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 …

Febrile Seizures in Children: A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract: Febrile seizures, a neurological disorder marked by neuronal hyper-excitability, are frequently seen in children aged three months to five years. They are brought on by an elevated core body temperature during a fever that was brought on by an underlying systemic infection. These infections trigger an inflammatory response in the immune system, which leads to macrophages releasing cytokines. There are two categories for febrile seizures: simple and complex. Given the …
