Antenna and Beam-Control Optimization of RIS-Assisted 6G Links: Phase Resolution, Directivity and Energy Efficiency
Abstract: This paper presents an antenna-oriented investigation of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted sixth- generation (6G) wireless links, emphasizing practical design factors beyond conventional RIS versus non-RIS bit-error-rate comparisons. Four parameters are evaluated: phase-shifter resolution, reflected-beam directivity, aperture-dependent spectral efficiency, and controller-aware energy efficiency. A Rayleigh-fading binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) link is used for reliability analysis, while the RIS is modeled as a uniformly spaced reflective aperture through its array factor. The …

Spermmediated gene transfer revisited: optimizing delivery, integration, and germline transmissionin large animal models
Abstract: Spermmediated gene transfer (SMGT) exploits the natural role of spermatozoa as DNA vectors to deliver exogenous genetic material to oocytes, potentially enabling economical production of transgenic large animals without complex embryo micromanipulation (1). Early proofofconcept studies established that mammalian sperm can bind, internalize, and protect exogenous DNA, leading to integration, expression, and germline transmission in various species, including pigs (24). Subsequent mechanistic work has challenged the traditional view of sperm …
