Multi Station Approximation and Noise Mitigation Process to OFDM Systems Using Successive JCI
Authors: Devi N P SARADA 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The performance of OFDM systems can be sharply deteriorated with effect of impulsive noise. It’s proposed in this paper about the combined station impulse reaction approximation& impulsive noise mitigation-process on the basis of compressed-sensing concept. From these algorithms, we can treat channel impulsive responses & impulsive noise as joint sparse-vector. Thereafter, framework of sparse-Bayesian learning is utilised for helping estimating the station-impulse responses, impulsive noise & data signs. Here, data sign can be known as the unknown parameter. The Cramer Rao Lower Bound’s elaborated as the bench-mark. From all used impulse noise- mitigation techniques, proposed procedure in the paper can be used with the sub-pilot by not using past info of the station& impulsive-noise. The model outcomes conclude at the process projected in the paper improves the efficiency in the station approximation& enhances performance of bit error rate.
Financial development, heterogeneous technological progress, and carbon emissions: Empirical analysis based on Provincial Panel Data in China
Authors: Liu Renzhong , Du Jingxiu 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Global warming, caused by an increase in carbon emissions, is a phenomenon that has attracted considerable attention worldwide. Financial development affects technological progress and carbon emissions. Based on the provincial panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2006 to 2018, combined with the heterogeneity of technological progress, this study constructs an intermediary effect model for empirical analysis. Combined with different regional characteristics in the east, middle, and west of China, this study explores the impact of financial development on carbon emissions and the transmission path of heterogeneous technological progress as an intermediary variable. The results show that at the national level, in the eastern and central regions, the relationship between financial development and carbon emissions conforms to the characteristics of Environmental Kuznets curve, and the relationship between financial development and carbon emission in the western region increases linearly. Among the intermediary effect transmission paths of heterogeneous technological progress, generalised technological progress, environmental technological progress, energy technological progress, capital embodied technological progress and FDI technology spillover are the transmission paths of financial development on carbon emissions at the national level. However, after the regional division of the east, middle, and west, heterogeneous technological progress shows different carbon emission reduction effects. Through quantitative analysis, this study provides reference suggestions for financial development to help reduce carbon emissions, to prevent the emergence of ‘one size fits all’ technology policy or regional overall planning concept.
Factors constraining household willingness to pay for piped water tariffs: the case of Ekiti State, Nigeria
Authors: Adeoti O. , Fati B. O. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
One of the major problems confronting public water utilities in Nigeria is how to realise effective piped water tariff revenues collection. This study was therefore conducted to identify the major factors constraining household willingness to pay for piped water tariffs in Nigeria, using Ekiti State as a case study, and possible interventions which might help to improve the situation from the perspective of piped water customers. A tested survey has been used through a representative sampling process. The research findings were checked with additional data from relevant literature and legal documents. Findings revealed that political promise, availability of other water sources, lack of recognition of drinking water as a human right, inadequate method of collecting tariff revenues, and poor response to complaints were the major factors constraining household willingness to pay for piped water tariffs in the studied case in Nigeria. The suggested major possible interventions which might help to improve the situation include the installation of water meters, instituting a customer consultative forum, as well as putting in place improved customer relations. To be effective, it is crucial that public water utilities in Nigeria incorporate these factors into piped water supply decision-making and policy measures.
Importance of Indazole against Neurological Disorders
Authors: Pal Dilipkumar , Sahu Pooja 
Published: February 2022

Abstract:
Indazole is a nitrogen-containing bicyclic compound, having three tautomeric forms: 1Hindazole,
2H-indazole, and 3H-indazole. Mostly, they are considered as 1H-indazole tautomeric
forms, although they have the potential to tautomerism to 2H- and 3H-indazole forms. Indazoles are
involved in a wide variety of biological and enzymatic processes. Therefore, they exhibit a series of
pharmacological activities. Indazoles show potent activities against neurological disorders such as
Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), mood disorders, etc., by inhibiting different
signaling pathways and the generation of neurotransmitters and activation of enzyme activity. They
effectively prevent neurological diseases by different mechanisms, such as by inhibiting the monoamine
oxidase (MAO) and kinase enzymes like Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), and leucinerich
repeat kinase enzyme 2 (LRRK2). In this article, we have discussed multiple causative strategies
of indazole to treat neurological diseases. This has aroused special attention in the discovery of
the novel indazoles and their biological activities.

Authors: Damodar Sreedevi , Lokemoen Cidney , Gurusamy Vikram , Takhi Manpreet , Bishev Daniel , Parrill Allison , Deviney Melissa , Person Ulziibat , Korie Ijendu , Branch Romain 
Published: February 2022

Background:
With new technological advancements, adolescents can obtain
devices that give them virtually unlimited access to social media (SM) which may impact
adolescent mental health.

Objectives:
This literature review aims to evaluate the influence of social media use on
adolescent anxiety and depression.

Methods:
A literature search of PubMed from June 2010 through June 2020 was completed
for the following MeSH terms: social media, adolescent, anxiety, depression, and mental
health. English language articles that discussed adolescents aged 13 to 18 years, anxiety
and/or depression and SM were included. Extracted data included the SM platform, impact
on anxiety and depression, interventions, temporal and dose-response relationships, and
observed versus self-reported usage.

Results:
The majority of articles positively associated depression (82.6%) and anxiety
(78.3%) with SM use. depression corresponded with cyber-bullying (42.1%), negative
social perspective (21.0%), diminished self-esteem (15.8%), and sleep disturbance (10.5%).
Anxiety corresponded with a negative social perspective (44.4%), diminished self-esteem
(33.3%), sleep disturbance (16.7%), and cyber-bullying (16.7%). Many studies suggested
the use of interventions to reduce depression (72.7%) and anxiety (72.7%), such as screen
time restrictions (n=6) and social support (n=4), but lacked evaluation of their
implementation.

Conclusion:
Current literature suggests a positive association between adolescent SM use
with anxiety and depression. Our study highlights the need for further investigation of
temporal and dose-response associations between SM use and adolescent mental health, and
the potential benefits of SM-driven interventions.

Published: February 2022

BackgroundChildren raised in conditions of poverty (or near poverty) are at risk for nonoptimal mental health, educational, and occupational outcomes, many of which may be precipitated by individual differences in executive function (EF) skills that first emerge in early childhood.ObjectiveThe Brain and Early Experience study considers prenatal and postnatal experiences that may mediate the association between poverty and EF skills, including neural substrates. This paper described the study rationale and aims; research design issues, including sample size determination, the recruitment strategy, and participant characteristics; and a summary of developmental assessment points, procedures, and measures used to test the study hypotheses.MethodsThis is a prospective longitudinal study examining multiple pathways by which poverty influences normative variations in EF skills in early childhood. It is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and approved by the institutional review board.ResultsRecruitment is complete with a sample of 203 participants, and data collection is expected to continue from September 2018 to February 2024. Of those recruited as low socioeconomic status (SES), 71% (55/78) reported income-to-needs (ITN) ratios of <2.0, and 35% (27/78) reported ITN ratios of <1.0. Among participants recruited into the not-low SES stratum, only 8.8% (11/125) reported ITN ratios of <2.0, and no participant reported ITN ratios of <1.0. The average ITN ratio for participants recruited into the low-income stratum was significantly lower than the average for the high-income recruitment cell (P<.001). Comparable recruitment outcomes were observed for both Black and non-Black families. Overall, the sample has adequate diversity for testing proposed hypotheses, with 13.3% (27/203) of participants reporting ITN ratios of <1 and >32.5% (66/203) reporting ratios of <2.0.ConclusionsPreliminary results indicate that the recruitment strategy for maximizing variation in family SES was successful, including variation within race. The findings of this study will help elucidate the complex interplay between prenatal and postnatal risk factors affecting critical neurocognitive developmental outcomes in early childhood.International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)DERR1-10.2196/34854
