Narrowband Signal Localization Based on Enhanced LAD Method

Ke Xin Jia,Zi Shu He 한국통신학회 2011 Journal of communications and networks Vol.13 No.1

In this paper, an enhanced localization algorithm based on double thresholds (LAD) is proposed for localizing narrowband signals in the frequency domain. A simplified LAD method is first studied to reduce the computational complexity of the original LAD method without performance loss. The upper and lower thresholds of the simplified LAD method are directly calculated by running the forward consecutive mean excision algorithm only once. By combining the simplified LAD method and binary morphological operators, the enhanced LAD method is then proposed and its performance is simply discussed. The simulation results verify the correctness of discussion and show that the enhanced LAD method is superior to the LAD with adjacent cluster combining method, especially at low signal-to-noise ratio.

Ke Xin Wu,Gerald Canaan Sohn,Ruoyu Deng,Hao Jia,Heuy Dong Kim,Xianghui Su 대한기계학회 2023 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.37 No.9

The dual-bell nozzle is a kind of altitude adaptive nozzle for improving the performance of space launchers as well as future reusable launch vehicles. Numerical investigations have been conducted on a planar dual-bell nozzle to illustrate the flow characteristics at sea level, “sneak” transition, and altitude modes, respectively. Findings from computational fluid dynamics have been contrasted with experimental data from the open literature. The normalized pressure distributions along the dual-bell nozzle wall for different turbulence models are compared to the pressure measurements taken during the experiment by fixing the nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) at 29.8. The NPR value gradually rises across a large range from 6 to 55 to explore the evolution of the flow characteristics. The pressure distributions along the nozzle wall and shock position have been investigated. The hysteretic behaviors occur in dual-bell nozzles close to the contour inflection. The wall pressure and hysteresis behaviors have been expounded in detail.

Purpose The aim of the present study was to compare the difference between double tract reconstruction and esophagogastrostomy.Materials and Methods Patients who underwent radical proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy or double tract reconstruction were included in this study.Results Sixty-four patients were included in this study and divided into two groups according to reconstruction method. The two groups were well balanced in perioperative safety and 3-year overall survival (OS). The rates of postoperative reflux esophagitis in the double tract reconstruction group and esophagogastrostomy group were 8.0% and 30.8%, respectively (p=0.032). Patients in the double tract reconstruction group had a better global health status (p < 0.001) and emotional functioning (p < 0.001), and complained less about nausea and vomiting (p < 0.001), pain (p=0.039), insomnia (p=0.003), and appetite loss (p < 0.001) based on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Regarding the EORTC QLQ-STO22 questionnaire, patients in the double tract reconstruction group complained less about dysphagia (p=0.030), pain (p=0.008), reflux (p < 0.001), eating (p < 0.001), anxiety (p < 0.001), dry mouth (p=0.007), and taste (p=0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that reconstruction method, postoperative complications, reflux esophagitis, and operation duration had a linear relationship with the global health status score.Conclusion Double tract reconstruction could better prevent reflux esophagitis and improve quality of life without scarifying perioperative safety or 3-year OS.

Members of the genus Bacillus are known to play an important role in promoting plant growth and protecting plants against phytopathogenic microorganisms. In this study, 21 isolates of Bacillus spp. were obtained from the root micro-ecosystem of Suaeda glauca. Analysis of the 16S rRNA genes indicated that the isolates belong to the species Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus velezensis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus aryabhattai and Brevibacterium frigoritolerans. One of the interesting findings of this study is that the four strains B1, B5, B16 and B21 are dominant in rhizosphere soil. Based on gyrA, gyrB, and rpoB gene analyses, B1, B5, and B21 were identified as B. amyloliquefaciens and B16 was identified as B. velezensis. Estimation of antifungal activity showed that the isolate B1 had a significant inhibitory effect on Fusarium verticillioides, B5 and B16 on Colletotrichum capsici (syd.) Butl, and B21 on Rhizoctonia cerealis van der Hoeven. The four strains grew well in medium with 1-10% NaCl, a pH value of 5-8, and promoted the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results indicate that these strains may be promising agents for the biocontrol and promotion of plant growth and further study of the relevant bacteria will provide a useful reference for the development of microbial resources.

D-Galactose Induces a Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency in Mouse Skeletal Muscle: Potential Benefits of Nutrient Combination in Ameliorating Muscle Impairment

Liao Chang,Xin Liu,Jing Liu,Hua Li,Yanshen Yang,Jia Liu,Zihao Guo,Ke Xiao,Chen Zhang,Jiankang Liu,Xi Zhao-Wilson,Jiangang Long 한국식품영양과학회 2014 Journal of medicinal food Vol.17 No.3

Accumulating research has shown that chronic D-galactose (D-gal) exposure induces symptoms similar to natural aging in animals. Therefore, rodents chronically exposed to D-gal are increasingly used as a model for aging and delay-of-aging pharmacological research. Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to play a vital role in aging and age-related diseases; however, whether mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in mice exposed to D-gal remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated cognitive dysfunction, locomotor activity, and mitochondrial dysfunction involved in D-gal exposure in mice. We found that D-gal exposure (125 mg/kg/day, 8 weeks) resulted in a serious impairment in grip strength in mice, whereas spatial memory and locomotor coordination remained intact. Interestingly, muscular mitochondrial complex I deficiency occurred in the skeletal muscle of mice exposed to D-gal. Mitochondrial ultrastructure abnormality was implicated as a contributing factor in D-gal-induced muscular impairment. Moreover, three combinations (A, B, and C) of nutrients applied in this study effectively reversed D-gal-induced muscular impairment. Nutrient formulas B and C were especially effective in reversing complex I dysfunction in both skeletal muscle and heart muscle. These findings suggest the following: (1) chronic exposure to D-gal first results in specific muscular impairment in mice, rather than causing general, premature aging; (2) poor skeletal muscle strength induced by D-gal might be due to the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by complex I deficiency; and (3) the nutrient complexes applied in the study attenuated the skeletal muscle impairment, most likely by improving mitochondrial function.

Isoindolin-1-ones from the stems of Nicotiana tabacum and their antiviral activities

Guang-Yu Yang,Jia-Meng Dai,Zhen-Jie Li,Jin Wang,Feng-Xian Yang,Xin Liu,Jing Li,Qian Gao,Xue-Mei Li,Yin-Ke Li,Wei-Guang Wang,Min Zhou,Qiu-Fen Hu 대한약학회 2022 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.45 No.8

In previous studies, several isoindolin-1-oneanalogs that exhibited signifi cant anti-tobacco mosaic virus(anti-TMV) activities were isolated from Nicotiana tabacum . Since gene-editing mutants provide a new sample for thediscovery of active metabolites, we focused on the stems ofYN-18–23 (a mutant N. tabacum for gene editing with thealkaloid metabolic pathway cultivated by Yunnan TobaccoCompany), which led to the isolation of four new ( 1–4 )and four known ( 5–8 ) isoindolin-1-ones. To the best of ourknowledge, nicindole C ( 3 ) is the fi rst subclass of isoindolin-1-one bearing a pentacyclic ketone, while nicindole D ( 4 )is the fi rst example of isoindolin-1-one bearing a methylpyridin-2-(1 H )-one moiety. Compounds 1–4 were testedfor their anti-TMV activities, and the results revealed thatcompounds 1 , 3 , and 4 exhibited high anti-TMV activities atconcentrations of 20 μM with inhibition rates of 48.6, 42.8,and 71.5%, respectively. These rates are higher than the inhibitionrate of the positive control (33.2%). The mechanisticstudy of compound 4 , which had the highest anti-TMV activityrevealed that increased potentiation of defense-related enzyme activities and downregulation of expression of theNtHsp70 protein may induce resistance in tobacco againstthe viral pathogen TMV. Molecular docking studies alsorevealed that the isoindolin-1-one substructure is fundamentalfor anti-TMV activity. The methyl-pyridin-2-(1 H )-onemoiety in compound 4 and the 2-oxopropyl groups in compounds1 and 3 at the N -2 position may increase inhibitoryactivities. This study of the structure–activity relationshipis helpful for fi nding new anti-TMV activity inhibitors. Tostudy whether the isoindolin-1-ones have broader antiviralactivities, compounds 1–4 were also tested for their antirotavirusactivities. Compound 4 exhibited high anti-rotavirusactivity with a therapeutic index (TI) value of 20.7. This TI value is close to that of the positive control (20.2).

Weighted FP-Tree Mining Algorithms for Conversion Time Data Flow

Xiao-jun Chen,Jia Ke,Qian-qian Zhang,Xin-ping Song,Xiao-ming Jiang 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Database Theory and Appli Vol.9 No.1

The data distribution in the data streams usually changes dynamically with time. Traditional mining algorithms based on transaction are difficult to establish the correlation between time characteristics and relationship features, thus making the results inaccurate. By analyzing the problems in the processing of time data stream, we put forward the concept of time gap degrees and design a mining algorithms based on weighted FP-Tree. We introduce the concept of FP-Tree node weights to transform the time data dynamically and excavate the data stream association rules. The experiments performed on the actual data set show that the algorithm can improve the recall and precision while consumes comparable computational time.

이 연구에서 제자리 멀리뛰기의 측정 범위에 대한 핵심 기술은 주로 두 가지의 단계를 거친다. 첫 번째 단계는 환경 초기화 단계로, 주로 제자리 멀리뛰기의 필드, 카메라 및 인체의 핵심 지점의 정량적 식별을 포함한다. 두 번째 단계는 범위 설정 단계로 카메라의 점프 프레임과 착지 프레임의 적정 세트를 추출하고 발가락과 발뒤꿈치 영역 또는 범위의 핵심 포인트를 식별하는 것으로 구성된다. 이 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해서 총 20회의 제자리 멀리 뛰기 동작을 측정하였으며 정확도를 평가한 결과 측정 오차는 0.58cm, 표준편차는 0.24로 나타났다. 따라서 이 연구는 제자리 멀리뛰기 동작의 결과에 대한 오차를 1㎝ 이내로 조절할 수 있다는 것이 입증되었으며, 이는 곧 높은 정확도를 지닌 도구로서 판단된다. 또한 이 연구는 일반적인 웹캠을 사용하기 때문에 다른 제자리 멀리뛰기 검사 방식에 비해 장비의 가격이 저렴하고, 유지비용 또한 부담을 덜어줌과 동시에 높은 지능을 가지고 있는 도구라는 장점이 있다. 따라서 이 연구 결과를 통해 널리 보급되는 것을 기대할 수 있다. The key technology of standing long jump ranging in this study are mainly manifested in two stages: the first stage is the environment initialization stage, which mainly includes the quantitative identification of standing long jump field, camera and human body key points; the second stage is the ranging stage, which consists of extracting the set of jump frame and landing frame and identifying the key points of toe and heel. After the evaluation of test accuracy, the measurement is conducted 20 times, the error is 0.58cm, and the standard deviation is 0.24. It is proved that this study can control the error of standing long jump test results within 1cm, which shows that the research results have high test accuracy. Because this study uses an ordinary webcam, compared with other standing long jump test methods, it has the advantages of higher intelligence, low price and low maintenance cost. The research results are easy to be widely popularized.
