A Deterministic Equivalent for the Analysis of Non-Gaussian Correlated MIMO Multiple Access Channels
Large dimensional random matrix theory (RMT) has provided an efficient
analytical tool to understand multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels
and to aid the design of MIMO wireless communication systems. However, previous
studies based on large dimensional RMT rely on the assumption that the transmit
correlation matrix is diagonal or the propagation channel matrix is Gaussian.
There is an increasing interest in the channels where the transmit correlation
matrices are generally nonnegative definite and the channel entries are
non-Gaussian. This class of channel models appears in several applications in
MIMO multiple access systems, such as small cell networks (SCNs). To address
these problems, we use the generalized Lindeberg principle to show that the
Stieltjes transforms of this class of random matrices with Gaussian or
non-Gaussian independent entries coincide in the large dimensional regime. This
result permits to derive the deterministic equivalents (e.g., the Stieltjes
transform and the ergodic mutual information) for non-Gaussian MIMO channels
from the known results developed for Gaussian MIMO channels, and is of great
importance in characterizing the spectral efficiency of SCNs.Comment: This paper is the revision of the original manuscript titled "A
Deterministic Equivalent for the Analysis of Small Cell Networks". We have
revised the original manuscript and reworked on the organization to improve
the presentation as well as readabilit
A Characterization of E
A class of vector optimization problems is considered and a characterization
of E-Benson proper efficiency is obtained by using a nonlinear scalarization
function proposed by Göpfert et al. Some examples are given to illustrate the main
results
China collection 2.1: Aerosol Optical Depth dataset for mainland China at 1km resolution
A wide range of data products have been published since the operation of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor on NASA's TERRA and AQUA satellites. Based on DarkTarget and DeepBlue method, NASA has published Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) products Collection 6.0 with spatial resolution of 3km. Although validated globally, regional and systematic errors are still found in the MODIS-retrieved AOD products. This is especially remarkable for bright heterogeneous land surface, such as mainland China. In order to solve the aerosol retrieval problem over heterogeneous bright land surface, the Synergetic Retrieval of Aerosol Properties algorithm (SRAP) has been developed based on the synergetic use of the MODIS data of TERRA and AQUA satellites. Using the SRAP algorithm, we produced AOD dataset-China Collection 2.1 at 1km spatial resolution, dated from August 2002 to 2012. We compared the China Collection 2.1 AOD datasets for 2010 with AERONET data. From those 2460 collocations, representing mutually cloud-free conditions, we find that 62% of China Collection 2.1 AOD values comparing with AERONET-observed values within an expected error envelop of 20% and 55% within an expected error envelop of 15%. Compared with MODIS Level 2 aerosol products, China Collection 2.1 AOD datasets have a more complete coverage with fewer data gaps over the study region
Expression of telomerase inhibits hydroxyl radical-induced apoptosis in normal telomerase negative human lung fibroblasts
AbstractIn tumor cells telomerase activity is associated with resistance to apoptosis and the introduction of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) subunit into normal human cells is associated with life span extension of the cells. To determine the role of telomerase in regulating apoptosis, telomerase negative human embryo lung fibroblasts were transfected with the hTERT gene. Unlike the control fibroblasts, the telomerase-expressing cells had elongated telomeres and were resistant to apoptosis induced by hydroxyl radicals. The results indicate that expression of telomerase and, thus, the maintenance of telomere length in normal human somatic cells caused resistance to not only cellular senescence but also apoptosis. Moreover, we found that hydroxyl radical-induced apoptosis in telomerase-expressing and control fibroblasts was caspase-3 independent. These findings have revealed a new type of interrelation between telomerase and caspase-3, which may indicate that in this case the expressed telomerase may inhibit apoptosis at a site not related to the caspase-3 cascade
Naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic acid 1,8-anhydride–4,4′-bipyridine (1/1)
The title compound, C14H6O7·C10H8N2, has been hydrothermally synthesized. Structural ananlysis indicates that the crystals are produced by cocrystallization of naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic acid 1,8-anhydride and 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) molecules. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5846 (9) Å]
Tetraimidazolebis(trichloroacetato)copper(II)
The title compound, [Cu(C2Cl3O2)2(C3H4N2)4], was prepared by the reaction of imidazole and trichloroacetatocopper(II). The CuII atom adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, binding the N atoms of four imidazole ligands and the carboxylate O atoms of two trichloroacetate anions. The molecular structure and packing are stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions. Close intermolecular Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.498 (3) Å] are also found in the structure
