Resource allocation scheme for IRS assisted heterogeneous SWIPT-NOMA system by JI Wei, LIU Ziqing

“…For the passive beamforming optimization sub-problem of IRS phase shift, the sequential rank-one constraint relaxation approach was used to solve it. Simulation results show that the base station transmission power of the IRS-assisted communication system is significantly lower than that of the non-IRS scheme, the base station transmission power of IRS-assisted NOMA communication system is lower than that of IRS-assisted orthogonal multiple access communication system, the base station transmission power of the IRS-assisted PS-SWIPT system is lower than that of the IRS-assisted TS-SWIPT system.…”

MS-1 by Sofia M. Pereira PhD, Steve R. Williams PhD, Patricia Murray PhD, Arthur Taylor PhD

“…In such systems, the expression of the bacterial genes in mammalian cells purportedly leads to greater concentrations of intracellular iron or the biomineralization of iron oxides, thus leading to an enhancement in relaxation rate that is detectable via MRI. Here, we show that the constitutive expression of the magA gene from Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum is tolerated by human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells but induces a strong toxic effect in murine mesenchymal/stromal cells and kidney-derived stem cells, severely restricting its effective use as a reporter gene for stem cells. …”
