Wang, Tingting Korean Mathematical Society 2016 대한수학회보 Vol.53 No.2

Let p be an odd prime and c be a fixed integer with (c, p) = 1. For each integer a with $1{\leq}a{\leq}p-1$, it is clear that there exists one and only one b with $0{\leq}b{\leq}p-1$ such that $ab{\equiv}c$ mod p. Let N(c, p) denote the number of all solutions of the congruence equation $ab{\equiv}c$ mod p for $1{\leq}a$, $b{{\leq}}p-1$ in which a and $\bar{b}$ are of opposite parity, where $\bar{b}$ is defined by the congruence equation $b{\bar{b}}{\equiv}1$ mod p. The main purpose of this paper is using the mean value theorem of Dirichlet L-functions and the properties of Gauss sums to study the computational problem of one kind mean value function related to $E(c,p)=N(c,p)-{\frac{1}{2}}{\phi}(p)$, and give its an exact computational formula.

Wang Tingting,Maimaitituersun Gulixiati,Shi Haonan,Chen Cheng,Ma Qi,Su Yinxia,Yao Hua,Zhu Jia 한국유전학회 2022 Genes & Genomics Vol.44 No.4

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) susceptibility varies among different populations and is affected by gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 gene, which has many SNP loci, is involved in T2DM pathogenesis. However, the relationship of IGF-1 gene polymorphism with T2DM in Uyghur population is less studied. Objective: To investigate the relationship between T2DM susceptibility and polymorphism of IGF-1 gene in Uyghur population of Xinjiang, China. Methods: This study enrolled 220 cases (122 males (55.46%) and 98 females (44.54%); mean age of 53.40 ± 10.94 years) of T2DM patients (T2DM group) and 229 (124 males (54.15%) and 105 females (45.85%); mean age of 51.64 ± 10.48 years) healthy controls (control group). Biochemical indexes were determined. IGF-1 gene polymorphism was analyzed by SNP genotyping. Results: The levels of TG, HDL, LDL, BUN, and Cr were statistically significant between the T2DM group and the control group. In terms of IGF-1 polymorphism, T2DM group had higher frequency of AA genotype (OR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.19-4.84) and allele A (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.17-2.06) of rs35767 loci, suggesting that rs35767 is related to the occurrence of T2DM. A total of 5 gene interaction models was obtained through analyzing the interaction of 5 SNP loci with the GMDR method. Among them, the two-factor model that included rs35767 locus and rs5742694 locus had statistical difference with a large cross-validation consistency (10/10). The combination of GG/CC, GA/AA, AA/AA, and AA/AC genotype was in high-risk group, whereas the combination of GG/AA, GG/AC, GA/AC and GA/CC genotype was in the low-risk group. The risk of T2DM in the high-risk group was 2.165 times than that of the low-risk group (OR = 2.165, 95% CI = 1.478-3.171). Conclusion: TG, HDL, LDL, BUN, and Cr are influencing factors of T2DM in Uyghur population. The rs35767 locus of IGF-1 gene may be associated with T2DM in Uyghur population. The high-risk group composing of rs35767 locus and rs5742694 locus has a higher risk of T2DM.

Model-based Visual Servoing for Automatic Docking System of Circular Symmetrical Target with Large Displacement

Tingting Wang,Yuming Zhang,Bo Liu 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2023 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.21 No.4

In this paper, a model-based visual servoing strategy with dual cameras is proposed for a circular symmetrical target with large displacement. The automatic docking system is composed of the fast-moving stage and the position-based visual servoing (PBVS) control stage, which enables a fast, accurate and stable docking task. A simplified stereo matching method is used in the fast-moving stage, and the CAD model-based tracking method with virtual visual servoing (VVS) method is applied in the PBVS control stage to estimate and update the current pose of the circular symmetrical docking target. Experiments of a robotic docking system validate the effectiveness, precision and flexibility of this strategy. The Root Mean Square errors of the docking results are less than 0.5 millimeters in translation and 0.1 degrees in rotation, and the average time for the whole docking task is no more than 1 minutes.

A Novel AC/DC Converter Based on Stacked Boost Circuit and Dual-Mode LLC Circuit

Tingting Yao,Yueshi Guan,Fang Li,Yijie Wang,Wei Wang,Dianguo Xu 전력전자학회 2019 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2019 No.5

In this paper, a AC/DC converter based on stacked Boost circuit and dual-mode LLC circuit is proposed. In the Power Factor Correction (PFC) part, two Boost circuits are stacked to reduce switch voltage stress, also sharing one inductor operating in Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM). In the DC/DC part, a dual-mode LLC circuit is adopted based on two stacked half-bridge structure. The input voltage of LLC resonant tank can double or halve by switching between two operating modes. Hence, the voltage gain of LLC converter can be modified without large operating frequency modulation range. The proposed AC/DC converter can be utilized in widely input voltage variation condition. A 50W prototype is proposed in the laboratory and the experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed converter.

Composting is widely used to transform waste into valuable agricultural organic fertilizer. Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria play an important role in the global nitrogen cycle, but their role in composting remains poorly understood. In the present study, the community structure, diversity, and abundance of anammox bacteria were analyzed using cloning and sequencing methods by targeting the 16S rRNA gene and the hydrazine oxidase gene (hzo) in samples isolated from compost produced from cow manure and rice straw. A total of 25 operational taxonomic units were classified based on 16S rRNA gene clone libraries, and 14 operational taxonomic units were classified based on hzo gene clone libraries. The phylogenetic tree analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and deduced HZO protein sequences from the corresponding encoding genes indicated that the majority of the obtained clones were related to the known anammox bacteria Candidatus “Brocadia,” Candidatus “Kuenenia,” and Candidatus “Scalindua.” The abundances of anammox bacteria were determined by quantitative PCR, and between 2.13 × 10⁵ and 1.15 × 10⁶ 16S rRNA gene copies per gram of compost were found. This study provides the first demonstration of the existence of anammox bacteria with limited diversity in cow manure composting.

Objective: To investigate the association between CT imaging features and survival outcomes in patients with primary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA). Materials and Methods: Preoperative CT image findings were consecutively evaluated in 317 patients with resected IMA from January 2011 to December 2015. The association between CT features and long-term survival were assessed by univariate analysis. The independent prognostic factors were identified by the multivariate Cox regression analyses. The survival comparison of IMA patients was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier method and propensity scores. Furthermore, the prognostic impact of CT features was assessed based on different imaging subtypes, and the results were adjusted using the Bonferroni method. Results: The median follow-up time was 52.8 months; the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rates of resected IMAs were 68.5% and 77.6%, respectively. The univariate analyses of all IMA patients demonstrated that 15 CT imaging features, in addition to the clinicopathologic characteristics, significantly correlated with the recurrence or death of IMA patients. The multivariable analysis revealed that five of them, including imaging subtype (p = 0.002), spiculation (p < 0.001), tumor density (p = 0.008), air bronchogram (p < 0.001), emphysema (p < 0.001), and location (p = 0.029) were independent prognostic factors. The subgroup analysis demonstrated that pneumonic-type IMA had a significantly worse prognosis than solitary-type IMA. Moreover, for solitary-type IMAs, the most independent CT imaging biomarkers were air bronchogram and emphysema with an adjusted p value less than 0.05; for pneumonic-type IMA, the tumors with mixed consolidation and ground-glass opacity were associated with a longer DFS (adjusted p = 0.012). Conclusion: CT imaging features characteristic of IMA may provide prognostic information and individual risk assessment in addition to the recognized clinical predictors.

Hybrid Atmospheric Compensation in Free-Space Optical Communication

Tingting Wang,Xiaohui Zhao 한국광학회 2016 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.20 No.1

Since the direct-gradient (DG) method uses the Shack-Hartmann wave front sensor (SH-WFS), basedon the phase-conjugation principle, for atmospheric compensation in free-space optical (FSO) communication,it cannot effectively correct high-order aberrations. While the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD)can compensate the distorted wave front, it requires more calculations, which is sometimes undesirablefor an FSO system. A hybrid compensation (HC) method is proposed by properly using the DG methodand SPGD algorithm to improve the performance of FSO communication. Simulations show that thismethod can well compensate wave-front aberrations and upgrade the coupling efficiency with fewcomputations, preferable correction results, and rapid convergence rate.
