Design and Statistical Analysis of Pooled Next Generation Sequencing for Rare Variants by Tao Wang, Chang-Yun Lin, Yuanhao Zhang, Ruofeng Wen, Kenny Ye

“…However, several key issues need to be addressed for pooled NGS. One of them is the high sequencing error rate and its high variability across genomic positions and experiment runs, which, if not well considered in the experimental design and analysis, could lead to either inflated false positive rates or loss in statistical power. …”

Influence of iron ore concentrate on the characteristics of sintering and reduction of sinter by Guo H., Shen F.-M., Jiang X., Xiang D.-W., Zheng H.-Y.

“…The influence mechanism of iron ore on the fluidity was further analyzed by using SEM and ion theory of slag. With the increase SiO2 content of iron ore, the fluidity index increased, the main reason was that the amount of liquid phase increased and the melting point decreased during the sintering. …”

Optimal resource allocation for two-stage connectionless access with collision detection by Xin JIAN, Fang WANG, Jian SONG, Shu FU, Xiaoheng TAN, Xiaoping ZENG

“…Connectionless access allows massive machine type communication (mMTC) devices to transmit small packets without establishment of radio bearers,significantly reducing device power consumption and control signaling overhead.Two-stage connectionless access (TSCLA) improves throughput and resource efficiency by optimally allocating resources between scheduling request (SR) phase and data transmission phase,which can be used for bigger packets and high traffic load.Based on this,a comprehensive theoretical analysis of one kind of TSCLA with collision detection was conducted to investigate its performance limit and devise its optimal resource allocation scheme.In addition,to avoid the complexity of user number estimation,a dynamic resource allocation algorithm with feedback control was proposed.Numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness of aforementioned theoretical results and show that comparing with the genie aided algorithm known exactly the number of users,the performance loss of the proposed algorithm is within 4%.These works together provide good references for appropriate resource dimensioning for mMTC related protocols.…”
