A universal approach to coverage probability and throughput analysis for cellular networks
This paper proposes a novel tractable approach for accurately analyzing both the coverage probability and the achievable throughput of cellular networks. Specifically, we derive a new procedure referred to as the equivalent uniformdensity plane-entity (EUDPE)method for evaluating the other-cell interference. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our EUDPE method provides a universal and effective means to carry out the lower bound analysis of both the coverage probability and the average throughput for various base-station distribution models that can be found in practice, including the stochastic Poisson point process (PPP) model, a uniformly and randomly distributed model, and a deterministic grid-based model. The lower bounds of coverage probability and average throughput calculated by our proposed method agree with the simulated coverage probability and average throughput results and those obtained by the existing PPP-based analysis, if not better. Moreover, based on our new definition of cell edge boundary, we show that the cellular topology with randomly distributed base stations (BSs) only tends toward the Voronoi tessellation when the path-loss exponent is sufficiently high, which reveals the limitation of this popular network topology
TFDet: Target-aware Fusion for RGB-T Pedestrian Detection
Pedestrian detection plays a critical role in computer vision as it
contributes to ensuring traffic safety. Existing methods that rely solely on
RGB images suffer from performance degradation under low-light conditions due
to the lack of useful information. To address this issue, recent multispectral
detection approaches have combined thermal images to provide complementary
information and have obtained enhanced performances. Nevertheless, few
approaches focus on the negative effects of false positives caused by noisy
fused feature maps. Different from them, we comprehensively analyze the impacts
of false positives on the detection performance and find that enhancing feature
contrast can significantly reduce these false positives. In this paper, we
propose a novel target-aware fusion strategy for multispectral pedestrian
detection, named TFDet. Our fusion strategy highlights the pedestrian-related
features while suppressing unrelated ones, resulting in more discriminative
fused features. TFDet achieves state-of-the-art performance on both KAIST and
LLVIP benchmarks, with an efficiency comparable to the previous
state-of-the-art counterpart. Importantly, TFDet performs remarkably well even
under low-light conditions, which is a significant advancement for ensuring
road safety. The code will be made publicly available at

Clinical investigation on angle-closure glaucoma patients with cataract treated by phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy
AIM: To investigate the effectiveness of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation combined with trabeculectomy in patients with cataract and angle-closure glaucoma.<p>METHODS: In 36 cases(46 eyes)of angle-closure glaucoma with cataract, phacoemulsification with foldable IOL implantation combined with trabeculectomy was performed. Data of pre- and post-operation, including visual acuity, intraocular pressure, filtering bleb, anterior chamber depth, chamber angle, and funds were all recorded and analyzed in detail.<p>RESULTS: During the follow-up of 3 months to 2 years,visual acuity of 43 eyes(93.5%)got improved, and intraocular pressure in 44 eyes(95.7%)were controlled in normal range(<21mmHg). Mean anterior chamber depth of 35 patients(46 eyes)got deeper from 2.1mm to 3.8mm(average 2.1±0.3mm to 3.8±0.4mm)after operation, with chamber angle opened to some extent. Six eyes(13.0%)got mild to moderate corneal edema, without corneal endothelial decompensation.<p>CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation combined with trabeculectomy is an effective and safe surgical technique for patients with angle-closure glaucoma and cataract, with satisfied control of intraocular pressure, deepening of anterior chamber, opening of anterior chamber angle, and improving visual function
Magnetothermoelectric DC conductivities from holography models with hyperscaling factor in Lifshitz spacetime
We investigate an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion holographic model and obtain
two branches of a charged black hole solution with a dynamic exponent and a
hyperscaling violation factor when a magnetic field presents. The
magnetothermoelectric DC conductivities are then calculated in terms of horizon
data by means of holographic principle. We find that linear temperature
dependence resistivity and quadratic temperature dependence inverse Hall angle
can be achieved in our model. The well-known anomalous temperature scaling of
the Nernst signal and the Seebeck coefficient of cuprate strange metals are
also discussed.Comment: 1+23 pages, 4 figures, references adde
5-Methyl-3,3-bisÂ(morpholin-4-yl)-1-[2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethÂyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one
In the title compound, C23H34N4O4, the morpholine rings adopt chair conformations. The N atom of the indol-2-one group is linked to the N atom of one morpholine ring through a flexible ethyl group with an almost cif conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O interactions into infinite chains along the c direction. The almost parallel infinite chains are further interÂconnected via other sets of C—H⋯O interÂactions, forming a three-dimensional framework
A Hop-by-Hop Relay Selection Strategy in Multi-Hop Cognitive Relay Networks
In this paper, a hop-by-hop relay selection strategy for multi-hop underlay cognitive relay networks (CRNs) is proposed. In each stage, relays that successfully decode the message from previous hop form a decoding set. Taking both maximum transmit power and maximum interference constraints into consideration, the relay in the decoding set which has the largest number of channels with an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) level to the relays in the next stage is selected for retransmission. Therefore, relay selection in each stage only relies on channel state information (CSI) of the channels in that stage and does not require the CSI of any other stage. We analyze the performance of the proposed strategy in terms of endto-end outage probability and throughput, and show that the results match those obtained from simulation closely. Moreover, we derive the asymptotic end-to-end outage probability of the proposed strategy when there is no upper bound on transmitters’ power. We compare this strategy to other hop-by-hop strategies that have appeared recently in the literature and show that this strategy has the best performance in terms of outage probability and throughput. Finally it is shown that the outage probability and throughput of the proposed strategy are very close to that of exhaustive strategy which provides a lower bound for outage probability and an upper bound for throughput of all path selection strategies
