However, there is a greater degree of uncertainty and complexity in information transmission of remanu?facturing service system, which leads to a critical need for designing planning models to deal with this added uncer?tainty and complexity. In this paper, a three?dimensional(3D) model of remanufacturing service information network for information transmission is developed, which combines the physic coordinate and the transmitted properties of all the devices in the remanufacturing service system. In order to solve the basic ITPO in the 3D model, an improved 3D ant colony algorithm(Improved AC) was put forward. Moreover, to further improve the operation e ciency of the algorithm, an improved ant colony?genetic algorithm(AC?GA) that combines the improved AC and genetic algorithm was developed. In addition, by taking the transmission of remanufacturing service demand information of certain roller as example, the e ectiveness of AC?GA algorithm was analyzed and compared with that of improved AC, and the results demonstrated that AC?GA algorithm was superior to AC algorithm in aspects of information transmission delay, information transmission cost, and rate of information loss.展开更多

The success of such a new product launch relies on transmission of demand information along a supply chain, yet this new phenomenon has been little researched. This paper attempts to address such an issue by modeling vertical information transmission in a supply chain consisting of a retailer and a manufacturer. The retailer would like to introduce a new private label product and knows the demand of the product to be either high or low, while the manufacturer only knows the prior distribution of the demand type. This study attempts to find whether a wholesale-price contract or a two-part tariff contract can facilitate the manufacturer to identify the demand type. The results show that the two-part tariff contract is always effective in realizing information transmission as long as the retailer's reserve profit remains within a reasonable range.展开更多

In the absence of information transmission delay the bursting activity is desynchronized, giving rise to spatiotemporally disordered dynamics. This paper shows that the introduction of finite delays can lead to the synchro- nization of bursting and thus to the emergence of coherent propagating fronts of excitation in the space-time domain. Moreover, it shows that the type of synchronous bursting is uniquely determined by the delay length, with the transi- tions from one type to the other occurring in a step-like manner depending on the delay. Interestingly, as the delay is tuned close to the transition points, the synchronization deteriorates, which implies the coexistence of different bursting attractors. These phenomena can be observed by different but fixed coupling strengths, thus indicating a new role for information transmission delays in realistic neuronal networks.展开更多

There was a significant increase of the number of neurons expressing PPT mRNA in the ipsilateral T 8, T 9 and T 10 DRG of the animals given electric stimulation to intact spinal nerve branch 24 h after the electric stimulation. The same increase was found in the ipsilateral T 8 and T 10 DRG of the animals given electric stimulation to the distal part of spinal nerve branch. While no change was found in the DRG of the contralateral side of these animals. The present results showed that the antidromic electric stimulation strengthened the biosynthesis of PPT mRNA in adjacent DRG. These findings suggested that there was information transmission across segments between two sensory nerve endings and some bioactive substances such as SP might play important roles in the information transmission across segments of spinal cord.展开更多

文摘As a physical stimulation of the body surface,the process of transmitting acupuncture information from acupoints to target organs through meridians and collaterals is complex,and network regulation is the most basic mode of acupuncture.Exosomes are membrane vesicles formed by various types of cells and secreted to the extracellular matrix through a series of regulation.We speculate that exosomes and their carriers,as important carriers of communication among neurons,endocrine cells,and immune cells,may play an important role in the process of acupuncture information transmission.Exosome in the acupoint area is an important interactive form of transformation from physical information to chemical information.Circulating exosome is an important means of delivery for acupuncture to play an important role in the network regulation.The structure and information molecules of exosomes are the important material bases for acupuncture effect.Through experimental research,it was found that acupuncture can regulate the release of exosome and may have a certain relationship with acupuncture effect.Therefore,exosome may play an important role in the process of acupuncture information transmission,which is an important new way of acupuncture information transmission.

文摘With the buyer's market strengthening, retailers have begun to lead in product development by introducing their own private label products. The success of such a new product launch relies on transmission of demand information along a supply chain, yet this new phenomenon has been little researched. This paper attempts to address such an issue by modeling vertical information transmission in a supply chain consisting of a retailer and a manufacturer. The retailer would like to introduce a new private label product and knows the demand of the product to be either high or low, while the manufacturer only knows the prior distribution of the demand type. This study attempts to find whether a wholesale-price contract or a two-part tariff contract can facilitate the manufacturer to identify the demand type. The results show that the two-part tariff contract is always effective in realizing information transmission as long as the retailer's reserve profit remains within a reasonable range.
文摘A new selected mapping(SLM)scheme based on constellation rotation is proposed to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)signals.Its core idea is to generate abundant candidate signals by rotating different sub-signals of the original frequency signal with different angles.This new signal generation method can simplify the calculation process of candidate time signals into the linear addition of some intermediate signals,which are generated by the inverse fast Fourier transform(IFFT)operation of the original frequency signal.This feature can effectively reduce the computational complexity of candidate signal generation process.And compared to the traditional SLM scheme,the number of complex multiplication and complex addition of new scheme can separately be decreased by about 99.99% and 91.7% with some specific parameters.Moreover,with the help of the constellation detection mechanism at the receiver,there is no need to carry any side information at the transmitter.The simulation results show that,with the same channel transmission performance,the PAPR reduction performance of new scheme can approach or even exceed the upper bound of the traditional SLM scheme,which uses all the vectors in Hadamard matrix as the phase sequences.

文摘The ability to overcome the negative effects,induced by obstacles and turbulent atmosphere,is a core challenge of long-distance information transmission,and it is of great significance in free-space optical communication.The spatial-coherence structure,that characterizes partially coherent fields,provides a new degree of freedom for carrying information.However,due to the influence of the complex transmission environment,the spatial-coherence structure is severely damaged during the propagation path,which undoubtedly limits its ability to transmit information.Here,we realize the robust far-field orbital angular momentum(OAM)transmission and detection by modulating the spatial-coherence structure of a partially coherent vortex beam with the help of the cross-phase.The cross-phase enables the OAM information,quantified by the topological charge,hidden in the spatial-coherence structure can be stably transmitted to the far field and can resist the influence of obstructions and turbulence within the communication link.This is due to the self-reconstruction property of the spatial-coherence structure embedded with the cross-phase.We demonstrate experimentally that the topological charge information can be recognized well by measuring the spatial-coherence structure in the far field,exhibiting a set of distinct and separated dark rings even under amplitude and phase perturbations.Our findings open a door for robust optical signal transmission through the complex environment and may find application in optical communication through a turbulent atmosphere.

文摘Inhibitory coupled bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons are considered as constitutive units of the Macaque corti- cal network. In the absence of information transmission delay the bursting activity is desynchronized, giving rise to spatiotemporally disordered dynamics. This paper shows that the introduction of finite delays can lead to the synchro- nization of bursting and thus to the emergence of coherent propagating fronts of excitation in the space-time domain. Moreover, it shows that the type of synchronous bursting is uniquely determined by the delay length, with the transi- tions from one type to the other occurring in a step-like manner depending on the delay. Interestingly, as the delay is tuned close to the transition points, the synchronization deteriorates, which implies the coexistence of different bursting attractors. These phenomena can be observed by different but fixed coupling strengths, thus indicating a new role for information transmission delays in realistic neuronal networks.
文摘By in situ hybridization histochemistry, the changes of preprotachykinin (PPT) mRNA expression were examined in the neurons of adjacent thoracal dorsal root ganglion (DRG) after a strong electric stimulation to an intact dorsal cutaneous branch and the cut distal part of left T 9 thoracal spinal nerve of rat. There was a significant increase of the number of neurons expressing PPT mRNA in the ipsilateral T 8, T 9 and T 10 DRG of the animals given electric stimulation to intact spinal nerve branch 24 h after the electric stimulation. The same increase was found in the ipsilateral T 8 and T 10 DRG of the animals given electric stimulation to the distal part of spinal nerve branch. While no change was found in the DRG of the contralateral side of these animals. The present results showed that the antidromic electric stimulation strengthened the biosynthesis of PPT mRNA in adjacent DRG. These findings suggested that there was information transmission across segments between two sensory nerve endings and some bioactive substances such as SP might play important roles in the information transmission across segments of spinal cord.
