Energy Efficient Coordinated Beamforming for Multi-cell MISO Systems
In this paper, we investigate the optimal energy efficient coordinated
beamforming in multi-cell multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems with
multiple-antenna base stations (BS) and single-antenna mobile stations
(MS), where each BS sends information to its own intended MS with cooperatively
designed transmit beamforming. We assume single user detection at the MS by
treating the interference as noise. By taking into account a realistic power
model at the BS, we characterize the Pareto boundary of the achievable energy
efficiency (EE) region of the links, where the EE of each link is defined
as the achievable data rate at the MS divided by the total power consumption at
the BS. Since the EE of each link is non-cancave (which is a non-concave
function over an affine function), characterizing this boundary is difficult.
To meet this challenge, we relate this multi-cell MISO system to cognitive
radio (CR) MISO channels by applying the concept of interference temperature
(IT), and accordingly transform the EE boundary characterization problem into a
set of fractional concave programming problems. Then, we apply the fractional
concave programming technique to solve these fractional concave problems, and
correspondingly give a parametrization for the EE boundary in terms of IT
levels. Based on this characterization, we further present a decentralized
algorithm to implement the multi-cell coordinated beamforming, which is shown
by simulations to achieve the EE Pareto boundary.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to be presented in IEEE GLOBECOM 201
Diethyl 2,5-diphenylfuran-3,4-dicarboxylate
In the title compound, C22H20O5, the substituted benzene rings are twisted away from the furan ring, making dihedral angles of 54.91 (14) and 20.96 (15)° with the furan ring. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 46.89 (13)°. One ethyl group of one ethoxycarbonyl unit is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.56 (12) and 0.44 (12). In the crystal, weak intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the c axis

Attenuation by dextromethorphan on the higher liability to morphine-induced reward, caused by prenatal exposure of morphine in rat offspring
Co-administration of dextromethorphan (DM) with morphine during pregnancy and throughout lactation has been found to reduce morphine physical dependence and tolerance in rat offspring. No evidence was presented, however, for the effect of DM co-administered with morphine during pregnancy on morphine-induced reward and behavioral sensitization (possibly related to the potential to induce morphine addiction) in morphine-exposed offspring. Conditioned place preference and locomotor activity tests revealed that the p60 male offspring of chronic morphine-treated female rats were more vulnerable to morphine-induced reward and behavioral sensitization. The administration of a low dose of morphine (1 mg/kg, i.p.) in these male offspring also increased the dopamine and serotonin turnover rates in the nucleus accumbens, which implied that they were more sensitive to morphine. Co-administration of DM with morphine in the dams prevented this adverse effect of morphine in the offspring rats. Thus, DM may possibly have a great potential in the prevention of higher vulnerability to psychological dependence of morphine in the offspring of morphine-addicted mothers
