Compressive sensing based data gathering algorithm over unreliable links in WSN by Ce ZHANG, Xia ZHANG, Ou LI, Guan-lin MEI, Zhe HAN, Da-long ZHANG, Guang-yi LIU

“…To solve the problem that the ubiquitous unreliable links in the WSN influence the performance of the compressive sensing (CS) based data gathering,first the relationship between the reconstruction SNR of CS-based data gathering algorithm and the bit-error-ratio (BER) were simulated quantitatively.Then classify two cases were classified,namely light-payload and heavy-payload,relying on the analysis of wireless link packet loss characteristics.The random packet loss model was conceived to describe the packet loss under light-payload scenario.Further the neighbor topology spatial correlation prediction-based CS data gathering (CS-NTSC) algorithm was proposed,which utilized the nodes spatial correlation to reduce the impact of error.Additionally,the node pseudo-failure model was conceived to describe the packet loss occurred in network congestion,and then the sparse schedule-aided CS data gathering (CS-SSDG) algorithm were conceived,for the purpose of changing the sparsity of measurement matrix and avoiding measurements amongst the nodes affected by unreliable links,thus weakening the impact of error/loss on data reconstruction.Simulation analysis indicates that the proposed algorithms are not only capable of improving the accuracy of the data reconstruction without extra energy,but also effectively reducing the impact affected by the unreliable links imposed on CS-based data gathering.…”

Photon conversion to axions and dark photons in magnetized plasmas: a finite-temperature field theory approach by Nirmalya Brahma, Katelin Schutz

“…This condition is rarely (if ever) met in astrophysical settings, for instance due to the ubiquitous presence of magnetic fields. In anisotropic plasmas, the equations of motion are not diagonal in the usual polarization basis of transverse and longitudinal modes, causing a mixing of these modes and breaking the degeneracy in the dispersion relation of the two transverse modes. …”

How do monomorphic bacteria evolve? The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the awkward population genetics of extreme clonality by Stritt, Christoph, Gagneux, Sebastien

“…Exchange of genetic material through sexual reproduction or horizontal gene transfer is ubiquitous in nature. Among the few outliers that rarely recombine and mainly evolve by de novo mutation are a group of deadly bacterial pathogens, including the causative agents of leprosy, plague, typhoid, and tuberculosis. …”

Replication-IDentifier links epigenetic and metabolic pathways to the replication stress response by Sophie C. van der Horst, Leonie Kollenstart, Amandine Batté, Sander Keizer, Kees Vreeken, Praveen Pandey, Andrei Chabes, Haico van Attikum

“…Mechanistically, we show that Lge1 affects replication initiation and/or fork stability by promoting Bre1-dependent H2B mono-ubiquitylation. Rox1 affects replication fork progression by regulating S-phase entry and checkpoint activation, hinging on cellular ceramide levels via transcriptional repression of SUR2. …”

Methylated H3K4, a transcription-associated histone modification, is involved in the DNA damage response pathway. by David Faucher, Raymund J Wellinger

“…Here we show that the mono ubiquitylation of histone H2B and the tri-methylation of histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4me3), both known for their involvement in transcription, are also important for a proper response of budding yeast cells to DNA damaging agents and the passage through S-phase. …”
