This paper presents a strategy to combine the antenna selection technique and the adaptive modulation method for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems.The MIMO architecture significantly improves the performance of wireless systems at the expense of a radio frequency (RF) hardware complexity.However, the advantages of MIMO systems can be ma
Genetic architecture of sex determination in fish: Applications to sex ratio control in aquaculture
Controlling the sex ratio is essential in finfish farming.A balanced sex ratio is usually good for broodstock management, since it enables to develop appropriate breeding schemes.However, in some species the production of monosex populations is desirable because the existence of arrethe bush balm sexual dimorphism, primarily in growth or first time
A Feature of Mechanics-Driven Statistical Moments of Wavelet Transform-Processed Dynamic Responses for Damage Detection in Beam-Type Structures
Multiple damage detection using structural responses only is a problem unresolved that is in the field of structural health monitoring.To address this problem, a novel feature of mechanics-driven statistical moments of wavelet transform-processed dynamic responses is proposed for multi-damage identification in beam-type structures.This feature is r
Validation of the Greek Acceptance of Modern Myths about Sexual Aggression (AMMSA) Scale: Examining Its Relationships with Sexist and Conservative Political Beliefs
The Acceptance of Modern Myths about Sexual Aggression scale measures contemporary beliefs about sexual aggression that tend to blame victims and read more exonerate perpetrators.A Greek version of the thirty-item AMMSA scale was administered to two diverse convenience samples, one in Greece and one in Cyprus.Convergent and discriminant construct v
The effectiveness of cucurbitacin B in BRCA1 defective breast cancer cells.
Cucurbitacin B (CuB) is one of the potential agents for long term anticancer chemoprevention.Cumulative evidences has shown that cucurbitacin B provides potent cellular biological activities such as hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, but the precise mechanism of this agent is not clearly understood.We examine the read mo
