p38 MAPK regulates expression of immune response genes and contributes to longevity in C. elegans. by Emily R Troemel, Stephanie W Chu, Valerie Reinke, Siu Sylvia Lee, Frederick M Ausubel, Dennis H Kim

“…We propose that the PMK-1 pathway is a specific, indispensable immunity pathway that mediates expression of secreted immune response genes, while the DAF-2-DAF-16 pathway appears to regulate immunity as part of a more general stress response. The contribution of the PMK-1 pathway to the enhanced lifespan of daf-2 mutants suggests that innate immunity is an important determinant of longevity.…”

Distributed Integrated Sliding Mode-Based Nonlinear Vehicle Platoon Control with Quadratic Spacing Policy by Lei Zuo, Ye Zhang, Maode Yan, Wenrui Ma

“…The quadratic spacing policy (QSP) is applied into the platoon control, in which the desired intervehicle distance is a quadratic function in terms of the vehicle’s velocities. Comparing with the general constant time headway policy (CTHP), the QSP is more suitable to the human driving behaviors (HDB) and can improve the traffic capacity. …”

Analysis of a modified MIMO multi-bounced channel model for narrow street environment by Deng-hong TANG, Jie ZHOU, Gen-fu SHAO, Mei YUAN, Qian-ying FAN

“…To establish scattering models that match realistic street transmission scenarios for more efficient M2M mobile communication systems,existing models mainly focus on single-scattering and double-scattering,while for narrow urban street environment,single-scattering assumption is rather restrictive.To overcome this problem,a modified multi-bounced channel model based on EBSBM was provided,in which the concept of equivalent scattering point is assumed.The multi-bounced propagation paths are considered as an one-bounced ellipse scattering path and characteristics of the model were further analyzed.General formulations of several important parameters such as the probability density function (PDF) of the angle-of-departure(AOD),angle-of-arrival (AOA) and Doppler shift were derived,which were applied to the performance of multiple-input-multiple-output（MIMO）system employing a circular array antenna.Doppler frequency distribution was also taken into account.The results show good agreement with the previously models,which validates the rationality of proposed model.…”

Josephson effect in strongly disordered metallic wires by Mustafa E. Ismagambetov, Aleksey V. Lunkin, Pavel M. Ostrovsky

“…The conventional description of the Josephson effect in such systems, based on the quasiclassical Usadel equation, neglects electron interference and is only applicable when $L$ is shorter than the localization length $\xi$ in the wire. We develop a more general theory for the Josephson effect using the non-linear sigma model that fully accounts for electron interference, and hence localization. …”
