Multiuser chirp modulation for underwater acoustic channel based on VTRM

Yuan, Fei,Wei, Qian,Cheng, En The Society of Naval Architects of Korea 2017 International Journal of Naval Architecture and Oc Vol.9 No.3

In this paper, an ascheme is proposed for multiuser underwater acoustic communication by using the multi-chirp rate signals. It differs from the well known TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), by assigning each users with different chirp-rate carriers instead of the time, frequency or PN code. Multi-chirp rate signals can be separated from each other by FrFT (Fractional Fourier Transform), which can be regarded as the chirp-based decomposing, and superior to the match filter in the underwater acoustic channel. VTRM (Virtual Time Reverse Mirror) is applied into the system to alleviate the ISI caused by the multipatch and make the equalization more simple. Results of computer simulations and pool experiments prove that the proposed multiuser underwater acoustic communication based on the multi-chirp rate exhibit well performance. Outfield experments carrie out in Xiamen Port show that using about 10 kHz bandwidth, four users could communicate at the same time with 425 bps with low BER and can match the UAC application.

State‑of‑charge estimation for lithium‑ion battery based on PNGV model and particle filter algorithm

Yuanfei Geng,Hui Pang,Xiaofei Liu 전력전자학회 2022 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.22 No.7

The accurate state-of-charge (SOC) estimation for lithium-ion battery (LIB) cells and packs plays an important role in fulfilling efficient battery management. However, some estimation errors of LIB states and SOC are often encountered when using the conventional battery model and filter algorithms. Thus, this paper explores a SOC estimation method of LIB based on an improved partnership for a new generation of vehicle (PNGV) model and particle filter (PF) algorithm. First, a second-order PNGV model is constructed, and the effect of different SOC interval changes on battery model parameters is considered. Then, the improved PNGV model-based PF algorithm is employed to realize the real-time estimation of battery SOC. Finally, the proposed SOC estimation method is validated under constant current and dynamic urban dynamometer driving schedule (UDDS) conditions. Results show that the improved PNGV model of LIB integration with the PF algorithm can considerably enhance the accuracy of SOC estimation. Compared to the conventional PNGV model-based PF algorithm, the mean absolute error and root mean squared error of SOC estimation errors are, respectively, reduced by approximately 32.7% and 32.5% under the 0.5C rate discharge and UDDS conditions.

To investigate the impact of different diets on the growth and development of the silkworm Bombyx mori (L.; Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), we conducted an analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between larvae fed an artificial diet (referred to as the AD group) and those fed mulberry leaves (referred to as the ML group) during the first, second, and third instars using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology. Our results revealed that the DEGs primarily belonged to pathways associated with lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, the endocrine system, the nervous system, the digestive system, the immune system, and oxida tion–reduction processes. Notably, in the AD group, there was a decrease in transcript levels of genes related to amino acid metabolism synthases, while the transcript levels of antimicrobial peptide genes were up-regulated. Furthermore, genes associated with cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes exhibited down-regulation in the AD group. These observed changes likely contributed to the delayed growth and compromised robustness observed in the AD group. Overall, these findings provided valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the differ ences in growth, development, disease resistance, and adversity resistance between silkworms fed an artificial diet and those fed mulberry leaves.

Yunlong Yang,Chunhai Shi,Yuanfei Zhou,Jianguo Wu,Xiaoli Jin,Jianyao Shou 한국유전학회 2014 Genes & Genomics Vol.36 No.3

A dense panicle mutant (dp2) derived from theOryza sativa ssp. japonica cultivar Nipponbare through ethylmethane sulfonate mutagenesis was used in present study. Compared to the wild type, the panicle of dp2 mutantexhibited more branches and denser grains. Further more, thenumber of spikelets per panicle, number of primary branchesand secondary branches of dp2 mutant were significantlyincreased while the panicle length, and 1,000-grain weightwere significantly decreased. The results from the geneticanalysis indicated that the dense panicle phenotype wascontrolled by a single dominance nuclear gene. Polymorphicanalysis of SSR and InDel markers demonstrated that theDP2 gene was located at the long arm of chromosome 2,which was further mapped between SSR markers RM341and RM13356 in a physical region of 398 kb. Within thisregion, the RCN2 (LOC_Os02g32950) gene which wasannotated relating to the development of rice panicle wasfound. Compared to the wild type, the sequence of RCN2gene in the dp2 mutant showed that two SNPs replacementhad taken place in the promoter region (G–A) and the intronregion (A–T), respectively. The dp2 mutant could be a novelmutant of RCN2 gene and this novel mutant might be usefulfor further studies on this gene.

A study of predicting irradiation-induced transition temperature shift for RPV steels with XGBoost modeling

Xu, Chaoliang,Liu, Xiangbing,Wang, Hongke,Li, Yuanfei,Jia, Wenqing,Qian, Wangjie,Quan, Qiwei,Zhang, Huajian,Xue, Fei Korean Nuclear Society 2021 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.53 No.8

The prediction of irradiation-induced transition temperature shift for RPV steels is an important method for long term operation of nuclear power plant. Based on the irradiation embrittlement data, an irradiation-induced transition temperature shift prediction model is developed with machine learning method XGBoost. Then the residual, standard deviation and predicted value vs. measured value analysis are conducted to analyze the accuracy of this model. At last, Cu content threshold and saturation values analysis, temperature dependence, Ni/Cu dependence and flux effect are given to verify the reliability. Those results show that the prediction model developed with XGBoost has high accuracy for predicting the irradiation embrittlement trend of RPV steel. The prediction results are consistent with the current understanding of RPV embrittlement mechanism.

Irradiation-induced BCC-phase formation and magnetism in a 316 austenitic stainless steel

Xu, Chaoliang,Liu, Xiangbing,Xue, Fei,Li, Yuanfei,Qian, Wangjie,Jia, Wenqing Korean Nuclear Society 2020 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.52 No.3

Specimens of austenitic stainless steel were irradiated with 6 MeV Xe ions to two doses of 7 and 15 dpa at room temperature and 300 ℃ respectively. Then partial irradiated specimens were subsequently thermally annealed at 550 ℃. Irradiation-induced BCC-phase formation and magnetism were analyzed by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It has been shown that irradiation damage level, irradiation temperature and annealing temperature have significant effect on BCC-phase formation. This BCC-phase changes the magnetic behavior of austenitic stainless steel. The stress relief and compositional changes in matrix are the driving forces for BCC-phase formation in austenitic stainless steel during ion irradiation.

Yangkai Zhang,Yiyu Lu,Jiren Tang,Yuanfei Ling,Lei Wang,Qi Yao,Zhidan Zhu 대한기계학회 2022 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.36 No.6

Based on the theory of hydraulic self-reversing and pressurization, a variable cross-section squeeze pulse water jet rock breaking platform was built. When the nozzle diameter is 0.5 mm, the granite erosion and crushing experiments under different driving pressures are carried out, and the depth, volume and specific energy consumption of the erosion pit are analyzed. The results show that the device can achieve intermittent injection after pressurizing the input fluid at a rate of 5.8 times. Meanwhile, the pressurization process of fluid is divided into ascending section, stable section and descending section. Compared with the continuous water jet with the same peak output pressure, the depth of destroyed granite is increased by 129 %-288 %, the volume of broken granite is increased by 37 %-121 %, and the specific energy consumption per unit of crushing volume is reduced by 21 %-74 %. The device can use low-pressure fluid to effectively crush granite.

Li Yuqi,Sun Meizhou,Li Yuanfei,Cheng Yanfen,Zhu Weiyun 아세아·태평양축산학회 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.12

Objective: The purpose of this study was to reveal the metabolic shift in the fungus co-cultured with the methanogen (Methanobrevibacter thaueri). Methods: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to investigate the metabolites in anaerobic fungal (Pecoramyces sp. F1) cells and the supernatant. Results: A total of 104 and 102 metabolites were detected in the fungal cells and the supernatant, respectively. The partial least squares-discriminant analysis showed that the metabolite profiles in both the fungal cell and the supernatant were distinctly shifted when co-cultured with methanogen. Statistically, 16 and 30 metabolites were significantly (p<0.05) affected in the fungal cell and the supernatant, respectively by the co-cultured methanogen. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that co-culturing with methanogen reduced the production of lactate from pyruvate in the cytosol and increased metabolism in the hydrogenosomes of the anaerobic fungus. Citrate was accumulated in the cytosol of the fungus co-cultured with the methanogen. Conclusion: The co-culture of the anaerobic fungus and the methanogen is a good model for studying the microbial interaction between H2-producing and H2-utilizing microorganisms. However, metabolism in hydrogenosome needs to be further studied to gain better insight in the hydrogen transfer among microorganisms.

Exosomal CircPRRX1 Enhances Doxorubicin Resistance in Gastric Cancer by Regulating MiR-3064-5p/PTPN14 Signaling

Shumin Wang,Mei Ping,Bin Song,Yarong Guo,Yuanfei Li,Junmei Jia 연세대학교의과대학 2020 Yonsei medical journal Vol.61 No.9

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. Drug resistance is a major obstacle to GC therapy. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of exosomal circPRRX1 in doxorubicin resistance in GC. Materials and Methods: HGC-27 and AGS cells were exposed to different doses of doxorubicin to construct doxorubicin-resistantcell lines. Levels of circPRRX1, miR-3064-5p, and nonreceptor tyrosine phosphatase 14 (PTPN14) were detected by quantitativereal-time PCR or Western blot assay. Then, 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide, transwell,and Western blot assays were used to explore the function of circPRRX1 in GC cells. Interactions among circPRRX1, miR-3064-5p,and PTPN14 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The in vivo function of circPRRX1 was analyzed in a xenograft tumormodel. Results: CircPRRX1 was highly expressed in doxorubicin-resistant GC cell lines. Knockdown of circPRRX1 reversed doxorubicinresistance in doxorubicin-resistant GC cells. Additionally, extracellular circPRRX1 was carried by exosomes to spread doxorubicinresistance. CircPRRX1 silencing reduced doxorubicin resistance by targeting miR-3064-5p or regulating PTPN14. In GC patients,high levels of circPRRX1 in serum exosomes were associated with poor responses to doxorubicin treatment. Moreover, depletionof circPRRX1 reduced doxorubicin resistance in vivo. Conclusion: CircPRRX1 strengthened doxorubicin resistance by modulating miR-3064-5p/PTPN14 signaling and might be atherapeutic target for GC patients.

Strain-induced islands and nanostructures shape transition's chronology on InAs (100) surface

Gambaryan, Karen M.,Aroutiounian, Vladimir M.,Simonyan, Arpine K.,Ai, Yuanfei,Ashalley, Eric,Wang, Zhiming M. Techno-Press 2014 Advances in nano research Vol.2 No.4

The self-assembled strain-induced sub-micrometric islands and nanostructures are grown from In-As-Sb-P quaternary liquid phase on InAs (100) substrates in Stranski-Krastanow growth mode. Two samples are under consideration. The first sample consists of unencapsulated islands and lens-shape quantum dots (QDs) grown from expressly inhomogeneous liquid phase. The second sample is an n-InAs/p-InAsSbP heterostructure with QDs embedded in the p-n junction interface. The morphology, size and shape of the structures are investigated by high-resolution scanning electron (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopy. It is shown that islands, as they decrease in size, undergo shape transitions. Particularly, as the volume decreases, the following succession of shape transitions are detected: sub-micrometric truncated pyramid, {111} facetted pyramid, {111} and partially {105} facetted pyramid, completely unfacetted "pre-pyramid", hemisphere, lens-shaped QD, which then evolves again to nano-pyramid. A critical size of $5{\pm}2nm$ for the shape transformation of InAsSbP-based lens-shaped QD to nano-pyramid is experimentally measured and theoretically evaluated.
