To solve the problem,an enhanced covering lemma for a Markov chain is first established. Then based on the lemma,a general formula for the rate-distortion function of the problem is derived,where the distortion is only assumed uniformly bounded and may be nonadditive. Finally,it is further pointed out that such methods can be used to establish more general results on multiterminal source coding problems.展开更多

The proposed method does not require partial derivatives with respect to each variational parameter or solving an eigenequation, so the present method overcomes the major difficulties of the variational method. RGAs also do not require coding and encoding procedures, so the computation time and complexity are reduced. The ground state energies of hydrogenic donors in GaAs-(Ga,Al)As quantum dots have been calculated for a range of the radius of the quantum dot radii of practical interest. They are compared with those obtained by the variational method. The results obtained demonstrate the proposed method is simple, accurate, and easy implement.展开更多

The novelty is that the method of visual weighting is not lifting the coefficients in wavelet domain, but is complemented by code stream organization. It remains all the features of Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation (EBCOT) such as resolution progressive, good robust for error bit spread and compatibility of lossless compression. Well performed than other methods, it keeps the shortest standard codestream and decompression time and owns the ability of VIsual Progressive (VIP) coding.展开更多

METHODS: The PCR-amplified ALR gene was recombined with pcDNA3 plasmid, and used to treat rats with acute hepatic injury. The rats with acute hepatic injury induced by intraperitoneal injection of 2 mL/kg 50% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) were randomly divided into saline control group and recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid treatment groups. Recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid DNA (50 or 200 μg/kg) was injected into the rats with acute hepatic injury intravenously, intraperitoneally, or intravenously and intraperitoneally in combination 4 h after CCl4 administration, respectively. The recombinant plasmid was injected once per 12 h into all treatment groups four times, and the rats were decapitated 12 h after the last injection. Hepatic histopathological alterations were observed after HE staining, the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in liver tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining, and the level of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was determined by biochemical method. The recombinant plasmid DNA (200 μg/kg) and saline were intraperitoneally injected into the rats with acute hepatic failure induced by intraperitoneal injection of 4 mL/kg 50% CCl4 after 4 h of CCl4 administration, respectively. Rats living over 96 h were considered as survivals.RESULTS: The sequence of ALR cDNA of recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid was accordant with the reported sequence of rat ALR cDNA. After the rats with acute hepatic injury were treated with recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid, the degree of liver histopathological injury markedly decreased. The pathologic liver tissues, in which hepatic degeneration and necrosis of a small amount of hepatocytes and a large amount of infiltrating inflammatory cells were observed, and they became basically normal in the most effective group after four times of injection of recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid. The indexes of PCNA significantly increased in the recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid treatment groups compared to model group. The level of serum AST and ALT remarkably reduced in recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid treatment groups compared to model group. The results showed that the effect of 200 μg/kg recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid in the rats with acute liver injury was stronger than that of 50μg/kg pcDNA3-ALR DNA.The effect of intravenous injection of recombinant pcDNA3ALR plasmid was better. After the rats with acute hepatic failure were treated with recombinant pcDNA3-ALR plasmid,the survival rate (40%) significantly increased in treatment groups compared to control group (15%, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The ALR gene may play an important role in relieving acute hepatic injury and hepatic failure by promoting hepatic cell proliferation and reducing level ofAST and ALT in CCl4-intoxicated rats.展开更多

Traditional compression method uses direct entropy coding for each subband. After studying the energy distribution in image subbands, we proposed a vector quantization (VQ) coding algorithm to image subband. In the algorithm, vector quantizers were adaptively designed for high-frequency bands in an image. In particular, the edges of the image were examined and fewer bits were assigned to high-energy regions. The experimental result showed that the algorithm had higher SNR and higher compression ratio than possible by traditional subband coding, JPEG and JPEG 2000.展开更多

After analyzing the algorithm of PIC(parallel interference cancellation) MUD, a novel MUD scheme, Soft-PIC (soft parallel interference cancellation) is proposed. Based on the reliability of each detected user signal in the former stage, this Soft-PIC detection scheme substitutes a soft decision of the variable for the hard decision in PIC scheme. Compared with the PIC scheme, it can reconstruct the interference signals more accurately and eliminate MAI(multiple access interference) in a more efficient way.PIC is one of the most practical schemes in numerous multiuser detection technologies. However, Soft-PIC as an improved PIC scheme deserves further study.展开更多

The novel uplink-friendly DVC, which offers low-complexity, low-power consuming, and low-cost video encoding, has aroused more and more research interests. In this paper a new method based on multiple view geometry is presented for spatial side information generation of uncalibrated video sensor network. Trifocal tensor encapsulates all the geometric relations among three views that are independent of scene structure; it can be computed from image correspondences alone without requiring knowledge of the motion or calibration. Simulation results show that trifocal tensor-based spatial side information improves the rate-distortion performance over motion compensation based interpolation side information by a maximum gap of around 2dB. Then fusion merges the different side information (temporal and spatial) in order to improve the quality of the final one. Simulation results show that the rate-distortion gains about 0.4 dB.展开更多

In addition, the second phase of the Nansha terminal in Guangzhou’s port and the first phase of the Da Chang Bay container terminal in Shenzhen opened last year. Under these circumstances, there is an increasing need to quantitatively measure the impact these infrastructure investments have on regional cargo flows. The analysis should include the effects of container terminal construction, berth deepening, and access road construction. The authors have been developing a model for international cargo simulation (MICS) which can simulate the movement of cargo. The volume of origin-destination (OD) container cargo in the East Asian region was used as an input, in order to evaluate the effects of international freight transportation policies. This paper focuses on the PRD area and, by incorporating a more detailed network, evaluates the impact of several infrastructure investment projects on freight movement.展开更多

DNA consists of two polynucleofide strands twisted around each other in a double helix. The first step in cellular division is to replicate DNA so that copies can be distributed to daughter cells. Additionally, DNA is involved in transcribing proteins that direct cell growth and activities. However, DNA is tightly packed into genes and chromosomes. In order for replication or transcription to take place, DNA must firstly unpack itself so that it can interact with enzymes. DNA packing can be visualized as two very long strands that have been intertwined millions of times, tied into knots, and subjected to successive coiling. However, replication and transcription are much easier to accomplish if the DNA is neatly arranged rather than tangled up in knots. Enzymes are essential to unpacking DNA. Enzymes act to slice through individual knots and reconnect strands in a more orderly way. Hypothesizing that Termination of DNA replication proteins gave rise to those of eukaryotes during evolution, we chose the DNA polymerase (which infects microalgae) as the basis of this analysis, as it represents a primitive recombination. We show that it has significant similarity with replicative DNA polymerases of eukaryotes and certain of their large DNA. Sequence alignment confirms this similarity and establishes the presence of highly conserved domains in the polymerase amino terminus. Subsequent reconstruction of a phylogenetic tree indicates that these algal DNA are near the root of the containing all recombination. DNA polymerase delta members but that this does not contain the polymerases of other DNA. We consider arguments for the polarity of this relationship and present the hypothesis that the replication genes of DNA. DNA can be visualized as a complicated knot that must be unknotted by enzymes in order for replication or transcription to occur. It is perhaps not surprising then that connections between mathematical knot theory and biology have been discovered. By thinking of DNA as a knot, we can use knot theory to estimate how hard DNA is to unknot. This can help us estimate properties of the enzymes that unknot DNA.展开更多

It is known that crosstalk has the most serious influence in multicore fiber transmission process. Before the experiment, the affecting factors of fiber crosstalk were analyzed through simulation, such as core space, bending radius, and fiber length. Combined with the simulation analysis, the design scheme of multicore fiber with low crosstalk was obtained. Before the fiber design, various factors of influence crosstalk such as the core- to-core distance, bending radius, fiber length and so on. Based on the simulation analysis, conclusion has made on the design scheme of multi-core optimal fiber with low crosstalk. The space division multiplexing and wavelength division multiplexing technology, was adopted to conduct seven-core optical fiber transmission of 58.7kin.The crosstalk of adjacent core was suppressed to as low as 45dB / km, the attenuation of inner core was 0.24dB/ km, the outer cores' 0.32dB/km. Different bit error rate (BER) performances were also studied under different conditions, through reasonably designing the system to reduce the error rate, improve the performance of the system, and realize long distance and large capacity transmission with fiber.展开更多

A barcode must ideally contain enough variation to distinguish every individual species and be easily obtained. Fungi of Nectriaceae are economically important and show high species diversity. To establish a standard DNA barcode for this group of fungi, the genomes of Neurospora crassa and 30 other filamentous fungi were compared. The expect value was treated as a criterion to recognize homologous sequences. Four candidate markers, Hsp90, AAC, CDC48, and EF3, were tested for their feasibility as barcodes in the identification of 34 well-established species belonging to 13 genera of Nectriaceae. Two hundred and fifteen sequences were analyzed. Intraand inter-specific variations and the success rate of PCR amplification and sequencing were considered as important criteria for estimation of the candidate markers. Ultimately, the partial EF3 gene met the requirements for a good DNA barcode: No overlap was found between the intra-and inter-specific pairwise distances. The smallest inter-specific distance of EF3 gene was 3.19%, while the largest intra-specific distance was 1.79%. In addition, there was a high success rate in PCR and sequencing for this gene (96.3%). CDC48 showed sufficiently high sequence variation among species, but the PCR and sequencing success rate was 84% using a single pair of primers. Although the Hsp90 and AAC genes had higher PCR and sequencing success rates (96.3% and 97.5%, respectively), overlapping occurred between the intraand inter-specific variations, which could lead to misidentification. Therefore, we propose the EF3 gene as a possible DNA barcode for the nectriaceous fungi.展开更多

However, mechanisms underlying the organization and dynamics of the nucleus remain unclear. Long noncoding RNAs(lnc RNAs), i.e., transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with little or no protein-coding capacity, are increasingly recognized as important regulators in diverse biological processes. Recent studies have shown that some lnc RNAs are involved in various aspects of genome organization, including the facilitation of chromosomal interactions and establishment of nuclear bodies, suggesting that lnc RNAs act as general organizers of the nuclear architecture. Here, we discuss recent advances in this emerging and intriguing field.展开更多

文摘This essay designed a kind of new seven-core fiber with lower crosstalk and loss, and made space division multiplexing transmission experiment based on this seven-core fiber. It is known that crosstalk has the most serious influence in multicore fiber transmission process. Before the experiment, the affecting factors of fiber crosstalk were analyzed through simulation, such as core space, bending radius, and fiber length. Combined with the simulation analysis, the design scheme of multicore fiber with low crosstalk was obtained. Before the fiber design, various factors of influence crosstalk such as the core- to-core distance, bending radius, fiber length and so on. Based on the simulation analysis, conclusion has made on the design scheme of multi-core optimal fiber with low crosstalk. The space division multiplexing and wavelength division multiplexing technology, was adopted to conduct seven-core optical fiber transmission of 58.7kin.The crosstalk of adjacent core was suppressed to as low as 45dB / km, the attenuation of inner core was 0.24dB/ km, the outer cores' 0.32dB/km. Different bit error rate (BER) performances were also studied under different conditions, through reasonably designing the system to reduce the error rate, improve the performance of the system, and realize long distance and large capacity transmission with fiber.

文摘To determine a suitable DNA barcode for the genus Neonectria,the internal transcribed spacer rDNA,β-tubulin,EF-1α,and RPB2 genes were selected as candidate markers.A total of 205 sequences from 19 species of the genus were analyzed.Intra-and inter-specific divergences and the ease of nucleotide sequence acquisition were treated as criteria to evaluate the feasibility of a DNA barcode.Our results indicated that any single gene among the candidate markers failed to serve as a successful barcode,while the combination of the partial EF-1α and RPB2 genes recognized all species tested.We tentatively propose the combined partial EF-1α and RPB2 genes as a DNA barcode for the genus.During this study,two cryptic species were discovered,based on the combined data of morphology and DNA barcode information.We described and named these two new species N.ditissimopsis and N.microconidia.

文摘A DNA barcode is a short segment of sequence that is able to distinguish species. A barcode must ideally contain enough variation to distinguish every individual species and be easily obtained. Fungi of Nectriaceae are economically important and show high species diversity. To establish a standard DNA barcode for this group of fungi, the genomes of Neurospora crassa and 30 other filamentous fungi were compared. The expect value was treated as a criterion to recognize homologous sequences. Four candidate markers, Hsp90, AAC, CDC48, and EF3, were tested for their feasibility as barcodes in the identification of 34 well-established species belonging to 13 genera of Nectriaceae. Two hundred and fifteen sequences were analyzed. Intraand inter-specific variations and the success rate of PCR amplification and sequencing were considered as important criteria for estimation of the candidate markers. Ultimately, the partial EF3 gene met the requirements for a good DNA barcode: No overlap was found between the intra-and inter-specific pairwise distances. The smallest inter-specific distance of EF3 gene was 3.19%, while the largest intra-specific distance was 1.79%. In addition, there was a high success rate in PCR and sequencing for this gene (96.3%). CDC48 showed sufficiently high sequence variation among species, but the PCR and sequencing success rate was 84% using a single pair of primers. Although the Hsp90 and AAC genes had higher PCR and sequencing success rates (96.3% and 97.5%, respectively), overlapping occurred between the intraand inter-specific variations, which could lead to misidentification. Therefore, we propose the EF3 gene as a possible DNA barcode for the nectriaceous fungi.

文摘In the eukaryotic cell nucleus, chromatin and its associated macromolecules must be organized into a higher-ordered conformation to function normally. However, mechanisms underlying the organization and dynamics of the nucleus remain unclear. Long noncoding RNAs(lnc RNAs), i.e., transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with little or no protein-coding capacity, are increasingly recognized as important regulators in diverse biological processes. Recent studies have shown that some lnc RNAs are involved in various aspects of genome organization, including the facilitation of chromosomal interactions and establishment of nuclear bodies, suggesting that lnc RNAs act as general organizers of the nuclear architecture. Here, we discuss recent advances in this emerging and intriguing field.
