On -subharmonic ordering of measures
We study an order-relation induced by -subharmonic functions. We shall consider maximality with respect to this order and a related notion of minimality for certain -subharmonic functions. This concept is then applied to the problem of convergence of measures in the weak*-topology, in particular Hessian measures
Trade in wild anurans vectors the urodelan pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into Europe
Pathogen pollution has caused dramatic losses of amphibian diversity on a global scale. The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been hypothesized to have its origin in Asian urodelan populations, from which it may have been introduced to Europe through the trade in live urodelans. We here show that Bsal is present on wild small-webbed fire-bellied toads (Bombina microdeladigitora) from Vietnam and on representatives of the same species that have recently been imported in Germany. This finding suggests that the installment of measures to mitigate the Bsal threat through the amphibian trade should not be limited to urodeles, but should equally take anurans into account
Outage performance analysis of non-orthogonal multiple access with time-switching energy harvesting
In recent years, although non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has shown its potentials thanks to its ability to enhance the performance of future wireless communication networks, a number of issues emerge related to the improvement of NOMA systems. In this work, we consider a half-duplex (HD) relaying cooperative NOMA network using decode-and-forward (DF) transmission mode with energy harvesting (Ell) capacity, where we assume the NOMA destination (D) is able to receive two data symbols in two continuous time slots which leads to the higher transmission rate than traditional relaying networks. To analyse EH, we deploy time-switching (TS) architecture to comprehensively study the optimal transmission time and outage performance at D. In particular, we are going to obtain closed-form expressions for outage probability (OP) with optimal TS ratio for both data symbols with both exact and approximate forms. The given simulation results show that the placement of the relay (R) plays an important role in the system performance.Web of Science253918
Structure of spaces of germs of holomorphic functions
Let be a Frechet (resp. Frechet-Hilbert) space. It is shown that (resp. ) if and only if [\Cal H(O_E)]'\in(\Omega) (resp. [\Cal H(O_E)]'\in (DN)). Moreover it is also shown that if and only if \Cal H_b(E')\in (DN). In the nuclear case these results were proved by Meise and Vogt \cite{2}
After-Fatigue Condition: A Novel Analysis Based on Surface EMG Signals
This study introduces a novel muscle activation analysis based on surface
electromyography (sEMG) signals to assess the muscle's after-fatigue condition.
Previous studies have mainly focused on the before-fatigue and fatigue
conditions. However, a comprehensive analysis of the after-fatigue condition
has been overlooked. The proposed method analyzes muscle fatigue indicators at
various maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) levels to compare the
before-fatigue, fatigue, and after-fatigue conditions using amplitude-based,
spectral-based, and muscle fiber conduction velocity (CV) parameters. In
addition, the contraction time of each MVC level is also analyzed with the same
indicators. The results show that in the after-fatigue condition, the muscle
activation changes significantly in the ways such as higher CV, power spectral
density shifting to the right, and longer contraction time until exhaustion
compared to the before-fatigue and fatigue conditions. The results can provide
a comprehensive and objective evaluation of muscle fatigue and recovery, which
can be helpful in clinical diagnosis, rehabilitation, and sports performance
An update review of biological activity of essential oils from Curcuma genus
Curcuma L. is one of the largest genera (about 108 species) belonging to Zingiberaceae family. Many Curcuma plants have been used for many purposes, including possessing preservative, flavoring, and medicinal properties. Curcuma plants are a prominent material for extracting essential oils (EOs). Over the last five years, many studies have been reported for the biological effects of the EOs isolated from Curcumaplants such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-trypanosomal, antileishmanial, anti?acetylcholinesterase, antiproliferative, cytotoxic, larvicidal, and insecticidal activities. In this brief review, an updated version of the bioactivities of EOs from different species belonging to Curcuma genus are presented
On the finite energy classes of quaternionic plurisubharmonic functions
We investigate the finite -energy classes of quaternionic
plurisubharmonic functions of Cegrell type. We also construct an example to
show that the optimal constant in the energy estimate is strictly bigger than
for , . This leads us to the fact that we can not use the
variational method to solve the quaternionic Monge-Amp\`ere equation for the
classes when ,
