This study investigates the fabrication of a composite film composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glycerol, incorporating nanosilica derived from municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (BA).The nanosilica is blended with a PVA film-forming solution containing glycerol Toys as a plasticizer.The composite films are characterized using Fourier
Analytical Approximation-Based Machine Learning Methods for User Positioning in Distributed Massive MIMO
We propose a machine learning approach, based on analytical inference in Gaussian process regression (GP), to locate users from their uplink received signal strength (RSS) data in a distributed massive multiple-input-multiple-output setup.The training RSS data is considered noise-free, while the test RSS data is assumed to be noisy due to shadowing
Fano Metamaterials on Nanopedestals for Plasmon-Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy
Abstract We report a sensing platform for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy, based on Fano metamaterials (FMMs) on dielectric nanopedestals.FMMs consist of two parallel gold (Au) nanorod antennas, with a small horizontal coupler attached to one of the nanorod antenna.When placed on SiO2 dielectric nanopedestals, which exhibi
Treatment of Proximal Femoral Fractures in Patients with COVID-19
Background.In relation with the COVID-19 new coronavirus infection epidemic that began in Russia in the spring of 2020, a completely new group of patients appeared: patients whose coronavirus infection was combined with the proximal femur fractures.In the course of practical work, hospital doctors had to gain experience in treating these complex pa
EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL TRENDS IN ROMANIA
This paper deals with demographic trends in Romania and their influence on the labour market.In this context, unemployment and emigration are factors that play a significant role Animal Patch in the economy.The decline in employment weakens the social security system as employers and Munsters employees have to pay greater contributions.Also, the di
