On the basis of multi-resolution wavelet analysis, an adaptive radar emitter signal recognition method based on multi-scale wavelet entropy feature extraction and feature weighting was proposed. With the only priori knowledge of signal to noise ratio(SNR), the method of extracting multi-scale wavelet entropy features of wavelet coefficients from different received signals were combined with calculating uneven weight factor and stability weight factor of the extracted multi-dimensional characteristics. Radar emitter signals of different modulation types and different parameters modulated were recognized through feature weighting and feature fusion. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the presented algorithm has a high recognition rate. Additionally, when the SNR is greater than-4 d B, the correct recognition rate is higher than 93%. Hence, the proposed algorithm has great application value.展开更多

A main limitation of the models is the assumption of independence between positions. Signal enhancement is achieved by taking the total likelihood as the objective function for maximization to cluster sequences into groups with different patterns.

Methods: DWl and DEMRI scanning toward 13 patients with PETs being confirmed by surgical pathology before surgery on the basis of conventional MR scanning were carried out, and MR findings was analyzed retrospectively. Results: Of 13 patients with PETs there was 11 cases with single lesion, 2 with multiple, and had 15 lesions altogether, of which there were 3 lesions in pancreatic head, 1 in its neck, 2 in its body, 4 in its body and tail, 5 in its tail. MR findings: (1) T1WI signal was low or slightly lower (9/15), and equal ones (5/15); (2) T2WI showed high or slightly higher signal (10/15), and equal ones (5/15); (3) T1WI with fat suppression: the signal was low (11/15), mixed signal (2/15), and equal ones (2/15); (4) DWI: normal pancreatic tissue exhibited homogeneous intermediate signal, all 15 lesions were high or slightly higher signal, the measured ADC values of tissue of PETs was (1.124 ± 0.252) × 104 mm2/s, and the ADC value of normal pancreatic tissue (1.873 ± 0.157) × 10^3 mm2/s; (5) Enhanced (M3D/LAVA) scanning: among 13 patients with PETs there were 12 pancreatic lesions with significantly enhanced signals in the arterial phase in all 15, and significantly higher than normal pancreatic tissue, and two slight enhancement was slightly higher signal; and 1 no enhancement. Enhanced pattern: homogeneous enhancement were 6 lesions, and the heterogeneous 4, and the edge ring 5. Conclusion: MR and DWl combining with DEMRI help qualitative diagnosis of pancreatic endocrine tumors.展开更多

Multi-bits watermark is embedded in the chaotic mixed image blocks. Energy of the watermark is spread to all region of the blocks instead of some individual pixels, which entitles the watermark with imperceptibility and high robustness. A class of 1-D Markov chaotic maps is employed to perform image block mixing and watermark encryption ensures security of the system. To prove the validity of this proposed scheme, some objective comparisons with the popular spread spectrum scheme were also presented. The simulation results show that this scheme can survive processing such as high-ratio JPEG compression, Gaussian noise pollution and histogram equalization.展开更多

In the present study, DNA sequences of insulin receptor genes, IRa and IRb, were amplified and sequenced from 37 representative species of the Cyprinidae and from five outgroup species from non-cyprinid Cypriniformes. Based on coding sequences (CDS) of tyro- sine kinase regions of IRa and IRb, molecular evolution and phylogenetic relationships were analyzed to better understand the characteristics of IR gene divergence in the family Cyprinidae. 1Ra and IRb were clustered into one lineage in the gene tree of the IR gene family, reconstructed using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). IRa and IRb have evolved into distinct genes after IR gene duplication in Cyprinidae. For each gene, molecular evolution analyses showed that there was no significant difference among different groups in the reconstructed maximum parsimony (MP) tree of Cyprinidae; IRa and 1Rb have been subjected to similar evolutionary pressure among different lineages. Although the amino acid sequences of IRa and IRb tyrosine kinase regions were highly conserved, our analyses showed that there were clear sequence variations between the tyrosine kinase regions of IRa and IRb proteins. This indicates that IRa and IRb proteins might play different roles in the insulin signaling pathway.展开更多

In this process, narration in drama has undergone a series of transformations in terms of significance, appeal and functionality. It has turned, from a suppressed intrusion into dramatic verisimilitude, to a subordinate attendant on plays of reason and passion and then to an epic element in a modernistic turn, and has contemporarily come onto central stage and assumed a particular theatricality of its own. Such an evolving framework corresponds to philosophical and aesthetical developments over time and integrates into an ever-renewing semiotics of drama. Recent developments in Narratology of the theatre provide an inspiring context for understanding this evolution, as they shed light on the generic nature, communi- cational facets and discursive power of dramatic narratives.展开更多
