Immunological Links to Nonspecific Effects of DTwP and BCG Vaccines on Infant Mortality by Mogens Helweg Claesson

“…A number of mainly observational studies suggest that many African females below the age of one year die each year from the nonspecific effects of vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus toxoids and killed (whole-cell) Bordetella pertussis (DTwP). In contrast, similar studies suggest that many African females and males may have their lives saved each year by the nonspecific immunological benefits of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination. …”

A mitochondria-to-nucleus regulation mediated by the nuclear-translocated mitochondrial lncRNAs. by Jia Li, Ruoling Bai, Yulian Zhou, Xu Song, Ling Li

“…Moreover, as an example of the functional consequence, we showed that the nuclear-translocated lncCyt b cooperates with the splicing factor hnRNPA2B1 to influence several aspects of cell metabolism including glycolysis, possibly through their regulatory effect on the post-transcriptional processing of related nuclear genes. …”

Design and implementation for partition dynamically vector quantization chip by YU Ning-mei, WANG Dong-fang, LIAO Yu-min, FU Yun-qiang

“…Partition dynamically vector quantization（PDVQ） chip was researched and produced to encode images.Before encoding,it first judged the correlation of the encoding image block,and then decided to choose the size of the image blocks.Test result shows that PDVQ chip can improve the compression rate to 27% in average by contrasting with the normal VQ,even to 64%.The size of the codebook in PDVQ chip was 256×16 byte,and all codevectors in the codebook were categorized by direction,in each category codebook codewords were sorted in the ascending order of their sum,this kind codebook architecture could reduce search range largely.The VLSI architecture of PDVQ chip was implemented based on Charter 0.35μm CMOS standard cell technology,its chip area was 2.08mm×2.08mm.Test result shows that,at 3.0V power supply,PDVQ chip can operate up to 100MHz.At this operation,its power dissipation is 295mW,and it can support real-time encoding application for 512×512 gray images at 30fame/s.…”

A joint optimization method of multi backhaul link selection and power allocation in 6G by Qingyang LI, Xueting LI, Xiaorong ZHU

“…Aiming at the problem of limited single backhaul link capability of base stations in hotspot areas of the 6G system, a joint optimization method was proposed for multi-backhaul link selection and power allocation in an elastic coverage system, so that the data packets can select the appropriate backhaul link and transmission power according to their service characteristics and link conditions.Firstly, the transmission delay of data packets on the small cell sub-queue was analyzed by using queuing theory.Then, the optimization objective was modeled with the maximum delay tolerance elasticity value.Finally, the optimization problem were solved by the Hungarian algorithm and the Lagrangian duality and gradient descent method.The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional algorithm, the algorithm proposed reduces the average delay of URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communication) service data packets and eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband) service data packets by 17% and 14% respectively, and effectively improves the network transmission rate.…”

Traumatic Peregrinations: Intergenerational Memory and Migration in Nina Bunjevac’s Fatherland by Anastasia Ulanowicz

“…This essay analyzes images of both movement and immobility in Nina Bunjevac’s Fatherland, a Canadian graphic memoir in which the author/illustrator traces her father’s involvement in a Serbian nationalist terrorist cell. Although, as scholars such as Mihaela Precup have convincingly argued, Bunjevac depicts her father as trapped by historical circumstances he cannot control—and her larger family as “frozen in disbelief, anger, and sadness” (220)—I maintain that such immobility is paradoxically the consequence of constant movement. …”
