A Novel UCAN Power Control Algorithm Based on the Stackelberg Game by Huaping Chen, Zhiyu Wang, Zhongyang He, Guoqiang Li

“…In this paper, A novel UnderWater Cognitive Acoustic Sensor Network(UCANs) power control algorithm based on the Stackelberg game is proposed to solve the problems of low system capacity, high inter-node interference, and poor communication quality due to unreasonable power allocation when Under Water Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) share spectrum resources. Firstly, the primary and secondary users are regarded as the leader and follower in the Stackelberg game model, and the utility functions of the primary and secondary users are derived separately. …”

Adaptive Mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Role of fbiC Mutations in Dormancy and Survival by Parissa Farnia, Mohsen Maleknia, Poopak Farnia, Jalaledin Ghanavi

“…While the fbiC gene contributes to dormancy, Mtb can achieve this state through multiple genetic and metabolic pathways, suggesting that it may still undergo dormancy even with functional impairments in fbiC. In this review, we utilized several scientific databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, and set of key search terms including “fbiC gene,” “F420 Biosynthesis,” “Mycobacterium tuberculosis,” “Dormancy,” and “Drug Resistance” to highlight the significance of the fbiC gene in regulating dormancy and explore how Mtb compensates for fbiC dysfunction through various metabolic adaptations.…”
