    This paper addresses a cognitive radio (CR) network scenario where a relay is assigned to mitigate interference to primary users (PUs). We develop an average probability of successful secondary transmission (PSST) to introduce relay in the CR network. The power allocation is done using dual domain concept to maximize the system throughput as well as maintaining interference to an acceptable level and this approach is implemented in our paper that has a higher convergence rate. Furthermore, we propose an alternative approach that maintains a high throughput and at the same time reduces the computational complexity significantly. A detailed analysis is done before simulation. The simulated results validate the theoretical analysis

    Get PDF
    The thermal degradation behaviour of polypropylene and its magnetite composites have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Distribution of magnetite nanoparticles in a polymer matrix has been studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and also atomic force microscopy. The thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on polypropylene and magnetite nanoparticles have also been investigated. It has shown that, the introduction of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in polypropylene increases its thermal stability of about 1000C. The maximum increase in the thermal stability of PP was observed in the case of a 20% weight content of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in polypropylene

    Остання криза привернула великий інтерес з боку економістів і пруденційних органів. У деяких аспектах це нагадує: надмірну заборгованість, поширену паніку, спричинену різкою девальвацією фінансових активів, погане управління та передбачення криз пруденційними правилами Базеля II. Банківська влада Алжиру бере участь у серії реформ незалежності до сьогодні, щоб модернізувати свій банківський сектор. Вони включають реформи з реструктуризації, лібералізацію та приватизацію державних банків, встановлення пруденційних законів і систем управління ризиками та посилення повноважень нагляду. Мета цієї статті — дізнатися про достатність Базельських домовленостей для досягнення основних ідей щодо зниження ризиків, стабілізації фінансового сектора та підтримки рівня його ефективності. До того ж, центральна ідея полягає в тому, щоб показати, що наші комерційні банки стоять перед перешкодою через присутність держави дуже сильною мірою в акціонерах банків, що послаблює регуляторне управління. Ця перешкода та інші політичні обмеження перешкоджають застосуванню другої Базельської угоди. Це було зроблено шляхом попередньої оцінки різних Базельських угод, нав’язаних банкам на міжнародному рівні органами Пруденційного Базельського комітету, щоб уникнути криз або принаймні запобігти їм. По-друге, ситуація алжирського банку порівняно з нами-сусідами, і вони змушені або причини повільності з монетарними органами для застосування угоди Базель 2, і, нарешті, аналіз деяких показників надійності банків для вимірювання ефективності алжирського банківського сектора за період з 2000 по 2021 рік. Висновки показали, що ми повинні зазначити, що вони покращуються для одних і незначно знижуються для інших. Аналіз розвитку депозитів за інституційним сектором показує, що наприкінці грудня 2020 року депозити, зібрані в державних установах і державних установах, зменшилися на -13,2% після того, як зафіксована висота зросла на 7,6% у 2018 році та на -2% у 2019 році. і 2020 р. Ці депозити перемістилися з 3689,1 млрд динарів наприкінці 2019 року до 3202,5 млрд динарів у 2020 році та 3885,2 млрд динарів у 2021 році. Це також становить 33,9% від загальної кількості зібраних банківських депозитів порівняно з 39,3% на кінець 2019 року. Це падіння пов’язане зі значним зменшенням депозитів до запитання для державних установ на (-18%) наприкінці 2020 року порівняно зі зменшенням на (-19,7%) наприкінці 2019 року. Показники економіки Алжиру, можна сказати тимчасово оскільки економіка Алжиру рантьє. Очікується, що в 2022 році баланс поточного рахунку буде мати перше профіцитне сальдо з 2013 року, а міжнародні резерви зросли, зупинивши постійну тенденцію до зниження останніх років. Подібним чином у 2022 році прогнозується профіцит бюджету, що відображає несподівані прибутки від надходжень від вуглеводнів і значне недовиконання бюджетних витрат у результаті глобального відновлення та війни в Україні. Економічне відновлення посилилося, прогнозується, що зростання ВВП без вуглеводнів прискориться до 3,2% з 2,1%.The recent crisis has attracted much interest on the part of economists and prudential authorities. It resembles in some aspects: over-indebtedness widespread panic caused by the sharp devaluation of financial assets, poor management and prediction of crises by the prudential rules of Basel II. The Algerian banking authorities are engaged in a series of reforms of independence till the nowadays, to modernize their banking sectors. They include reforms to the restructuring of the liberalization and privatization of public banks, the establishment of prudential laws and systems of risk management and the strengthening of the powers of supervision. The aim of this article is to learn about the adequacy of the Basel agreements to achieve the basic ideas of reducing risks, stabilizing the financial sector, and maintaining its level of efficiency. Add to, the central idea is to show that our commercial banks are under the obstacle of the presence of the State in a very strong way in the shareholders of the banks, which weakens the regulatory governance. This obstacle more other political constraints preclude the application of the second Basel accord. This was done by first evaluating the different Basel agreements imposed internationally to banks by the Prudential Basel Committee authorities to avoid crises or at least prevent. Secondly the situation of Algerian bank compared to us neighbors and they are forced or the reasons for the slowness with the monetary authorities for the application of the agreement Basel 2, and finally analysis of some banks soundness indicators to measure the efficiency of the Algerian banking sector for the period from 2000 to 2021. The finding revealed that us to point out that they are improving for some and a slight decline for other. An analysis of the development of deposits by institutional sector appears at the end of December 2020 a decrease of -13.2% for deposits collected with public institutions and after government agencies, after the recorded height increased by 7.6% in 2018 and -2% in 2019 and 2020. These deposits moved from 3689.1billion dinars at the end of 2019 to 3202.5 billion dinars in 2020 and 3885.2 billion dinars in 2021.It also represents 33.9% of the total bank deposits collected compared to 39.3% at the end of 2019.This decline is due to the significant decrease in demand deposit for public institutions by (-18%) at the end of 2020, compared to a decrease of (-19.7%) at the end 2019. The Algerian economy’s indicators, it can be said temporarily because Algeria’s economy is rentier. In 2022, it has been expected that, the current account balance posts its first surplus since 2013 and international reserves have risen, stopping the constant downward trend of recent years. Similarly, A fiscal surplus is projected in 2022 reflecting windfall gains from hydrocarbon revenues and a significant under-implementation of budget spending, resulting from the global recovery and the war in Ukraine. The economic recovery strengthened, with non-hydrocarbon GDP growth projected to accelerate to 3.2% in from 2.1%

    Background: ‘‘Referral’’ characterises a significant area of interaction between primary and secondary care. Despite advantages, it can be inflexible, and may lead to duplication. Objective: To examine the outcomes of an integrated model that lends weight to general practitioner (GP)-led evidence based care. Design: A prospective, non-random comparison of two services: women attending the new (Bridges) pathway compared with those attending a consultant-led one-stop menstrual clinic (OSMC). Patients’ views were examined using patient career diaries, health and clinical outcomes, and resource utilisation. Follow-up was for 8 months. Setting: A large teaching hospital and general practices within one primary care trust (PCT). Results: Between March 2002 and June 2004, 99 women in the Bridges pathway were compared with 94 women referred to the OSMC by GPs from non-participating PCTs. The patient career diary demonstrated a significant improvement in the Bridges group for patient information, fitting in at the point of arrangements made for the patient to attend hospital (ease of access) (p,0.001), choice of doctor (p = 0.020), waiting time for an appointment (p,0.001), and less ‘‘limbo’’ (patient experience of non-coordination between primary and secondary care) (p,0.001). At 8 months there were no significant differences between the two groups in surgical and medical treatment rates or in the use of GP clinic appointments. Significantly fewer (traditional) hospital outpatient appointments were made in the Bridges group than in the OSMC group (p,0.001). Conclusion: A general practice-led model of integrated care can significantly reduce outpatient attendance while improving patient experience, and maintaining the quality of care

    Introduction: Nanoparticles are gaining more interest in dentistry for their antimicrobial, physical as well as other properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding two types of nanoparticles (NPs) on calcium silicate hydraulic cement’s (CSHC) unique bioactivity and antibacterial properties. Methods and Materials: Biotitania/AgCl NPs were synthetized and characterized for its morphology, types of formed functional groups and crystalline AgCl using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The former NPs and commercial titania (TiO2) NPs were added (0.5, 1.5 and 3-weight %) to commercial CSHS powder. A total of 140 disk-shaped specimens (10 mm×1 mm) were prepared (seven material groups per each test in addition to the eighth cell control group) to evaluate cell viability and alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) after 3 and 12 days, respectively. All were incubated with mesenchymal stem cells. Antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was evaluated through the bacterial growth curve slopes while being in direct contact with the tested material groups for 18 h. Results: Addition of all NPs percentages had no significant effect (P>0.05) on cell viability in comparison to positive control CSHC. Commercial TiO2 NPs (0.5 weight %) had statistically significant lower values (P≤0.05) for bacterial growth curve slope. However, addition of all NPs percentages had significantly improved (P≤0.05) the ALP activity of CSHC with the most prominent effect to 3-weight% biotitania/AgCl NPs. Conclusion: Based on this in vitro study, addition of biotitania/AgCl NPs up to 3-weight% significantly improved the bioactivity of CSHC without having a significant negative impact on its antibacterial efficacy. Interestingly, the addition of commercial TiO2 even in small amounts can significantly improve CSHC antibacterial efficacy
