B12 Deficiency and Clinical Presentation in the Setting of Nitric Oxide Use by Donald Mario Robert Harker, Bridget Martinez, Burton J. Tabaac

“…Uncommonly suspected causes of B12 deficiency include the abuse of recreational nitrous oxide (NO) given its interference with cobalt oxidation. Here, we report two cases of hypovitaminosis B12 in association with NO abuse in an effort to highlight an increasingly dangerous trend with recreational use. …”

Prediction of heterogeneous nucleation condensation effect on the surface of respiratory coal dust and test of dust reduction test by Hanyi LIN, Liang YUAN, Bingyou JIANG, Yuqian ZHANG, Yifan WANG, Haoyu WANG

“…The multivariate nonlinear regression model based on the combination of various methods has better prediction accuracy and small error, and can be used to quantify the condensation effect of coal dust particles nucleation under the condition of temperature and humidity interference in a certain range. The problem of poor surface wettability of coal dust can be effectively solved by using particle nucleation condensation and spray, and the dust removal efficiency is increased by 131.84% compared with pure water spray.…”

Improved LDPC-based short-range frequency-hopping wireless communication system by Wei-dong FANG, Wu-xiong ZHANG, Ming-ming HU, Wei CHEN, Yang YANG

“…In short-range wireless communication system(SWCS)，the complex scenarios make its transmission face the diverse interference，and lower hardware resource leads to its limited anti-interference capability.To achieve the reliable transmission，a frequency-hopping-based SWCS (FH-SWCS)with improved LDPC (I-LDPC) code was constructed.In FH-SWCS，a low-complexity check-sum updating(LCU)algorithm was proposed to reduce the amount of computation.LCU-based multi-threshold bit flipping (LCU-MTBF) algorithm was given to increase the reliability of bit-flipping， improving decoding performance and reduce the complexity of decoding.The simulation results demonstrate that LCU is suitable for multiple hard decisions decoding algorithm，and it can reduce the computational complexity of original decoding algorithm without affecting its performance.When BER is 10⁻⁵，and iterations number is 5，0.15dB performance gain can be achieved，and the number of additions algorithm can be reduced about 40% in LCU-MTBF.In FH-SWCS with I-LDPC，when BER is 10⁻⁴，and SNR is 15dB，the performance gain about 7dB can be achieved to improve the anti-interference of the system effectively.…”
