We possess an acute sense of temperature. Most of us seek shade on a hot summer day,
prefer a warm shower to a cold one, and enjoy red wines served at a temperature of 15–18C. …

The abilities to sense environmental and internal temperatures are required for survival,
both for maintenance of homeostasis and for avoidance of tissue-damaging noxious …

Every year, new public health mass media campaigns are launched attempting to change
health behavior and improve health outcomes. These campaigns enter a crowded media …

For the familiar Fibonacci sequence (defined by $ f_1= f_2= 1$, and $ f_n= f_ {n-1}+ f_ {n-2}
$ for $ n> 2$), $ f_n $ increases exponentially with $ n $ at a rate given by the golden ratio $(…

The past decade has seen many advances in physical layer wireless communication theory
and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the …

The phenomenon of bursting, in which streaks in turbulent boundary layers oscillate and
then eject low-speed fluid away from the wall, has been studied experimentally, theoretically …

We provide an overview of the extensive results on the Shannon capacity of single-user and
multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Although enormous capacity …

Multiuser diversity is a form of diversity inherent in a wireless network, provided by independent
time-varying channels across the different users. The diversity benefit is exploited by …

We consider a multiuser multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) Gaussian broadcast channel
(BC), where the transmitter and receivers have multiple antennas. Since the MIMO BC is in …

Online social networks have become extremely popular; numerous sites allow users to interact
and share content using social links. Users of these networks often establish hundreds to …
