Enabling beam-scanning antenna technologies for terahertz wireless systems: A review by Dongze Zheng, Geng-Bo Wu, Zhi Hao Jiang, Wei Hong, Chi Hou Chan, Ke Wu

“…While producing a scannable highly-directive antenna beam proves to be indispensable in the period of microwaves, the significance of such functionality is more critical in the THz era, considering that THz waves have more intractable challenges such as the severity of free-space propagation losses, the susceptibility to atmospheric environments, and the unavailability of efficient signal sources. …”

Lipoprotein N-terminal modification in Bacillus: a new paradigm for extracellular acetylation and species-dependent Toll-like receptor 2 immunomodulation by Gloria Komazin, Rachel M. Wigmore, Aditi M. Ranade, Amena A. Rizk, John H. Gardiner, Timothy C. Meredith

“…While Ac-LP biosynthetic pathway genes appear to be universally conserved in all Bacillus spp., those associated with pathogenic lineages have often lost function. In B. anthracis strains, LhaT has been inactivated by insertion of poly-tyrosine runs of variable length that favors chemotype conversion to lyso-LP and evasion of TLR2 detection. …”

Spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of milk tea stores in Wuhan based on sDNA and OPGD models. by Wentao Yang, Xinrui Zhan, Dinghui Liu, Huade Zhu

“…We then examined the influencing factors by combining spatial design network analysis, optimal parameters-based geographical detection, and location-based service big data. Our results revealed the following: (1) The spatial distribution of stores was concentrated in areas with high closeness and betweenness centrality, forming a multi-core "northwest-southeast" distribution pattern with significant spatial positive correlation. (2) The stores' spatial pattern was influenced by the road network betweenness and the presence of office buildings, shopping malls, shopping centers, and tourism resources. …”
