Ischemic stroke, which is the second highest cause of death and the leading cause of disability,
represents ~71% of all strokes globally. Some studies have found that the key elements …

The coupling effect of mechanical and environmental loads is the main cause of deterioration
in the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, most studies on the …

Analog beamforming with phased arrays is a promising technique for 5G wireless
communication at millimeter wave frequencies. Using a discrete codebook consisting of multiple …

Background Pituitary adenomas are one type of intracranial tumor, which can be divided into
microadenoma (≤ 1 cm), macroadenoma (> 1 cm), and giant adenoma (≥ 4 cm) according …

Multi-Target Multi-Camera tracking is a fundamental task for intelligent traffic systems. The

A series of quantum voting protocols of continuous variables is proposed. Three methods are
employed to ensure that the quantum voting obeys some desirable rules. Entanglement is …

This work studies the effect of fine aggregate characteristics on the thresholds of self-compacting
paste rheological properties. Fine aggregate characteristics consist of gradation and …

To the Editor A recent article1 estimated trends in prevalence, awareness, treatment, and risk
factors for diabetes in China from 2013 to 2018 based on national data. However, we have …

In radio-frequency systems that drive coupled dissipative loads, the matching network between
the amplifiers and their loads needs to account for the coupling. With N amplifiers driving …

This work studies the effects of coarse aggregate content on the paste rheological thresholds
of fresh self-compacting concrete (SCC). A new mechanical model for highly flowable SCC …
