BLOCK VARIATIONAL BAYESIAN ALGORITHM FOR MULTIPLE TARGET LOCALIZATION WITH UNKNOWN AND TIME-VARYING TRANSMIT POWERS IN WSNS

Block Variational Bayesian Algorithm for Multiple Target Localization With Unknown and Time-Varying Transmit Powers in WSNs

Target localization is an important research field in wireless sensor networks and the received signal strength (RSS)-based method is of Roller particular interest.Since traditional RSS-based method is invalid for simultaneously localizing multiple targets, the compressive sensing theory has been applied to develop an effective localization framewo

Crucial role of IL1beta and C3a in the in vitro-response of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells to inflammatory mediators of polytrauma.

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exert immune-modulatory effects and support tissue regeneration in various local trauma models.In case of a polytrauma, high amounts of danger-associated molecular patterns are released, leading to a systemic increase of inflammatory mediators.The influence of such a complex inflammatory microenvironment

Is resource specialization the key?: some, but not all Red Crossbill call types associate with their key conifers in a diverse North American landscape

Red Crossbills (Fringillidae: Loxia curvirostra) are finches specialized to pry open cones and extract seeds of coniferous trees.Within the species, variable bill morphology may provide more efficient foraging on some species of conifers than others.Subgroups also have distinctly different contact calls often given in flight (hereafter, call types)
