Multiple access based on three-stage modulation in multi-band OFDM-UWB system by BAO Zhi-hua, ZHANG Shi-bing, ZHANG Guo-an, QIN Jin-jing

“…According to the characteristics of multi-band orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing ultra-wideband（OFDM-UWB） system,a multiple access based on three-stage modulation（TSM-MA） was proposed.It combined multi-carrier code division multiple access（MC-CDMA） with orthogonal frequency division multiple access（OFDMA） and frequency hopping multiple access（FHMA）,carried out the advantages of the three multiple access techniques.It reduced the multiple access interference and made full use of the available resource of the channel.The two-stage spread spectrum and two-stage frequency hopping were used to the TSM-MA for reducing the complexity of receiver.Simula-tion results showed that TSM-MA has obvious advantages in bit error rate（BER） performance over time frequency code multiple access（TF-MA） about 3 dB and lower complexity than that of TF-MA.…”

Evolution of sequence, structural and functional diversity of the ubiquitous DNA/RNA-binding Alba domain by Jaiganesh Jagadeesh, Shruthi Sridhar Vembar

“…In this study, we employed iterative searches in PSI-BLAST to identify 15,161 unique Alba domain-containing proteins from the NCBI non-redundant protein database. Sequence similarity network (SSN) analysis clustered them into 13 distinct subgroups, including the archaeal Alba and eukaryotic Rpp20/Pop7 and Rpp25/Pop6 groups, as well as novel fungal and Plasmodium-specific Albas. …”
