OMP38 of Carbapenem‐Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii‐Mediated mtDNA Release Activates the cGAS‐STING Signaling to Induce Inflammatory Response by Yang Yang, Yuanyuan Zeng, Jianjie Zhu, Jianjun Li, Lei Gu, Lin Wei, Zeyi Liu, Jian‐an Huang

“…Intriguingly, CRAB utilized outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) to transport outer membrane protein 38 (OMP38) into mitochondria, triggering mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytosol through the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and activating the cGAS‐STING signaling. Finally, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is demonstrated to block the activation of the cGAS‐STING pathway and ameliorate CRAB‐induced excessive inflammatory response. …”

Passive indoor human daily behavior detection method based on channel state information by Xiaochao DANG, Yaning HUANG, Zhanjun HAO, Xiong SI

“…The daily behavior detection of indoor human based on CSI is developing rapidly in the field of WSN.At present,most of the research is still in the environment of 2.4 GHz,so the detection rate,robustness and overall performance still need to be improved.In order to solve this problem,a passive indoor human behavior detection method HDFi (Human Detection with Wi-Fi) based on CSI signal was proposed.The method was used to detect the indoor human daily behavior in a 5 GHz band environment,which was divided into three steps:data acquisition,data processing,feature extraction,online detection.Firstly,the experiment collected typical daily behavioral data in complex laboratory and relatively empty meeting room.Secondly,the amplitude and phase data with more obvious features were extracted and processed by low-pass filtering to obtain a set of stable and noise-free data,and then the fingerprint database was established effectively.Finally,in the real-time detection stage,the collected data features were classified by SVM algorithm to extract more stable eigenvalues,and a classification model of indoor human daily behavior detection was established,and then matched the data in the fingerprint database.The experimental results show that the proposed method has the characteristics of high efficiency,high precision and good robustness,and the method does not need any testing personnel to carry any electronic equipment,so it has high practicability.…”

Joint DOA-delay estimation approach based on atomic norm by XU Ming, TANG Qian

“…Considering the sparsity of the underwater acoustic signal in the spatial domain, the corresponding atoms were solved using atomic norm minimization. Finally, in order to solve the problem that the sub-matrix in the positive semi-definite matrix caused by arbitrary linear arrays was a non-Toeplitz matrix structure and could not be decomposed by Vandermonde, a Hermitian set about the geometric structure of the hydrophone was defined, and the prolate spheroidal wave functions were used to solve the semi-definite programming problem to obtain a joint estimate of DOA and delay. …”
