Relay links are expected to play a critical role in the design of wireless networks. This paper investigates energy efficiency relay communications low-power regime under two different scenarios: when has unlimited power supply and it limited supply. A system with source node, destination single operating time division duplex (TDD) mode was considered. Analysis simulations used compare required for transmitting one information bit three schemes: amplify forward (AnF), decode (DnF), block...
Power loading algorithms improve the data rates of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. However, they require transmitter to have perfect channel state information, which is impossible in most wireless We investigate effects imperfect (and thus partial) feedback on throughput OFDM Two uncertainty models are studied: 1) ergodic model, where average rate figure merit and 2) quasi-static outage relevant. Rate-power allocation developed. The achieved by these multipath...
Pain is the hallmark symptom of sickle cell disease (SCD), yet types pain that these patients experience, and underlying mechanisms, have not been well characterized. The study purpose was to determine safety utility a mechanical thermal quantitative sensory testing (QST) protocol feasibility utilizing neuropathic questionnaires among adults with SCD.A convenience sample (N = 25, 18 women, mean age 38.5 ± 12.5 [20-58 years]) completed self-report quality-of-life tools. Subjects also...
To evaluate self-reported sensory pain scores of women with generalized vulvodynia (GV) and provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), characterize phenotypes, assess feasibility using the Internet for recruitment data collection among vulvodynia.Descriptive online survey. Data collected an survey accessed via a link on National Vulvodynia Association web site. Convenience sample, 60 aged 18 to 45 years (mean = 32.7 ± 5.5); 50 white, 2 black/African American, 4 Hispanic/Latino, Native American/Alaskan...
Abstract Objective Our article demonstrates the effectiveness of using a validated framework to create ChatGPT prompt that generates valid nursing care plan suggestions for one hypothetical older patient with lung cancer. Method This study describes methodology creating prompts generate consistent and its application cancer case scenario. After entering assessment patient's condition into ChatGPT, we asked it suggestions. Subsequently, assessed quality plans produced by ChatGPT. Results...
Extended care based on self-efficacy theory to elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures will provide data reference optimize the plan of these patients, reduce patients' concurrent mental diseases, and improve prognosis. To analyze value extended nursing in older fractures. Older (n = 88) admitted our hospital between January 2021 December 2024 were randomly divided into two groups - control group 44, routine nursing) observation via balloting treated for 12 weeks. The state, pain...
PURPOSE: To reveal hidden patterns and knowledge present in nursing care information documented with standardized terminologies on end‐of‐life (EOL) hospitalized patients. METHOD: 596 episodes of that included pain as a problem patient's plan were examined using statistical data mining tools. The extracted from the Hands‐On Automated Nursing Data System database ( n = 40,747) coded NANDA‐I, Outcomes Classification, Intervention Classification (NNN) terminologies. episode (episode plans...
User cooperation can provide spatial transmit diversity gains, enhance coverage and potentially increase capacity. Existing works have focused on two-user cooperative systems with perfect channel state information at the receivers. In this paper, we develop several distributed space-time processing schemes for general N-user systems, which do not require either relays or destination. We prove that full gain be achieved in such systems. Simulations demonstrate these achieve significant performance
People with sickle cell disease (SCD) or trait (SCT) may not have information about genetic inheritance needed for making informed reproductive health decisions. CHOICES is a Web-based, multimedia educational intervention that provides options and consequences to help those SCD SCT identify implement an parenting plan. Efficacy of compared usual care must be evaluated.The purpose was compare immediate posttest effects versus attention-control (e-Book) on SCD-/SCT-related knowledge,...
To test the hypothesis that Hands-on Automated Nursing Data System (HANDS) "big picture summary" can be implemented uniformly across diverse settings, and result in positive registered nurse (RN) plan of care (POC) data outcomes time. In a longitudinal, multisite, full study, representative convenience sample eight medical-surgical units from four hospitals (one university, two large community, one small community) Midwestern state HANDS intervention for 24 (four units) or 12 months. (a) RN...
Pain in sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by episodes of acute pain, primarily responsible for health care utilization, and persistent chronic pain. severity frequency vary significantly among patients with SCD. In this study, we investigated the possible contribution monoamine gene polymorphisms to pain variation.Adult subjects SCD completed PAINReportIt, a computerized McGill Questionnaire, from which calculated Composite Index. Utilization data were obtained medical record...
Abstract Interventions to assist reproductive health decision‐making in populations affected by sickle cell disease (SCD) or trait (SCT) lack proven efficacy over time. Our aim was compare effects of CHOICES, a Web‐based multimedia education program on implementing informed plans, and usual care (e‐Book) knowledge, intention, behavior 24 months. We randomized 234 participants with SCD ( n = 138) SCT 96) (age 18–35 years, 35 % male, 94 African American) CHOICES e‐Book groups. Participants...
The spread of unvetted scientific information about COVID-19 presents a significant challenge to public health, adding the urgency for increased understanding information-seeking preferences that will allow delivery evidence-based health communication. This study examined factors associated with behavior.
The large peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission translates system performance degradation due low efficiency the presence of nonlinear amplification. To reduce PAPR, many OFDM systems have adopted windowing method. However, existing schemes suffer from limitations especially multiple closely-spaced peaks. In this paper, two new are proposed improve by taking care Simulation results show that outperform attaining significantly...
Aim: Episodes of acute pain crisis contribute to considerable morbidity and mortality in sickle cell disease (SCD). Incomprehensive understanding the underlying heterogeneity results inadequate management. The transient receptor potential (TRP) family voltage-gated ion channels acts as sensory transducers diverse noxious stimuli. We performed an association study polymorphisms candidate genes TRPV1 TRPA1 with SCD patients. Methods: Utilization rate, other words, number emergency...
