Abstract: Described is a method of reducing uplink inter-cell interference in a cellular communications network. The method comprises identifying in a cell any user equipments (UEs) which are susceptible to interference (ISUs) from another UE, particularly another UE in a neighboring cell. The method includes identifying in said cell any UEs causing interference (ICUs) to at least one neighboring cell and, more particularly, causing interference to a UE in a neighboring cell. The identified ISUs and ICUs are combined into a priority list for frequency resource reservation or allocation in said cell. The method may include limiting the identification of ISUs and ICUs to a selected number of UEs within the cell.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel peptides (e.g., peptides, macrocyclic peptides, mini-proteins) that modulate protein-protein interactions or salts thereof, and methods of making and using the inventive peptides. In some embodiments, the peptides are high affinity inhibitors (e.g., KD of at most 100 nM, at most 10 nM, at most 1 nM) of a protein-protein interaction. In certain embodiments, these peptides interfere with p53-MDM2 binding interactions (e.g., by binding to MDM2 (GenBank® Gene ID: 4193)). In some embodiments, the peptides interfere with the dimerization of the C-terminal domain of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) capsid protein (C-CA), comprising residues 146-231 of the HIV capsid protein (e.g., by binding to the C-terminal domain of the HIV capsid protein (C-CA), thereby inhibiting the dimeric interface of HIV capsid protein, thereby inhibiting viral assembly).

Abstract: Previous hybrid-anion and cation-redox (HACR) cathodes were limited in cycling performance by irreversible anionic redox reactions caused by the loss of anions. To overcome this limitation, a lithium (Li) transition metal (M) oxide particle is described having a Li concentration gradient. In one example, the particle includes a Li-rich core region that provides capacity and energy density due anionic and cationic contributions and a Li-poor surface region surrounding the core region to inhibit anionic activity and thus substantially reduce the loss of anions. A gradient region disposed between the core and surface regions has a Li concentration profile that varies from a first Li concentration in the core region to a second Li concentration in the surface region. A high-temperature leaching method may be used to leach LiO from a Li-rich Li1+xM1?XO2 particle, thus forming a coherent Li gradient with a stabilized layered structure.
