T-Dagum: A Way of Generalizing Dagum Distribution Using Lomax Quantile Function by Matthew I. Ekum, Muminu O. Adamu, Eno E. Akarawak

“…Recently, different distributions have been generalized using the T-R {Y} framework but the possibility of using Dagum distribution has not been assessed. The T-R {Y} combines three distributions, with one as a baseline distribution, with the strength of each distribution combined to produce greater effect on the new generated distribution. …”

Pilot allocation based on user location information in massive MIMO systems by Jia-liang DU, Lin YANG, Xin-lei SONG

“…In order to so1ve the prob1em of pi1ot contamination in massive MIMO systems，a pi1ot a11ocation scheme based on user 1ocation information was proposed.The proposed scheme arranged the users according to the po1ar ang1e of the user 1ocation in the po1ar coordinate system with the base station of the ce11 as the po1e，and assigned the pi1ots sequentia11y.Combining with the characteristics of directiona1 antenna，the scheme can reduce the pi1ot contamination and improve the achievab1e rate of the system by contro11ing the mu1tip1exing distance of the pi1ot to a far range.Simu1ation resu1ts show that the proposed scheme can not on1y reduce the pi1ot po11ution between users，but a1so reduce the performance gap between different users and improve the fairness of the system.…”

Impact of Novel Resistance Profiles in HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase on Phenotypic Resistance to NVP by Liyan Jiao, Hanping Li, Lin Li, Daomin Zhuang, Yongjian Liu, Zuoyi Bao, Siyang Liu, Jingyun Li

“…For the strains containing K101Q, V179D, and K103N, the presence of Y181C/H221Y combination decreased NVP susceptibility by 100.6±32.5 to 3444.6±834.5 fold. …”
