Antibacterial and quorum sensing regulatory activities of some traditional Eastern-European medicinal plants by Tolmacheva Anna A., Rogozhin Eugene A., Deryabin Dmitry G.

“…The objective of this study was to screen extracts of twenty Eastern European medicinal plants, using wild-type and reporter Chromobacterium violaceum bioassays, for novel components that target bacterial cells and their quorum sensing (QS) communication systems. Three types of activity and their combinations were revealed: (i) direct antimicrobial growth-inhibitory activity, (ii) non-specific and specific pro-QS activities, (iii) anti-QS activity. …”

A software-defined multi-modal wireless sensor network for ocean monitoring by Hanjiang Luo, Xu Wang, Ziyang Xu, Chao Liu, Jeng-Shyang Pan

“…To cope with the problems and meet demand for high-speed data transmission, we propose a radio frequency–acoustic software-defined networking-based multi-modal wireless sensor network which leverages benefits of both radio frequency and acoustic communication systems for ocean monitoring. We first present the software-defined networking-based multi-modal network architecture, and then explore two examples of applications with this architecture: network deployment and coverage for intrusion detection with both grid-based and random deployment scenarios, and a novel underwater testbed design by incorporating radio frequency–acoustic multi-modal techniques to facilitate marine sensor network experiments. …”

Is It Possible to Observe Society in Its Totality? Niklas Luhmann as Perseus and Medusa as Society by A. Yu. Antonovskiy

“…It is substantiated that the paradoxes of self- applicability and self-reference, without receiving their resolution, are never- theless performatively realized both in social reality itself and in its theoretical representation, and ensure the function of the social system — reflection of the system and the possibility of comparing one’s own observation resources with the methods of observation of adjacent communication systems. Following logic of self-observation, social theory is supplemented by a self-referential theoretical complex (sub-discipline), called “Self-Descriptions” (the fifth book of N. …”
