High-Voltage CVT Fault Diagnosis Based on Effective Data Recognition and Multi-dimensional Information Fusion by Huishan ZHANG

“…In view of the poor identification of the effective data in online monitoring of high-voltage capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), this paper proposes a method for effective data identification based on the analysis of data correlation coefficients, with utilization of the data characteristics that multiple online monitoring data sources exhibit linear correlation. To address the prevalent problem in current high-voltage CVT fault diagnosis, such as limited information sources, poor accuracy, and significant interference in partial discharge devices leading to compromised fault signal detection and accuracy, a fault diagnosis method based on multi-dimensional information fusion is proposed. …”

Lipoprotein N-terminal modification in Bacillus: a new paradigm for extracellular acetylation and species-dependent Toll-like receptor 2 immunomodulation by Gloria Komazin, Rachel M. Wigmore, Aditi M. Ranade, Amena A. Rizk, John H. Gardiner, Timothy C. Meredith

“…While Ac-LP biosynthetic pathway genes appear to be universally conserved in all Bacillus spp., those associated with pathogenic lineages have often lost function. In B. anthracis strains, LhaT has been inactivated by insertion of poly-tyrosine runs of variable length that favors chemotype conversion to lyso-LP and evasion of TLR2 detection. …”
