The effect of the maritime environment on radio frequency (RF) propagation is not well understood.In this work, we study the propagation of ad hoc 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless local area network systems typically used for near-shore operation of unmanned surface vehicles.In previous work, maritime RF propagation performance is evaluated by collecting
Correlation of Blood and Salivary Levels of Zinc, Iron and Copper in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: An Investigational Study
Background: Memorial Keychain Gift Box Metals like copper, iron and zinc have been suggested to modulate free radical generation and carcinogenesis.In lieu of these observations, estimation of these metals is vital and most studies have been with the blood.Objectives: In the present study we estimated the levels of these metals in both serum and sa
Combined ATR and DNA-PK Inhibition Radiosensitizes Tumor Cells Independently of Their p53 Status
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a significant cause of cancer deaths.Cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is a standard of care for locally advanced disease.ATR and DNA-PK inhibition (DNA-PKi) are actively being investigated in clinical trials with preclinical data supporting clinical translation as radiosensitizers.Here, we hypothesi
Water Vapor Changes Affect Cross-Seasonal Strong Drought Events in the Eastern Region of Northwest China
Drought in eastern Northwest China (ENC) is severely affected by water vapor conditions.An in-depth study of the primary sources of water vapor and its characteristics, at intraseasonal and interannual timescales, was conducted.This information is crucial for further study of the causes and mechanisms of extreme droughts and floods in the ENC.This
