Effect of platelet-activating factor on the growth of human erythroid and myeloid CD34+ progenitors by F. Dupuis, N. Gachard, A. Allegraud, C. Dulery, V. Praloran, Y. Denizot

“…Treatment of marrow CD34+ cells with the non-metabolizable PAF agonist C-PAF (1 nM to 100 nM) immediately before semi-solid culture significantly (p<0.01) decreased the number of BFU-E but not of CFU-GM colonies. Treatment of marrow or blood CD34+ cells with C-PAF (10-100 nM) for 3 days in liquid medium before semi-solid culture significantly (p<0.01) decreased the number of BFUE and CFU-GM colonies. …”

Spectrum allocation algorithm of elastic optical networks in power distribution system by Biyou ZHAO, Shanhui ZHANG, Jinshuai WANG

“…In order to effectively improve the resource utilization of information transmission network in reality,the spectrum allocation problem in flexible optical network in smart grid environment was analyzed,and a spectrum allocation method was proposed.Combining the advantages of genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm,the genetic algorithm was used to generate the initial solution.Finally,the optimal solution of the spectrum allocation problem was obtained by the characteristics of positive feedback of ant colony algorithm and efficient convergence.The performance of the optimization algorithm mentioned was verified by software simulation.The proposed algorithm can optimize the use of idle spectrum resources to meet the needs of mass data transmission in distribution network,and improve the reliability of distribution network communication system,which is of great significance to the safe and reliable operation of smart grid.…”

The Poetics of Second Liberation by Vincent R. Ogoti

Bionic UAV architecture for fast swarm fusion by Ziming ZENG, Chao DONG, Xiaojun ZHU, Ziye JIA

“…., their individuals behave similarly to a single drone, while ant colonies, wolves, and pigeon colonies can rely on the rules between individuals to achieve more complex behaviors through group coordination and organization.Different creatures exhibit different abilities and can undertake different tasks on the battlefield.Considering the topology and communication mechanism between creatures, a fusion architecture of bionic drone swarms was proposed which aims to enable different types of bionic UAV swarms to be freely integrated and improve the coordination level of the whole UAV swarm architecture.…”
