A Probing Model of Secret Key Generation Based on Channel Autocorrelation Function

Secret key generation(SKG)is a promising solution to the problem of wireless communications security.As the first step of SKG,channel probing affects it significantly.Although there have been some probing schemes,there is a lack of research on the optimization of the probing process.This study investigates how to optimize correlated parameters to maximize the SKG rate(SKGR)in the time-division duplex(TDD)mode.First,we build a probing model which includes the effects of transmitting power,the probing period,and the dimension of sample vectors.Based on the model,the analytical expression of the SKGR is given.Next,we formulate an optimization problem for maximizing the SKGR and give an algorithm to solve it.We conclude the SKGR monotonically increases as the transmitting power increases.Relevant mathematical proofs are given in this study.From the simulation results,increasing appropriately the probing period and the dimension of the sample vector could increase the SKGR dramatically compared to a yardstick,which indicates the importance of optimizing the parameters related to the channel probing phase.

Chloride channels in vascular function and disease

Vascular smooth muscle cells（VSMCs） are the major component of vascular wall which are often stretched and compressed by pounding intravascular pressure.These mechanical signals are usually transformed to electrical signals by the opening or closing of ion channels in VSNCs and endothelial cells.Intravascular pressure causes a graded membrane potential depolarization of the VSMCs and leads to vasoconstriction（i.e.,myogenic response）,independent of the vascular endothelium. Although the important role of cation channels including L-type Ca2+ channels,K+ channels,and TRP channels in the regulation of vascular tone has been well established the functional roles played by Cl- channels in the regulation of the membrane potential and vascular tone remain essentially obscure. Recent emerging evidence implicates very important roles of Cl- channels in vascular function ranging from the control of membrane potential equilibrium, vascular contraction and relaxation to the regulation of intracellular pH,cell volume homeostasis,cell proliferation,migration,and apoptosis.

Identification of Three Interactions to Determine the Conformation Change and to Maintain the Function of Kir2.1 Channel Protein

We find that a conserved mutation residue Glu to residue Asp （E303D）, which both have the same polar and charged properties, makes Kit2.1 protein lose its function. To understand the mechanism, we identify three interactions which control the conformation change and maintain the function of the Kit2.1 protein by combining homology modeling and molecular dynamics with targeted molecular dynamics. We find that the E303D mutation weakens these interactions and results in the loss of the related function. Our data indicate that not only the amino residues but also the interactions determine the function of proteins.

UWB System Based on the Modified Gegenbauer Function in MISO Channel

In this paper, we propose a new multi-user Rake receiver, based on the interference mutualization with a matrix representation for Multiple Input Single Output MISO channel. The proposed system used the Modified Gegenbauer functions in order to generate the signal and to ensure the multi users transmission system. The new proposed receiver allows, using the temporal and special diversity, to avoid the interferences between symbols and to improve the system performances in terms of Bit Error Rate BER and interferences between users with a low algorithm complexity. The proposed solution is based on the classical Rake receiver associated with the equalizer receiver. In order to adapt the Rake approach, in single detection case and in multi users Ultra Wide Band environment, we propose a multi-user Rake receiver using the matrix form. Our proposed system is evaluated in terms of channel effects and multi users’ interferences.

Heat and Mass Transfer on Non-Newtonian Peristaltic Flow in a Channel in Presence of Magnetic Field: Analytical and Numerical Analysis

A study has been arranged to investigate the flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a vertical asymmetrical channel using peristalsis. The porous medium allows the electrically conductive fluid to flow in the channel, while a uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the flow direction. The analysis takes into account the combined influence of heat and mass transfer, including the effects of Soret and Dufour. The flow’s non-Newtonian behavior is characterized using a Casson rheological model. The fluid flow equations are examined within a wave frame of reference that has a wave velocity. The analytic solution is examined using long wavelengths and a small Reynolds number assumption. The stream function, temperature, concentration and heat transfer coefficient expressions are derived. The bvp4c function from MATLAB has been used to numerically solve the transformed equations. The flow characteristics have been analyzed using graphs to demonstrate the impacts of different parameters.

Throughput Analysis of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function Considering Erroneous Channel and Capture Effects

This paper presents a performance study of the distributed coordination function （DCF） of 802.11 networks considering erroneous channel and capture effects under non-saturated traffic conditions employing a basic access method.The aggregate throughput of a practical wireless local area network （WLAN） strongly depends on the channel conditions.In a real radio environment,the received signal power at the access point from a station is subjected to deterministic path loss,shadowing,and fast multipath fading.The binary exponential backoff （BEB） mechanism of IEEE 802.11 DCF severely suffers from more channel idle time under high bit error rate （BER）.To alleviate the low performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF,a new mechanism is introduced,which greatly outperforms the existing methods under a high BER.A multidimensional Markov chain model is used to characterize the behavior of DCF in order to account both non-ideal channel conditions and capture effects.

Vortex Channel Modelling for the Radio Vortex System

In this paper, a free-space vortex channel model of the radio vortex system is proposed to describe the propagation characteristics of vortex signals over the vortex channel. The key idea is to combine the Laguerre-Gaussian(LG) modes in the optical field with the free-space propagation model in the radio field. The proposed free-space vortex channel model is derived from the electric field expression of the LG modes and the freespace channel transfer function of the freespace propagation model theoretically. Simulation results verify that the proposed model could reflect the vortex channel characteristics better than the currently used free-space propagation model.

Role of HCN channels in the nervous system:membrane excitability and various modulations

Hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated(HCN) channels,distributing in a variety of tissues,especially in excitable cells such as heart cells and many kinds of neurons,have an important role in the modulation of heart rate and neuronal excitability.Different from typical voltage-gated sodium channels and potassium channels,HCN channels were evoked inward currents when the cell was hyperpolarized.More and more recent studies have disclosed that HCN channels play important roles in the nervous system,which were linked with its special electrophysiological features as well as its regulatory effect on the cellular membrane excitability.HCN channels could be modulated by many factors including both extracellular molecules and intracellular signaling cascades,which made its functions complicated in the different condition.Based on its role,HCN channels are presumed to be a promising target for chronic pain and brain disorders.In this paper,we will focus on the advancement of roles of HCN channels in the neural system as well as its complex modulator factors.

Performance of M-QAM, M-DPSK and M-PSK with MRC diversity in a Nakagami-m fading channel

The nature of a wireless communication channel is very unpredictable. To design a good communication link, it is required to know the statistical model of the channel accurately. The average symbol error probability(ASER) was analyzed for different modulation schemes. A unified analytical framework was presented to obtain closed-form solutions for calculating the ASER of M-ary differential phase-shift keying(M-DPSK), coherent M-ary phase-shift keying(M-PSK), and quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) over single or multiple Nakagami-m fading channels. Moreover, the ASER was estimated and evaluated by using the maximal ratio-combining(MRC) diversity technique. Simulation results show that an error rate of the fading channel typically depends on Nakagami parameters(m), space diversity(N), and symbol rate(M). A comparison between M-PSK, M-DPSK, and M-QAM modulation schemes was shown, and the results prove that M-ary QAM(M-QAM) demonstrates better performance compared to M-DPSK and M-PSK under all fading and non-fading conditions.

Control of beam halo-chaos by sample function

The K-V beam through an axisymmetric uniform-focusing channel is studied using the particle-core model. The beam halo-chaos is found, and a sample function controller is proposed based on mechanism of halo formation and strategy of controlling halo-chaos. We perform multiparticle simulation to control the halo by using the sample function controller. The numerical results show that our control method is effective. We also find that the radial ion density changes when the ion beam is in the channel： not only can the halo-chaos and its regeneration be eliminated by using the sample function control method, but also the density uniformity can be found at the beam＇s centre as long as an appropriate control method is chosen.

潮沟曲流摆动对潮滩沉积物碳输出的影响——以江苏中部潮滩为例

潮滩是全球固碳能力最高的生态系统之一,是缓解全球变暖的有效蓝色碳汇。针对潮滩碳汇功能,现有研究多关注生物作用下的碳输入过程,关于地貌演变,特别是潮沟曲流摆动引起的沉积物碳输出过程研究较少,因此无法准确评估潮滩碳汇功能的动态变化。研究结合野外观测、遥感反演与室内实验,探究了潮沟曲流摆动对潮滩沉积物碳输出过程的影响,从曲流摆动速率与有机碳空间分布特征两方面开展分析。研究结果表明:潮沟曲流摆动速率的空间差异可达数个量级,由粉砂滩的10^(-3) m/s锐减至互花米草盐沼滩的10^(-6) m/s;粉砂淤泥滩潮沟摆动速率存在显著的季节性差异,冬季摆动速率约为夏季的两倍;潮滩土壤有机碳含量呈海向递减趋势:互花米草盐沼滩(4.62 g/kg)>粉砂淤泥滩(2.61 g/kg)>粉砂滩(1.51 g/kg);综合考虑曲流摆动速率与土壤有机碳含量,发现粉砂滩沉积物碳输出速率显著高于互花米草盐沼滩,可达49.4 g C m^(-2) a^(-1),与该区域的碳埋藏速率相当。研究证实了潮沟曲流摆动对潮滩沉积物碳输出过程的重要性,为提升潮滩碳汇功能预测水平提供了重要的理论依据与数据支撑。
