Seq2scFv: a toolkit for the comprehensive analysis of display libraries from long-read sequencing platforms by Marianne Bachmann Salvy, Luca Santuari, Emanuel Schmid-Siegert, Nikolaos Lykoskoufis, Ioannis Xenarios, Bulak Arpat

“…In addition to providing annotated scFvs, translated sequences and numbered chains, Seq2scFv enables linker inference and characterization, sequence encoding with unique identifiers and quantification of identical sequences across selection rounds, thereby simplifying enrichment identification. With its versatile and standalone functionality, we anticipate that the implementation of Seq2scFv tools in antibody discovery pipelines will efficiently expedite the full characterization of display libraries and potentially facilitate the identification of high-affinity antibody candidates.…”

Congestion control protocol design based on delay parameters for layered multicast communication by BIAN Jing1, WANG Ze-qiang1, ZHANG Guang-zhao2, YANG Yi-qiang3

“…A congestion control mechanism,BDP（based on delay parameters） was presented to be used in receiver-driven layered multicast for multimedia transmission.Based on the dynamic varying of delay parameters,BDP can estimate the path’s available bandwidth for adaptive decision of layer join in order to provide guarantee of efficient network resources utilization,and can forecast the network congestion state in quick response to it.The ns2 simulation results show that BDP can achieve scalability,stability,fast convergence and be superior to MRAAR-MT protocol in TCP fairness.…”

Analysis of Seasonal Variation Characteristics of Circulation in Pearl River Estuary by HUANG Chunhua, LIU Xiaojian, GUO Huiqun, HOU Peng, CHEN Wei

“…Estuarine circulation controls the regional dynamic pattern,which affects the salinity,suspended sediment,and nutrient salt transport in the estuary.Based on the ocean assimilation data HYCOM,this study analyzed the seasonal variation characteristics and evolution rules of the circulation in the Pearl River Estuary and constructed the annual circulation path in the Pearl River Estuary.The results show that:①The current in the Pearl River Estuary and its adjacent waters shows obvious seasonal variation,with a change period of about one year,and as the current gets closer to the open sea,the change period is more obvious;②the open sea of the Pearl River Estuary is controlled by the circulation all the year round,which shows southwest coastal current in winter and turns to northeast upwelling current in summer due to the influence of the South China Sea warm current,of which the former accounting for about 66.5% is more than the latter accounting for about 33.5%;③the current in the Pearl River Estuary is a southwest-northeast reciprocating flow in summer and a counterclockwise circulation in winter.…”

Changes in Vertical Stratification of Neotropical Nymphalid Butterflies at Forest Edges Are Not Directly Caused by Light and Temperature Conditions by Brian K. Oye, Ryan I. Hill

“…Like other arthropod assemblages, neotropical fruit-feeding butterfly communities show strong vertical stratification within forests, with some recent work showing its potential role in speciation. At forest edges, species considered to be forest canopy specialists have been observed descending to the forest understory, with the similarity in light conditions between the canopy and understory strata at edges hypothesized to be responsible for this phenomenon. …”
