verification, and performance characterization methodology that is tailored
Aleurothrixus (formerly known as Aleurotrachelus) trachoides Back (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), commonly known as pepper or solanum whitefly, is a new emerging whitefly pest of several horticultural crops in the United States.During the preliminary survey for pepper whitefly infestation in Florida, a whitefly-specific predatory beetle Delphastus catali
To examine the inconsistency and ceiling effect when using the visual analogue scale (VAS) in measuring labor pain, data from four repeated measures of the sensation of labor pain in the early active phase from a clinical trial were re-analyzed.That study examined the effect of music on the labor pain experienced by 55 primiparas, while 55 control
IntroductionCanopy species need to shift their ecological adaptation to improve light and water resources utilization, and the study of intraspecific variations in plant leaf functional traits based at individual scale is of great significance for evaluating plant adaptability to climate change.MethodsIn this study, we evaluate how leaf functional
Radiopharmaceuticals labeled with short-lived positron-emitting or gamma-emitting isotopes are injected into patients just prior to performing positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission tomography (SPECT) scans, respectively.These imaging modalities are widely used in clinical care, as well as in the development and evaluation of
