Novel node upgradation strategy for migration to elastic optical networks by Xiaodong FU, Yongcheng LI, Gangxiang SHEN

“…For migration from dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks to elastic optical networks (EON),it is required to upgrade the traditional reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) to the new-generation ROADM that supports flexible grids.However,for a large-scale optical network,it is generally impossible to upgrade the ROADM nodes all in once; rather,they would be upgraded gradually.For this,it is critical to study different strategies for selecting the ROADM nodes to be upgraded.Also,for the interconnection between different generations of ROADM,the sub-band virtual concatenation (VCAT) technique was employed to enable an optical channel to be established via traversing different types of nodes.An integer liner programming (ILP) model and an efficient heuristic algorithm were developed to jointly select the ROADM nodes to upgraded and assign spectrum resources.Simulation studies show that the proposed strategy for the upgraded node selection is efficient to perform close to the ILP model in terms of the maximum number of FS used in the whole network.…”

Enlarged operational area of an Interline DC power Flow controller via adaptive droop control for Multi-Terminal HVDC systems by Mirhamed Pourmirasghariyan, G.B Gharehpetian, Oriol Gomis-Bellmunt, David Campos-Gaona, Panagiotis N. Papadopoulos

“…The effective performance of Interline DC Power Flow Controllers (IDC-PFCs) in Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC)-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grids is restricted by 1) the current limitation of the HVDC cables/lines, 2) the HVDC buses’ DC voltages and 3) the IDC-PFC capacitor’s DC voltage limit. …”

Dose-dependent role of AMH and AMHR2 signaling in male differentiation and regulation of sex determination in Spotted knifejaw (Oplegnathus punctatus) with X1X1X2X2/X1X2Y chromosom... by Haixia Zhao, Jun Li, Zhizhong Xiao, Yongshuang Xiao

“…Our multi-omics analysis identified amhr2 as a candidate sex-determining gene, revealing that the males possess three distinct amhr2 transcripts (amhr2ay, amhr2by, amhr2cy), whereas females express only one (amhr2a). In situ hybridization assays demonstrated that amhr2 is predominantly localized to primary spermatocyte and Sertoli cells of male testes. …”

Krüppel-like factor 4 modulates the miR-101/COL10A1 axis to inhibit renal fibrosis after AKI by regulating epithelial–mesenchymal transition by Jingying Zhao, Xiuli Wang, Yubin Wu, Chengguang Zhao

“…This study tested the hypothesis that the Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4)/miR-101/Collagen alpha-1X (COL10A1) axis could inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and renal fibrosis after AKI in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced renal fibrosis and HK-2 cells by gene silencing, overexpression, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blotting, dual-luciferase reporter assay, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and ELISA. Compared with the Sham group, I/R induced renal tubular and glomerular injury and fibrosis, and increased the levels of BUN, serum Scr and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), Col10a1 and Vimentin expression, but decreased E-cadherin expression in the kidney tissues of mice at 42 days post-I/R. …”
