The Mla pathway promotes Vibrio cholerae re-expansion from stationary phase by Deborah R. Leitner, Franz G. Zingl, Alexander A. Morano, Hailong Zhang, Matthew K. Waldor

“…By monitoring the abundances of genomically barcoded libraries of WT and ∆mlaE strains, we observed that a few barcodes dominated the mutant culture at 96 h, suggesting that the similarity of the population sizes at this time was caused by expansion of a subpopulation containing a mutation that suppressed the defect of ∆mlaE. …”

Dynamic generalized principal component analysis with applications to fault subspace modeling by Xiaofeng FENG, Jianfeng XU, Chuan HE

“…In order to solve the problem of inaccurate modeling of fault subspace, traditional fault subspace modeling method did not consider the fact that fault data contain both normal and fault condition information, or did not consider the dynamic factors in the fault data, these flaws may lead to the case that the fault subspace cannot be extracted accurately, a dynamic generalized principal component analysis (DGPCA) method was proposed.By reorganizing the lagged input data, the dynamic characteristics between normal and fault data were extracted by the proposed DGPCA method, and then the fault subspaces could be modeled for further fault diagnosis.Finally, simulation results confirm the availability of the proposed method for fault subspace modeling and fault diagnosis.…”

Virtualized deployment of DPI based on Docker by Jie PAN, Zhao XUE

“…DPI is a kind of dedicated device for traffic identification and processing in the network of telecom operators,and a large number of DPI devices have been deployed in the network currently.However,the traditional DPI deployment brings the coexistence of multiple DPI systems,duplication of functions,and complicated maintenance and management,and it isn’t conducive to the rapid deployment of a large number of standardized DPI applications.With the development of NFV technology,virtualizing DPI deployment is a trend to solve this problem,and Docker is a container-level virtualization technology,DPI can be deployed based on it.Docker and the underlying data packet processing technology DPDK which was related to DPI deployment was described,and the Docker-based DPI virtualization deployment proposals was given.…”
