In order to improve the spectrum efficiency with low complexity, we propose a joint hybrid precoding algorithm for single-user mmWave MIMO systems in this paper. By using the concept of equivalent channel, the proposed algorithm skillfully utilizes the idea of alternating optimization to complete the design of RF precoder and combiner. Then, the baseband precoder and combiner are computed by calculating the singular value decomposition of the equivalent channel. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve satisfactory performance with quite low complexity. Moreover, we investigate the effects of quantization on the analog components and find that the proposed scheme is effective even with coarse quantization.展开更多

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcome after surgical repair of the dorsal capsulo-ligamentous complex. Materials and methods: Eight patients with a mean age of 39.8 years (range, 23 - 56 years) treated for the thumb CMC joint were treated in our hospital between 2008 and 2018. The ruptured dorsal capsulo-ligamentous complex was repaired using suture anchors in all patients, and the joint was immobilized with a Kirschner wire pinning and splint for 3 weeks. The clinical outcome was assessed by measuring the range of motion of the thumb CMC joint and the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand version of the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Q-DASH-JSSH) score. Results: The mean radial abduction of the thumb CMC joint was 66°, and the volar abduction was 63°. The mean Q-DASH-JSSH score was 4.8 (range, 0 - 15.6). There were no cases of infection, nerve disturbance, or osteoarthritis. Anatomical reduction was observed in seven patients at the final follow-up and in a rugby football player at 6 months of follow-up;however, subluxation of the thumb CMC joint at 12 months of follow-up due to reinjury was observed. Conclusion: Surgical repair of the dorsal capsulo-ligamentous complex with suture anchors is a reliable and simple treatment for acute unstable dislocation of the thumb CMC joint.展开更多

Effects of different corrosion pit sizes, crack aspect ratios, and crack depths on stress intensity factor are analyzed. The results show that pit depth plays a major role in stress intensity factor, while the effect of pit radius is relatively small. The cracking modes of the surface and the deepest point are mode I, and mixed modes I and II, respectively. Effects of pit depths, crack aspect ratios, and crack depths on the stress intensity factor at the surface point are greater than at the deepest point.展开更多
