Optimization of collaborative spectrum sensing with limited time resource
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource ...
Yttrium oxide nanoparticle loaded scaffolds with enhanced cell adhesion and vascularization for tissue engineering applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In situ tissue engineering is emerging as a novel approach in tissue engineering to repair damaged tissues by boosting the natural ability of the body to heal itself. This can be achieved by providing suitable signals and ...
