Terahertz (THz) communications with a frequency band 0.1 – 10 THz are envisioned as a promising solution to future high-speed wireless communication.Although with tens of gigahertz available bandwidth, THz signals suffer from severe free-spreading loss and molecular-absorption loss, which limit the wireless transmission distance.To compensat
Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a powerful new technology with the potential to transform and decentralize the way our cell phone networks currently work.The purpose of MEC is to process the intensive mobile applications in the available resources, which are embedded in the base station of the cell phone systems and closer to users (i.e., MEC suppor

Abstract Background Soy protein and soy peptides have attracted considerable attention because of their potentially beneficial biological properties, including antihypertensive, anticarcinogenic, and hypolipidemic effects.Although soy protein isolate contains several bioactive peptides that have distinct physiological activities in lipid metabolism
Trophy hunting is one of the most controversial issues in the field of biodiversity conservation.In particular, proponents and opponents debate fiercely over whether it poses a threat to hunted populations.Here, we show that trophy hunting constitutes a greater menace to threatened species than previously realized.Because humans value rarity, targe
