Microwave Dielectric Properties of CCTO/PVA Composites by M. P. F. Graça, K. D. A. Sabóia, F. Amaral, L. C. Costa

“…The complex permittivity was calculated by the small perturbation theory using two resonant cavities (2.7 GHz and 5.0 GHz). Several classical models (Maxwell Garnett, Lichtenecker, effective medium theory (EMT), and Yamada) were used to fit the real part of the complex permittivity of the composite as a function of the weight fraction of CCTO powder inserted in the PVA matrix. …”

Grand unification at the cosmological collider with chemical potential by Arushi Bodas, Edward Broadberry, Raman Sundrum

“…Our mechanism requires at least a pair of massive vector fields which are singlets of the standard model, a condition which is satisfied in the classic “trinification” scenario. Assuming that the gauge hierarchy problem is solved by supersymmetry, gauge coupling running points to unification partners at ~ 1015 GeV. …”

Sparsity induced convex nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm with manifold regularization by Feiyue QIU, Bowen CHEN, Tieming CHEN, Guodao ZHANG

“…To address problems that the effectiveness of feature learned from real noisy data by classical nonnegative matrix factorization method,a novel sparsity induced manifold regularized convex nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm (SGCNMF) was proposed.Based on manifold regularization,the L<sub>2,1</sub>norm was introduced to the basis matrix of low dimensional subspace as sparse constraint.The multiplicative update rules were given and the convergence of the algorithm was analyzed.Clustering experiment was designed to verify the effectiveness of learned features within various of noisy environments.The empirical study based on K-means clustering shows that the sparse constraint reduces the representation of noisy features and the new method is better than the 8 similar algorithms with stronger robustness to a variable extent.…”

Enhancement of systemic and lung-localized CD4⁺ T-cell immune responses by truncation of NS1 protein of a seasonal live influenza vaccine strain by Polina I. Prokopenko, Ekaterina A. Stepanova, Victoria A. Matyushenko, Alexandra Ya. Rak, Anna K. Chistyakova, Arina D. Kostromitina, Tatyana S. Kotomina, Igor V. Kudryavtsev, Artem A. Rubinstein, Alexey S. Komlev, Larisa G. Rudenko, Irina N. Isakova-Sivak

“…Truncation of NS1 protein of the LAIV strain significantly increased the levels of virus-specific CD4+ effector memory T cells in spleens and the levels of CD4+ tissue-resident memory T cells in lungs of mice after two-dose immunization, indicating a higher potential for protection against influenza infection of the LAIV NS126 vaccine strain compared to the classical variant of LAIV. Importantly, the LAIV NS126 strain also had a more pronounced attenuated phenotype in mice than its classical counterpart.…”

Low apolipoprotein A1 and high apolipoprotein B levels indicate specific lipid changes in treatment naïve early psoriatic arthritis by Kurt de Vlam, Rik Lories, M Van Mechelen, Sofia Pazmino, P Verschueren, Barbara Neerinckx, Lies Storms, Alla Ishchenko

“…Objectives To investigate serum lipid profile in early, treatment-naïve psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to determine whether changes in classical lipids or apolipoproteins are specific to PsA.Methods Total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), HDL-c, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) were compared in newly diagnosed untreated PsA patients (n=75) to sex- and age-matched controls (healthy control (HC)) (n=61) and early untreated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (n=50).Results Among classical lipid measurements, HDL-c levels were lower in PsA than in HC and RA (df 2, χ210, p=0.006, PsA vs HC p=0.013). …”

Les valeurs de la nature dans les iles subantarctiques by Anne Atlan, Véronique Van Tilbeurgh

“…Since these islands do not have permanent populations and are not exploited for their biological or mining resources, the values directly utilitarian are not present there, and the other types of values are expressed more widely than in more classical situations. By conducting sociological surveys of the residents of Kerguelen and on board the Marion Dufresne, we were able to draw up a typology of the values expressed and how they were assigned by the individuals. …”

Efficient routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on network coding by Zhi REN, Zhi-hu LIU, Yu-kun YAO, Qian-bin CHEN

“…To address the problem in opportunistic network that t existing epidemic-mechanism-based routing algorithms incur redundant communication overhead during the transmission of data packets,an efficient routing algorithm based on network coding,called NCBER (network-coding-based epidemic routing),was proposed.During the transmission of data packets,NCBER adopts an active XOR coding operation and multicast,and cancels the transmission of the Request control packets,so as to reduce the time used to transmit data packets,as well as the number of control packets.As a result,NCBER cuts down the network overhead and ortens the end-to-end delay of data packets.Theoretical analysis and extensive simulation results show that NCBER outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and its improvement called MRRMR (message redundancy removal of multi-copy routing) in terms of the network overhead and the end-to-end delay,while still keeping the delivery rate at 100%.…”
