Mudança no uso e cobertura da terra na bacia hidrográfica do rio Araguaia e seus reflexos nos recursos hídricos, o trecho médio do rio Araguaia em Goiás by Maximiliano Bayer, Pâmela Camila Assis, Tainá Medeiros Suizu, Matheus Cardoso Gomes

“…In the last four decades, large extensions of the basin have been object of an intense transformation process associated with the advance of the agricultural frontier and changes in the form of occupation, whose consequences on the natural resources of the basin, especially water resources, are beginning to be a reason of concern for the society. For the area of the Araguaia river basin in Goiás, the analysis of land use and occupation processes showed a decrease of 33,8% for forest formation, 48,9% for savanna formation and an increase of 51,50% of the areas pasture and 510,6% of the annual and perennial crop areas. …”

Bi-specific autoantigen-T cell engagers as targeted immunotherapy for autoreactive B cell depletion in autoimmune diseases by Luca Perico, Federica Casiraghi, Fabiane Sônego, Marta Todeschini, Daniela Corna, Domenico Cerullo, Anna Pezzotta, Patricia Isnard-Petit, Silvia Faravelli, Federico Forneris, Kader Thiam, Ariela Benigni, Giuseppe Remuzzi

“…However, current first-line treatments rely on non-specific and general suppression of the immune system, exposing patients to severe side effects. For this reason, identification of targeted therapies for autoimmune diseases is an unmet clinical need.MethodsHere, we designed a novel class of immunotherapeutic molecules, Bi-specific AutoAntigen-T cell Engagers (BiAATEs), as a potential approach for targeting the small subset of autoreactive B cells. …”

Gas Hydrate Accumulation and Occurrence Associated with Cold Seep Systems in the Northern South China Sea: An Overview by Wei Zhang, Jinqiang Liang, Qianyong Liang, Jiangong Wei, Zhifeng Wan, Junxi Feng, Wei Huang, Jing Zhao, Miaomiao Meng, Wei Deng, Chongmin Chen

“…We also discuss the paragenetic relationship between the gas-bearing fluid and the seafloor morphology of cold seeps and the deep-shallow coupling of gas hydrates, cold seeps, and deep petroleum reservoirs. It is reasonable to conclude that the deep petroleum systems and gas-bearing fluid activity jointly control the development of cold seep systems and the accumulation of gas hydrates in the northern South China Sea. …”

Electromagnetic signal modulation recognition technology based on lightweight deep neural network by Sicheng ZHANG, Yun LIN, Ya TU, Shiwen Mao

“…In response to the trend that in the 6th generation wireless (6G) era,mobile communications and artificial intelligence will be closely integrated,and a huge number of edge intelligent signal processing nodes will be deployed,an efficient and intelligent electromagnetic signal recognition model was proposed,which could be deployed on resource-constrained edge devices.The constellation diagram of electromagnetic signal was firstly drawn to visualize electromagnetic signal as a two-dimensional image,and color the constellation diagram according to the normalized point density to achieve feature enhancement.Then,a binary deep neural network was adopted to recognize the colored constellation diagrams.It was shown that the approach can guarantee a high recognition accuracy,which significantly reduced the model storage and calculation costs.For verification,the proposed approach was applied to the problem of electromagnetic signal modulation recognition.The experiment uses eight commonly used digital modulation signals and selects additive white Gaussian noise as the channel environment.The experimental results show that the scheme can achieve a comprehensive recognition rate of 96.1% under the noise condition of -6～6 dB,while the size of the network model is only 166 KB.Further,the execution time,when executed on a Raspberry Pi 4B,is only 290 ms.Compared to a full-precision network of the same scale,the accuracy is increased by 0.6%,the model is reduced to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mtext>1</mtext> <mrow> <mtext>26</mtext><mo>.…”

“…Similarly, proteins involved in cellular immune response and apoptosis (LAG-3 and TRAIL) showed elevated levels in viral CAP, while bacterial CAP exhibited notable elevation in pattern-recognizing receptors (CLEC4D and EN-RAGE). Additionally, within the lipidomic profile at baseline, several lipids displayed notable differences between viral and bacterial pneumonia, including bile acids (GCA, TCA, TCDCA), various tri- and diglycerides (TGs and DGs), and several phosphatidylcholines (PCs). …”
