The Neurobiological Pathogenesis of Poststroke Depression by Chao Feng, Min Fang, Xue-Yuan Liu

“…Activation of immune system after stroke produces more cytokines which increase glutamate excitotoxicity, results in more cell deaths of critical areas and enlargement of infarctions, and, together with hypercortisolism induced by stress or inflammation after stroke which could decrease intracellular serotonin transporters, might be the key biochemical change of PSD. The interaction among cytokines, glucocorticoid, and neurotrophin results in the decrease of hippocampal neurogenesis which has been proved to be important for mood control and pharmaceutical effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and might be another promising pathway to understand the pathogenesis of PSD. …”

Deep soil contributions to global nitrogen budgets by Maya Almaraz, Chao Wang, Michelle Y. Wong

“…Abstract Previous estimates of deep soil inorganic nitrogen (N) reservoirs have been mainly limited to desert soils, however, recent evidence suggests that deep soil pools are far more ubiquitous across biomes and therefore may be important for global N budgets. …”

Environmental-adaptive RSS-based indoor localization by Ting-ting WANG, Wei KE, Chao SUN

“…A novel two-step dictionary learning (DL) framework was proposed to dynamically adjust the overcomplete basis (a.k.a.dictionary) for matching the changes of the RSS measurements,and then the sparse solution can better represent location estimations.Moreover,a modified re-weighting l<sub>1</sub>norm minimization algorithm was proposed to improve reconstruction performance for sparse signals.The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by experimental results where the locations of targets can be obtained from noisy signals,even if the number of targets is not known a priori.…”
