Optimal Pattern Synthesis of Linear Array and Broadband Design of Whip Antenna Using Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm by Hengfeng Wang, Chao Liu, Huaning Wu, Bin Li, Xu Xie

“…Antenna arrays with high directivity, low side-lobe level, and null control in desired direction and whip antenna with wider bandwidth both need to be optimized to meet different needs of communication systems. A new natural heuristic algorithm simulating social behavior of grasshoppers, grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), is applied to electromagnetic field as a new effective technology to solve the antenna optimization problem for the first time. …”

Involvement of PPARs in Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis in Human Colon Cancer Specimens and in Normal and Cancer Cell Lines by G. Martinasso, M. Oraldi, A. Trombetta, M. Maggiora, O. Bertetto, R. A. Canuto, G. Muzio

“…“In vitro” PPARγ and PPARα were evaluated in human tumor and normal cell lines, treated with natural or synthetic ligands. PPARγ was involved in inhibiting cell proliferation with a decrease in c-Myc protein, whereas PPARα was involved in inducing apoptosis with modulation of Bcl-2 and Bad proteins. …”

Simulation and Risk Assessment of Waterlogging Disasters in the Main Urban Area of Xi'an Based on GAST-SWMM Model by ZHANG Wenqing, HOU Jingming, WANG Hangang, WANG Chen, LU Pinpin, XU Hui

“…In order to effectively control urban waterlogging disasters,urban waterlogging process simulation based on a numerical model and urban waterlogging risk assessment based on multi-source fusion information have gradually become important non-engineering measures.Taking the central urban area of Xi'an City as the study area,this paper simulated the waterlogging process under rainfall conditions of 5 a, 10 a,30 a,50 a,and 100 a based on the GAST-SWMM model.Combined with the relevant hydraulic factors obtained from simulation,a multi-indicator assessment system was constructed by using natural factors and social factors as the framework for waterlogging risk assessment.The results indicate that the high-risk areas of waterlogging in the study area are mainly distributed on the urban central roads.Under various rainfall conditions,the difference in the proportion of low-risk areas between the multi-indicator comprehensive waterlogging risk assessment and a single waterlogging depth indicator ranges from -50% to -60%,while the difference in the proportion of medium-risk areas ranges from 45% to 60%.Therefore,it is of great significance to conduct urban waterlogging disaster risk assessment based on multi-source fusion information.…”
