In this work, we consider the pros and cons of using various layers of keyless coding to achieve secure and reliable communication over the Gaussian wiretap channel.We define a new approach to information theoretic security, called practical secrecy and the secrecy benefit, to be used over Conversion Kit real-world channels and finite blocklength i
Abstract Background Poor access to prompt and effective treatment for malaria contributes to high mortality and severe morbidity.In Kenya, it is estimated that only 12% of children receive anti-malarials for their fever within 24 hours.The first point of care for many fevers is a local medicine retailer, such as a pharmacy or chemist.The role of th
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as a double-edged sword in cancer, where low levels of ROS are beneficial but excessive accumulation leads to cancer progression.Elevated levels of ROS in cancer are counteracted by the antioxidant defense system.An imbalance between ROS generation and the antioxidant system alters gene expression and cellular sign
Gene duplication often provides selective advantages for the survival of microorganisms in adapting to varying environmental conditions.P.aeruginosa PAO1 possesses two seven-gene operons [phz1 (phzA1B1C1D1E1F1G1) and phz2 (phzA2B2C2D2E2F2G2)] that are involved in the biosynthesis of phenazine-1-carboxylic Bone Support Formulas acid and its derivati
There is a renewed debate about whether multidivisional firms allocate resources efficiently across their Bone Support Formulas divisions.This paper contributes to the literature on this debate by developing and testing a conceptual framework that links resource allocation efficiency to three forms of firm-level diversity: diversity in industry-spe
