Polarized and Unpolarized Lepton Pair Forward-backward Asymmetries in and Decays in Two Higgs Doublet Model
In this paper we shall focus on the effects of concrete models such as SM and
Model III of 2HDM on the polarized and unpolarized forward-backward asymmetries
of and
decays. The obtained
results of these decay modes are compared to each other. Also, we obtain the
minimum required number of events for detecting each asymmetry and compare them
with the number of produced pairs at the LHC or supposed to be
produced at the Super-LHC. At the end, we conclude that the study of these
asymmetries for
and processes are very
effective tools for establishing new physics in the future B-physics

Experimental Analysis of Ultra Wideband In Vivo Radio Channel
In this paper, we present the experimental analysis of in vivo wireless channel response on Ultra-Wideband (UWB) with the frequencies between 3.1-10.6 GHz. The analysis proves the location dependent based characteristics of in vivo channel. The results clearly show the highly multipath scenario. It can also be observed that the multipath effect of the channel is much higher in the denser areas, i.e. an antenna placed within the intestine area or inside the stomach. Results prove that in vivo channel is different from a conventional communication channel and therefore extensive studies need to be done to understand the channel
Comprehensive design and propagation study of a compact dual band antenna for healthcare applications
In this paper, a dual band planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) has been investigated for cooperative on- and off-body communications. Free space and on-body performance parameters like return loss, bandwidth, radiation pattern and efficiency of this antenna are shown and investigated. The on- and off-body radio propagation channel performance at 2.45 GHz and 1.9 GHz have been investigated, respectively. Experimental investigations are performed both in the anechoic chamber and in an indoor environment. The path loss exponent has been extracted for both on- and off-body radio propagation scenarios. For on-body propagation, the path loss exponent is 2.48 and 2.22 in the anechoic chamber and indoor environment, respectively. The path loss exponent is 1.27 for off-body radio propagation situation. For on-body case, the path loss has been characterized for ten different locations on the body at 2.45 GHz, whereas for off-body case radio channel studies are performed for five different locations at 1.9 GHz. The proposed antenna shows a good on- and off-body radio channel performance
Efficient AoA-based wireless indoor localization for hospital outpatients using mobile devices
The motivation of this work is to help outpatients find their corresponding departments or clinics, thus, it needs to provide indoor positioning services with a room-level accuracy. Unlike wireless outdoor localization that is dominated by the global positioning system (GPS), wireless indoor localization is still an open issue. Many different schemes are being developed to meet the increasing demand for indoor localization services. In this paper, we investigated the AoA-based wireless indoor localization for outpatients’ wayfinding in a hospital, where Wi-Fi access points (APs) are deployed, in line, on the ceiling. The target position can be determined by a mobile device, like a smartphone, through an efficient geometric calculation with two known APs coordinates and the angles of the incident radios. All possible positions in which the target may appear have been comprehensively investigated, and the corresponding solutions were proven to be the same. Experimental results show that localization error was less than 2.5 m, about 80% of the time, which can satisfy the outpatients’ requirements for wayfinding
The First Year IceCube-DeepCore Results
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory includes a tightly spaced inner array in the
deepest ice, called DeepCore, which gives access to low-energy neutrinos with a
sizable surrounding cosmic ray muon veto. Designed to be sensitive to neutrinos
at energies as low as 10 GeV, DeepCore will be used to study diverse physics
topics with neutrino signatures, such as dark matter annihilations and
atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The first year of DeepCore physics
data-taking has been completed, and the first observation of atmospheric
neutrino-induced cascades with IceCube and DeepCore are presented.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, TAUP 2011 (Journal of Physics: Conference Series

Exploiting Lack of Hardware Reciprocity for Sender-Node Authentication at the PHY Layer
This paper proposes to exploit the so-called reciprocity
parameters (modelling non-reciprocal communication
hardware) to use them as decision metric for binary hypothesis
testing based authentication framework at a receiver node Bob.
Specifically, Bob first learns the reciprocity parameters of the
legitimate sender Alice via initial training. Then, during the test
phase, Bob first obtains a measurement of reciprocity parameters
of channel occupier (Alice, or, the intruder Eve). Then, with
ground truth and current measurement both in hand, Bob
carries out the hypothesis testing to automatically accept (reject)
the packets sent by Alice (Eve). For the proposed scheme, we
provide its success rate (the detection probability of Eve), and
its performance comparison with other schemes
Multi-hop Cooperative Relaying for Energy Efficient In Vivo Communications
This paper investigates cooperative relaying to support energy efficient in vivo communications. In such a network, the in vivo source nodes transmit their sensing information to an on-body destination node either via direct communications or by employing on-body cooperative relay nodes in order to promote energy efficiency. Two relay modes are investigated, namely single-hop and multi-hop (two-hop) relaying. In this context, the paper objective is to select the optimal transmission mode (direct, single-hop, or two-hop relaying) and relay assignment (if cooperative relaying is adopted) for each source node that results in the minimum per bit average energy consumption for the in vivo network. The problem is formulated as a binary program that can be efficiently solved using commercial optimization solvers. Numerical results demonstrate the significant improvement in energy consumption and quality-of-service (QoS) support when multi-hop communication is adopted
