Non-terrestrial networks have been recognized as a key technology for providing a ubiquitous coverage in 5G, 6G, and beyond, where high-altitude platform stations (HAPSs) are an indispensable node.Spectrum sharing in integrated HAPS-terrestrial networks is an important task for achieving high spectral efficiency.This study proposes a novel three-st
Prophylactic cranial irradiation-related lymphopenia affects survival in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer
Background: The study aimed to identify the relations of the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) nadir during prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) and patient outcomes in limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).Methods: We analyzed 268 L S-SCLC patients who underwent PCI from 2012 to 2019.ALC values were collected prior, during, and 3 months
Association between fluid overload and mortality in children with sepsis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Sepsis is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Fluid resuscitation is among the most common interventions and is associated with fluid overload (FO) in some patients.The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarise the available evidence on the association between FO and morbimortality in
The Effects of Silica on Growth and Yield of Chrysanthemum Plants (Dendranthema Sp.) Cultivar Sheena and Snow White
Silica is one of beneficial nutrient in plants.Silica functions to strengthen epidermal wall and vascular tissues so that it can affect the stems that are getting bigger and stronger.The present study was conducted to determine the effects of silica fertilizers on growth and yield of chrysanthemum plants in Sheena and Snow White varieties that Abov
Look at the Beat, Feel the Meter:Top-down Effects of Meter Induction on Auditory and Visual Modalities
Recent research has demonstrated top-down effects on meter induction in the auditory modality.However, little is known about these effects in the visual domain, especially without the involvement of motor acts such as tapping.In the present study, we aim to assess whether the projection of meter on auditory beats is also present in the visual domai
