Turbo Product Codes Decoding Algorithm with Weighted HIHO for Energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Network

Jianbin Yao,Jianhua Liu,Yang Yang 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Future Generation Communi Vol.9 No.5

Complexity and energy-efficiency are viewed as two main factors of design error correct coding for the wireless sensor networks. First of all, this paper presents a Weighted Hard-Input Hard-Output (WHIHO) iterative decoding algorithm with the low complexity when the required bit error rate (BER) is satisfied for wireless sensor nodes. A reliability matrix from four different aspects of the decoding process, properly weighs and combines their respective reliability measures, and then employs the combined measure to make a judgment with regard to whether each received bit is correct or not. Next, the energy efficiencies of turbo product codes using HIHO and WHIHO decoding algorithm are analyzed. Simulation results in a BER curve indicating that the WHIHO decoding algorithm can achieve a better tradeoff between reliability and complexity, which compared with conventional HIHO and soft-input and soft-output (SISO) decoding algorithms. The simplicity and effectiveness of WHIHO decoding algorithm makes it a promising candidate for the application for wireless sensor network.

In this study, the combination of dispersive solid phase extraction (DSPE) with dispersive liquid–liquidmicroextraction (DLLME) was proposed as a novel sequential speciation method for Cr determination bygraphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. In thefirst step, the selective extraction of Cr(III) byDSPE was achieved using graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles as the adsorbent. The difficulty of separationand collection of GO in analytical performance was solved by the introduction of the syringe nanofilter. Then Cr(VI) was enriched by DLLME using [Omim] [PF6] as the extraction solvent. The experimentalparameters affecting the performance of both preconcentration methods were investigated andoptimized. Under the optimal conditions including the initial pH value of 7, 150 mg GO, 2 min ultrasoundtime, 210 mL elution solvent (first step), secondary pH value of 4, 0.15% (m/v) Aliquat-336, 120 mL of[Omim] [PF6] and 3 min ultrasound time (second step), the linear range of 0.06–5 ng/mL (R > 0.997), thelimits of detection of 0.015 and 0.02 ng/mL were achieved for Cr(III) and Cr(VI), respectively. The relativestandard deviations (n = 5) of 0.6 ng/mL Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 3.2% and 4.6%, respectively. Finally, thisnewly developed method was applied for the speciation and determination of Cr species in differentwater samples and satisfactory results were obtained.

We realized the minimum cost and maximum flow result via classical iterative algorithm based on graph theory, adjacency matrix is well applied to express the relationship between transport nodes, a topological sorting transport map is adopted to verify these approaches.

Surface Modification by Self-Assembled Coating with Amphiphilic Comb-Shaped Block Copolymers: A Solution to the Trade-Off Among Solubility,Adsorption and Coating Stability

Ruiwei Guo,Yifan Liu,Yao Zhang,Anjie Dong,Jianhua Zhang 한국고분자학회 2013 Macromolecular Research Vol.21 No.10

Surface coating with amphiphilic block copolymers containing a long hydrophobic anchor block in polar solvent often suffered from the damaging impact of micelles, often leading to a significant decrease in adsorption amount and packing density. In this study, a series of amphiphilic comb-shape block copolymers, poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate]-b-poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (P(PEGMEA)-b-P(St-DMA)) were synthesized successfully by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with fluorescencelabelled RAFT agent. The chain structure and chemical composition of copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR,FTIR and GPC. The surface self-assembled coating through physical adsorption of P(PEGMEA)-b-P(St-DMA) in ethanol on the surface of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane was investigated by XPS, ATR-FTIR, SEM and water contact angle measurements. The antifouling properties of the modified membranes were evaluated using BSA as a model protein. It was found that the introduction of appropriate DMA (DMA/St in the range of about 0.1 to 0.2) into the hydrophobic segment can significantly increase the solubility of copolymers and alter their aggregation behaviors,alleviate the impact of micelles, increase adsorbed amount of copolymers, and thus can enhance the hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties of membranes. Moreover, the stability analysis indicated that P(PEGMEA)-b-P(St-DMA) with appropriate DMA in the hydrophobic anchor block can form a relatively stable coating on the surface of PAN membrane. Consequently, the adjustment of the structure and composition of anchor segment may be a potential solution to the trade-off among solubility, adsorption amount and coating stability when amphiphilic block copolymers were used to surface modification by self-assembled coatings.

Jun Li,You-Hang Zhou,De-Yao Zhong,Chuanxin Huang,Jian Huang,Jianhua Zhang 대한금속·재료학회 2018 ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LETTERS Vol.14 No.6

In this work, the high κ Zr x Al 1−x O y fi lms with a diff erent Zr concentration have been deposited by atomic layer deposition,and the eff ect of Zr concentrations on the structure, chemical composition, surface morphology and dielectric propertiesof Zr x Al 1−x O y fi lms is analyzed by Atomic force microscopy, X-ray diff raction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy andcapacitance-frequency measurement. The eff ect of Zr concentrations of Zr x Al 1-x O y gate insulator on the electrical propertyand stability under negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) or temperature stress (TS) of ZnSnO (ZTO) TFTs is fi rstlyinvestigated. Under NBIS and TS, the much better stability of ZTO TFTs with Zr x Al 1−x O y fi lm as a gate insulator is due tothe suppression of oxygen vacancy in ZTO channel layer and the decreased trap states originating from the Zr atom permeationat the ZTO/Zr x Al 1−x O y interface. It provides a new strategy to fabricate the low consumption and high stability ZTOTFTs for application.

Numerical analysis of thermal dynamics and mixing performance in the blade-type static mixers

Yanfang Yu,Yaxin Chen,Huibo Meng,Yunjuan Yao,Dongzhou Liu,Jianhua Wu 대한기계학회 2022 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.36 No.7

The turbulent thermal dynamics and mixing performance of kenics static mixer (KSM), lightnin static mixer (LSM) and Q-type static mixer (QSM) were numerically simulated with uniform heat flux within the range of Reynolds numbers (Re) between 6000 and 30000. The numerical predictions of Nusselt number (Nu) and friction coefficient (f) in KSM were well consistent with the experimental data. The dean vortices, thermal resistance, entropy generation and field synergy were fully analyzed to obtain the enhancement mechanism of heat transfer performance. The synergy performance between temperature gradient and flow field firstly decreased and then increased and are superior to that of KSM with increasing Re. With the same Re, the entropy generation rates of LSM are 0.93-0.94 times that of QSM. LSM is a better alternative consideration for convection mixing and heat transfer enhancement. Two new relationships between Nu and f under different dimensionless uniform heat flux are obtained.

Overexpression and characterization of a novel cold-adapted and salt-tolerant GH1 β-glucosidase from the marine bacterium Alteromonas sp. L82

Jingjing Sun,Wei Wang,Congyu Yao,Fangqun Dai,Xiangjie Zhu,Junzhong Liu,Jianhua Hao 한국미생물학회 2018 The journal of microbiology Vol.56 No.9

A novel gene (bgl) encoding a cold-adapted β-glucosidase was cloned from the marine bacterium Alteromonas sp. L82. Based on sequence analysis and its putative catalytic conserved region, Bgl belonged to the glycoside hydrolase family 1. Bgl was overexpressed in E. coli and purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography. The purified recombinant β- glucosidase showed maximum activity at temperatures between 25°C to 45°C and over the pH range 6 to 8. The enzyme lost activity quickly after incubation at 40°C. Therefore, recombinant β-glucosidase appears to be a cold-adapted enzyme. The addition of reducing agent doubled its activity and 2 M NaCl did not influence its activity. Recombinant β-glucosidase was also tolerant of 700 mM glucose and some organic solvents. Bgl had a Km of 0.55 mM, a Vmax of 83.6 U/mg, a kcat of 74.3 s-1 and kcat/Km of 135.1 at 40°C, pH 7 with 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate. These properties indicate Bgl may be an interesting candidate for biotechnological and industrial applications.

Sun, Zhibin,Fan, Jiadong,Li, Haoyuan,Liu, Huajie,Nam, Daewoong,Kim, Chan,Kim, Yoonhee,Han, Yubo,Zhang, Jianhua,Yao, Shengkun,Park, Jaehyun,Kim, Sunam,Tono, Kensuke,Yabashi, Makina,Ishikawa, Tetsuya,So American Chemical Society 2018 ACS NANO Vol.12 No.8

<P>It has been proposed that the radiation damage to biological particles and soft condensed matter can be overcome by ultrafast and ultraintense X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) with short pulse durations. The successful demonstration of the “diffraction-before-destruction” concept has made single-shot diffraction imaging a promising tool to achieve high resolutions under the native states of samples. However, the resolution is still limited because of the low signal-to-noise ratio, especially for biological specimens such as cells, viruses, and macromolecular particles. Here, we present a demonstration single-shot diffraction imaging experiment of DNA-based structures at SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron Laser (SACLA), Japan. Through quantitative analysis of the reconstructed images, the scattering abilities of gold and DNA were demonstrated. Suggestions for extracting valid DNA signals from noisy diffraction patterns were also explained and outlined. To sketch out the necessary experimental conditions for the 3D imaging of DNA origami or DNA macromolecular particles, we carried out numerical simulations with practical detector noise and experimental geometry using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, USA. The simulated results demonstrate that it is possible to capture images of DNA-based structures at high resolutions with the technique development of current and next-generation X-ray FEL facilities.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

piRNA-1742 promotes renal cell carcinoma malignancy by regulating USP8 stability through binding to hnRNPU and thereby inhibiting MUC12 ubiquitination

Zhang Wentao,Zheng Zongtai,Wang Keyi,Mao Weipu,Li Xue,Wang Guangchun,Zhang Yuanyuan,Huang Jianhua,Zhang Ning,Wu Pengfei,Liu Ji,Zhang Haimin,Che Jianping,Peng Bo,Zheng Junhua,Li Wei,Yao Xudong 생화학분자생물학회 2023 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.55 No.-

Accumulating studies have confirmed that PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are considered epigenetic effectors in cancer. We performed piRNA microarray expression analysis on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumor tissues and paired normal tissues and performed a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments to explore piRNAs associated with RCC progression and investigate their functional mechanisms. We found that piR-1742 was highly expressed in RCC tumors and that patients with high piR-1742 expression had a poor prognosis. Inhibition of piR-1742 significantly reduced tumor growth in RCC xenograft and organoid models. Mechanistically, piRNA-1742 regulates the stability of USP8 mRNA by binding directly to hnRNPU, which acts as a deubiquitinating enzyme that inhibits the ubiquitination of MUC12 and promotes the development of malignant RCC. Subsequently, nanotherapeutic systems loaded with piRNA-1742 inhibitors were found to effectively inhibit the metastasis and growth of RCC in vivo. Therefore, this study highlights the functional importance of piRNA-related ubiquitination in RCC and demonstrates the development of a related nanotherapeutic system, possibly contributing to the development of therapeutic approaches for RCC.
