This letter investigates a fluid antenna system (FAS) where multiple ports can be activated for signal combining for enhanced receiver performance. Given $M$ ports at the FAS, the best $K$ ports out of the $M$ available ports are selected before maximum ratio combining (MRC) is used to combine the received signals from...

In the double-cone ignition inertial confinement fusion scheme, high density DT fuel is rapidly heated with high-flux fast electrons, which are generated by short and intense laser pulses. Gold cone target is usually used to shorten the distance between the critical surface and the compressed high density DT core. The ...

Electronic Health Record (EHR) has become an essential tool in the healthcare ecosystem, providing authorized clinicians with patients' health-related information for better treatment. While most developed countries are taking advantage of EHRs to improve their healthcare system, it remains challenging in developing co...

Robust header compression (ROHC), critically positioned between the network and the MAC layers, plays an important role in modern wireless communication systems for improving data efficiency. This work investigates bi-directional ROHC (BD-ROHC) integrated with a novel architecture of reinforcement learning (RL). We for...

A phase field approach is proposed to model the chemotaxis of Dictyostelium discoideum. In this framework, motion is controlled by active forces as determined by the Meinhardt model of chemical dynamics which is used to simulate directional sensing during chemotaxis. Then, the movement of the cell is achieved by the ph...

Information on archives from the 1950s of 15 astronomical observatories is provided beginning with a list of correspondence and other information related to astronomy of the Copenhagen University Observatory in the 1950s. The Appendix contains information from the 14 other observatories about their archives from those ...

Domain shift caused by, e.g., different geographical regions or acquisition conditions is a common issue in machine learning for global scale satellite image processing. A promising method to address this problem is domain adaptation, where the training and the testing datasets are split into two or multiple domains ac...
