Secure communication approach for Internet of things based on C-RAN fronthaul compression by Yong WANG, Mu ZHOU, Zengshan TIAN, Jinjun WU

“…A resource allocation algorithm was proposed for downlink C-RAN secure communication system.This algorithm jointly optimized the parameters of base station (BS) mode,quantized noise and beamforming under the constraints of SINR requirements of Internet of things information receiver,eavesdropped receiver and fronthaul link capacity.Such a design was a non-convex optimization problem,and a step-by step optimization algorithm was proposed to decompose the original optimization problem efficiently.Semi-definite technique and function smoothing approach were adopted,and the local optimization solution of the original problem was obtained by the iterative different of convex method.Bi-section approach was further proposed to determine BS mode,and the transmitting power of the BSs were finally optimized.Simulation results indicate that the proposed joint optimization algorithm achieves better performance than group sparse optimization algorithm and baseline algorithm,and it has approximate optimal performance as the exhaustive search algorithm.…”

Deep Encoding of Etymological Information in TEI by Jack Bowers, Laurent Romary

“…The purpose is to integrate in one coherent framework both digital representations of legacy dictionaries and born-digital lexical databases that are constructed manually or semi-automatically. We provide examples from many different types of etymological phenomena from traditional lexicographic practice, as well as analytical approaches from functional and cognitive linguistics such as metaphor, metonymy, and grammaticalization, which in many lexicographical and formal linguistic circles have not often been treated as truly etymological in nature, and have thus been largely left out of etymological dictionaries. …”

Generation of mouse and rat xenogeneic ovaries in vitro for production of mouse oocyte by Si Won Jang, Ye Rim Kim, Jae Ho Han, Hoon Jang, Hyun Woo Choi

“…The system forming ovarian follicles is developed to investigate in vitro folliculogenesis in a confined environment to obtain functional oocytes. Several studies have reported the successful generation of fully functional oocytes using mouse-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and mouse female germline stem cells (fGSCs) as sources of stem cells for in vitro gametogenesis models. …”

The dynamic brain: from spiking neurons to neural masses and cortical fields. by Gustavo Deco, Viktor K Jirsa, Peter A Robinson, Michael Breakspear, Karl Friston

“…Macroscopic models can inform us about whole brain dynamics and interactions between large-scale neural systems such as cortical regions, the thalamus, and brain stem. Each level of description relates uniquely to neuroscience data, from single-unit recordings, through local field potentials to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalogram (EEG), and magnetoencephalogram (MEG). …”

Molecular Beacons: Powerful Tools for Imaging RNA in Living Cells by Ricardo Monroy-Contreras, Luis Vaca

“…Despite the fact that fixed cells offer the possibility to observe the spatial distribution of RNA, assays with capability to real-time monitoring RNA transport into living cells are needed to further understand the role of RNA dynamics in cellular functions. Molecular beacons (MBs) are stem-loop hairpin-structured oligonucleotides equipped with a fluorescence quencher at one end and a fluorescent dye (also called reporter or fluorophore) at the opposite end. …”

Neural differentiation modulates the vertebrate brain specific splicing program. by Alicia Madgwick, Philippe Fort, Peter S Hanson, Philippe Thibault, Marie-Claude Gaudreau, Georges Lutfalla, Tarik Möröy, Sherif Abou Elela, Bill Chaudhry, David J Elliott, Christopher M Morris, Julian P Venables

“…Alternative splicing patterns are known to vary between tissues but these patterns have been found to be predominantly peculiar to one species or another, implying only a limited function in fundamental neural biology. Here we used high-throughput RT-PCR to monitor the expression pattern of all the annotated simple alternative splicing events (ASEs) in the Reference Sequence Database, in different mouse tissues and identified 93 brain-specific events that shift from one isoform to another (switch-like) between brain and other tissues. …”

“…OPCs are generated during development, are widely distributed across both white and gray matter, and remain quiescent until appropriate stimuli, such as functional requests or injuries, arise. Under these conditions, endogenous OPCs, as well as new OPCs derived from the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells, migrate toward axons and differentiate into mature OLs capable of wrapping axons and forming the myelin sheaths. …”
