Morpho-phylogenetic evidence reveals novel hyphomycetous fungi on medicinal plants in Southwestern China by Hong-Zhi Du, Ning-Guo Liu, Na Wu, Ratchadawan Cheewangkoon, Jian-Kui Liu

“…These taxa were characterised and identified based on morphological and culture characteristics, coupled with phylogenetic analyses of combined sequences of calmodulin (cmdA), the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA (ITS), nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU), RNA polymerase second-largest subunit (rpb2), the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), and β-tubulin (tub2). Twelve novel species are described, including Camposporium alangii, C. polygoni, Dendryphiella verrucosispora, Jalapriya cheirospora, Memnoniella cnidiicola, M. guttulatispora, M. reniformis, M. reynoutriae, M. verrucosispora, Sirastachys aspidistrae, Sir. ellipsoidispora, and Striatibotrys biguttulatispora. …”

Novel method to calculate average bit error probability of UWB non-coherent system by YANG Zhi-hua1, WANG Ye1, ZHANG Qin-yu1, WANG Yu-feng 2, LIU Ning-ning 3, ZHANG Nai-tong1

“…A novel method based on clustered point process was proposed to calculate average bit error probability（ABEP） of UWB non-coherent system on IEEE 802.15.3a channel.In particular,the expectation and variance of the sig-nal to noise ratio（SNR） in the detection window were derived in closed form.Moreover,lognormal and normal variants were employed and compared to approximate the SNR in receiver window with respects to several characteristics.The results show that lognormal approximation is more feasible than normal approximation.In term of performance with PPM and OOK modulations,the efficiency of lognormal approximation is respectively much better than that of normal approximation.…”
