TX to RX Compact Leakage Cancellation Impedance Tuner for 60 GHz Monostatic Doppler Radar by Ahmad Mushtaq, Thomas Mausolf, Wolfgang Miesch, Nasir Uddin, Wolfgang Winkler, Dietmar Kissinger

“…Monostatic radar shares a single antenna between the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) and offers an advantage of the reduced sensor size. However, due to the limited isolation of the coupler, the TX signal leaking into the RX significantly degrades the performance of the monostatic doppler radar. …”

Genomic 8-oxoguanine modulates gene transcription independent of its repair by DNA glycosylases OGG1 and MUTYH by Tobias Obermann, Teri Sakshaug, Vishnu Vignesh Kanagaraj, Andreas Abentung, Mirta Mittelstedt Leal de Sousa, Lars Hagen, Antonio Sarno, Magnar Bjørås, Katja Scheffler

“…Regardless of DNA glycosylase activity, OG in promoter regions correlated with expression of genes related to metabolic processes and damage response pathways indicating that OG functions as a cellular stress sensor to regulate transcription. Our work provides novel insights into the mechanism underlying transcriptional regulation by OG and DNA glycosylases OGG1 and MUTYH and suggests that oxidative DNA damage accumulation and its repair utilize different pathways.…”
