In this paper, a new synchronization scheme is proposed in Direct Sequence (DS) UWB system using Perfect Punctured Binary Sequence Pairs (PPBSP) as the preamble. It can acquire both Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequence and frame synchronization at the same time. The properties and the combinatorial admis sibility conditions of PPBSP are presented. The simulation results show that PPBSP is good for synchronization by their good cross-correlation properties both under Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel and modified Saleh-Valenzuela channel.展开更多

Moisture changes have a great negative effect on both the musical quality of wooden musical instruments and limit the length of time they can be played without loss of musical quality. It is possible to stabilize both the wood and the vibrational properties by chemically modifying the wood. One technology that can do this is the reaction of wood with acetic anhydride. Acetylation of wood slightly increases density, and slightly （about 5%） reduces both sound velocity and sound absorption when compared to unreactedwood. Acetylation does not change the acoustic converting efficiency. Acetylation reduces the amount of moisture in the cell wall decreasing the effect of moisture on the viscose properties of wood. This allows a wooded musical instrument to be played longer without having to let it dry out. This gives an instrument made from acetylated wood a greater range of moisture conditions it can be played in without losing tone quality. Acetylation also greatly stabilizes the physical dimensions of the wood. The major effect of acetylation of wood, therefore, is to stabilize acoustic properties. The technology can be applied to almost any wood though more easily to permeable types so non-traditional wood species can be used. A violin, a piano soundboard, a guitar, a recorder, a bagpipe chanter, and trumpet and trombone mouthpieces have been made using acetylated wood with very positive results. Several more wooden instruments made from acetylated wood are presently being made for further testing and early market development.展开更多

Upon cell division, the proteins in the mother cell are inherited by the daughters. However, what factors and by how much they affect this epigenetic inheritance of protein abundance remains unclear. Using both computational and experimental approaches, we systematically investigated this problem. We derived an analytical expression for the dependence of protein inheritance on various factors and showed that it agreed with numerical simulations of protein production and experimental results. Our work provides a framework for quantitative studies of protein inheritance and for the potential application of protein memory manipulation.展开更多
