Mutual coupling of neurons in the circadian master clock: What we can learn from fruit flies by Charlotte Helfrich-Förster, Nils Reinhard

“…In mammals and cockroaches, each of the two master clocks consists of a core region that receives information from the eyes and a shell region from which most of the output projections originate, whereas in flies and several other insects, the master clocks are distributed in lateral and dorsal brain regions. In all cases, morning and evening clock neurons seem to exist, and the communication between them and other populations of clock neurons, as well as the connection across the two brain hemispheres, is a prerequisite for normal rhythmic function. …”

A Satellite Observation Data Transmission Scheduling Algorithm Oriented to Data Topics by Hao Chen, Baorong Zhai, Jiangjiang Wu, Chun Du, Jun Li

“…It supposes that the data obtained from each observation activity by satellites belong to certain observation data topics, and every observation data topic has completeness and timeliness requirements. Unless all of the observation data belonging to one topic has been transmitted to the ground before the expected time, the value of the observation data will be decayed sharply and only a part of the rewards (or even no reward) for the data transmission will be obtained. …”
