Influence of quadrature transformation imbalance on the noise immunity of signal reception with amplitude-phase shift keying by G. V. Kulikov, X. Kh. Dang

“…The studies enabled us to conclude that an imbalance of the quadrature reference oscillations can lead to a significant decrease in the noise immunity of radio systems using APSK signals. The minimum energy loss due to imbalance of quadrature reference oscillations is achieved when the imbalance value is less than 10% in amplitude and 2°–3° in phase. …”

Prevalence and correlates of loneliness in the later life—insights from Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave-1 by Priya Srivastava, Manushi Srivastava

“…The prevalence of loneliness among elderly was found to be maximum in Andaman and Nicobar Island and minimum in Tripura. Age, current marital status, region, religion, MPCE quintile, number of chronic conditions, number of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) difficulties, involvement in physical activity, involvement in yoga/meditation, number of social networks, participation in social activities, and involvement in leisure activities like reading books, watching TV, or using computer were found to be significantly associated with loneliness. …”
