Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure to remove larger polyps or early non-metastatic lesions.It has long been used in Asia, but is now fast growing in popularity in the West.There are multiple challenges faced by ESD practitioners.While the practice of ESD in gastric lesions is relatively well establi
The main challenge for hardware implementation of non-binary LDPC decoding is the high computational complexity and large memory requirement.To address this challenge, five new low complexity LDPC decoding algorithms are proposed in this paper.The proposed algorithms are developed specifically towards the low complexity, yet effective, decoding of
The electrified environments encountered in electric vehicles (EVs) in terms of parasitic currents present significant challenges for the performance of EV bearings and their lubricants.This study investigates the effectiveness of various concentrations (0.1 wt.%, 0.2 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, and 0.4 wt.%) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and alumin
The goal of this research is to investigate whether taxation affects the leverage decisions of banks and if the response of leverage to tax increases depends on profit-shifting opportunities available to individual banks.This topic remains controversial since it is often believed that banking regulation is such an essential driver of leverage choic
