Research on data loss probability and its impact of CTCS-3 train ground communication based on GSM-R by Xia ZHANG, Lian-chuan MA, Yuan CAO, Yu-zhuo ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem that Euroradio's safe functional module (SFM) of CTCS-3 train control system can not apply protective measures for time-related transmission risks,communication model and failure recovery model for transmission of CTCS-3 train control system are built which based on deterministic and stochastic Petri nets (DSPN).Combining the two models and using TimeNET 4.0 to simulate the result of data loss probability,a conclusion can be concluded that even considering that only data loss will cause dangerous of train control system,the result still can not meet the requirement of SIL4 based on the relevant specification for the CTCS-3.…”

A SHH-FOXF1-BMP4 signaling axis regulating growth and differentiation of epithelial and mesenchymal tissues in ureter development. by Tobias Bohnenpoll, Anna B Wittern, Tamrat M Mamo, Tamrat M Mamo, Anna-Carina Weiss, Carsten Rudat, Marc-Jens Kleppa, Karin Schuster-Gossler, Irina Wojahn, Timo H-W Lüdtke, Mark-Oliver Trowe, Andreas Kispert

“…We further showed that expression of Bmp4 in the ureteric mesenchyme depends on HH signaling and Foxf1, and that exogenous BMP4 rescued cell proliferation and epithelial differentiation in ureters with abrogated HH signaling or FOXF1 function. We conclude that SHH uses a FOXF1-BMP4 module to coordinate the cellular programs for ureter elongation and differentiation, and suggest that deregulation of this signaling axis occurs in human congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT).…”
