A simulation method for compatibility between IMT-2020 base station with array antenna and DAB earth station by Tianqi HE, Tan WANG, Zhaojun QIAN, Peng LIU

“…The array antenna model and its parameters in ITU-R REC M.2101 were introduced in detail,and the model would be implemented in IMT deployment scenario modeling.Based on the lumped interference assessment method,the interference of the large-scale base station deployment to the central earth station at different distances was simulated,and the distance was protected by comparing the interference threshold.The research results can provide reference for future IMT system design and deployment,5G or related frequency planning.…”

The insertion of an ancestral gene in Nicotiana tabacum plants reduces free radicals during saline irrigation by Claudia Marissa Calderón Torres, Victoria Abril Mancilla Galván, Miguel Murguía Romero

“…Previously, it was reported that genetically modified Nicotiana tabacum with the ARO4 gene of aromatic amino acid synthesis from the yeast Debaryomyces hansenii increases its growth during moderate salt stress. In this investigation, it was explored if the changes in the expression of the gene DhARO4 in Nicotiana tabacum, during saline irrigation, are related to the chlorophyll content and the total reactive oxygen species production. …”

Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”
