This paper analyzes the physical layer security performance of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) systems turbo air m3f72-3-n with the assistance of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) and aims to reveal the primary factors that enhance PLS.First, closed-form expressions for the connection outage probability (COP) and secrecy outage probabi

Abstract The occurrence of whole-genome duplication or polyploidy may promote plant adaptability to harsh environments.Here, we clarify the evolutionary relationship of eight GhCIPK6 homologous genes in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).Gene expression and interaction analyses indicate that GhCIPK6 homologous genes show significant functional chan
