Opportunistic Coexistence of LTE and WiFi for Future 5G System: Experimental Performance Evaluation and Analysis

To alleviate the problem of scarce spectrum resources and meet the ever-increasing of mobile broadband data traffic demands, Licensed Assisted Access (LAA)-Long Term Evolution (LTE), operating in the unlicensed spectrum, is a promising solution.Considering that the unlicensed spectrum is shared by a few incumbent systems, such as IEEE 802.11 (i.e.,

A Subthreshold Operation Series-Parallel Charge Pump Incorporating Dynamic Source-Fed Oscillator for Wide-Input-Voltage Energy Harvesting Application

This work proposes a CMOS reconfigurable charge pump (CP) for a low-voltage energy harvesting system.It utilizes the low effective resistance from the parallel CP to enhance its power conversion efficiency (PCE).The CP exhibits an adaptive configuration with different stages depending on the input voltage, changing its read more voltage conversion

Laboratory evaluation of Mesocyclops annulatus (Wierzejski, 1892) (Copepoda: Cyclopidea) as a predator of container-breeding mosquitoes in Argentina

In laboratory bioassays we tested the predatory capacity of the copepod Mesocyclops annulatus on Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens larvae.A single adult female of M.annulatus caused 51.6% and 52.3% mortality of 50 first instar larvae of Ae.aegypti and Cx.pipiens respectively, in a 72 h test period.When alternative food was added to the containers, mo
