多用户正交多级差分混沌键控通信系统

针对传统差分混沌键控(differential chaos shift keying, DCSK)采用多电平方式传输多进制信息导致误比特率(bit error rate, BER)高的缺点,提出一种多用户正交多级DCSK(multi-user orthogonal multi-level DCSK, MOM-DCSK)通信系统。该系统将传输的多进制信息映射为不同的传输系数,多个传输系数分别乘以对应的Walsh码后调制在信息承载信号上,并且通过不同的延时传输多用户信息。在加性高斯白噪声(additive white Gaussian noise, AWGN)信道和多径Rayleigh衰落信道中推导了系统的理论BER公式并进行了仿真分析。结果显示，该系统在传输多进制信息时拥有较好的误码性能,并且在多用户传输领域中有较好的实际应用价值。

Blockage of the NLRP3 inflammasome by MCC950 improves anti-tumor immune responses in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical innate immune pathway responsible for producing active interleukin (IL)-1β, which is associated with tumor development and immunity. However, the mechanisms regulating the inflammatory microenvironment, tumorigenesis and tumor immunity are unclear. Herein, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome was over-expressed in human HNSCC tissues and that the IL-1β concentration was increased in the peripheral blood of HNSCC patients. Additionally, elevated NLRP3 inflammasome levels were detected in tumor tissues of Tgfbr1/Pten 2cKO HNSCC mice, and elevated IL-1β levels were detected in the peripheral blood serum, spleen, draining lymph nodes and tumor tissues. Blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation using MCC950 remarkably reduced IL-1β production in an HNSCC mouse model and reduced the numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory T cells (Tregs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Moreover, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation increased the numbers of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in HNSCC mice. Notably, the numbers of exhausted PD-1⁺ and Tim3⁺ T cells were significantly reduced. A human HNSCC tissue microarray showed that NLRP3 inflammasome expression was correlated with the expression of CD8 and CD4, the Treg marker Foxp3, the MDSC markers CD11b and CD33, and the TAM markers CD68 and CD163, PD-1 and Tim3. Overall, our results demonstrate that the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway promotes tumorigenesis in HNSCC and inactivation of this pathway delays tumor growth, accompanied by decreased immunosuppressive cell accumulation and an increased number of effector T cells. Thus, inhibition of the tumor microenvironment through the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway may provide a novel approach for HNSCC therapy.     

Ciliary proteins Fap43 and Fap44 interact with each other and are essential for proper cilia and flagella beating

Cilia beating is powered by the inner and outer dynein arms (IDAs and ODAs). These multi-subunit macrocomplexes are arranged in two rows on each outer doublet along the entire cilium length, except its distal end. To generate cilia beating, the activity of ODAs and IDAs must be strictly regulated locally by interactions with the dynein arm-associated structures within each ciliary unit and coordinated globally in time and space between doublets and along the axoneme. Here, we provide evidence of a novel ciliary complex composed of two conserved WD-repeat proteins, Fap43p and Fap44p. This complex is adjacent to another WD-repeat protein, Fap57p, and most likely the two-headed inner dynein arm, IDA I1. Loss of either protein results in altered waveform, beat stroke and reduced swimming speed. The ciliary localization of Fap43p and Fap44p is interdependent in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila.     

高温作用后砂岩物理力学性质阈值温度的确定——基于机器学习算法

通过采用机器学习算法，提出了高温作用后砂岩物理力学性质变化的阈值温度的确定方法。基于Python语言，利用K-Means、SVM算法，实现了对样本数据的分类和聚类，确定了阈值温度区间，验证了二分类法的合理性和准确性.结果表明，砂岩样本的阈值温度区间为400~600 ℃，阈值温度上下砂岩的物理力学性质存在显著差异，体现为阈值温度区间以下的岩样物理力学性质较为分散，而阈值温度区间以上的岩样物理力学性质较为集中.     

Pilot Study on Nanofiltration Combined with Ozonation and GAC for Advanced Drinking Water Treatment

IntroductionThe conventional process for surface water treatment,which consists of flocculation, sedimentation and filtrationcurrently, had been applied inproducingdrinkingwater formany years. Although this process can remove turbidityand bacteria in surface water effectively, only about from20% to 30% of natural organic matter ( NOM) can beeliminated. When the purified water is disinfected bychlorination, these NOMs may react with chlorine. As aresult some dis…

转型期乡镇集体企业模糊产权的根源与明晰途径

明晰的产权意味着财产所有者对其财产的各个方面具有完全的控制权，模糊产权实际上是最终控制权模糊性．我国的乡镇集体企业是产权模糊的典型。从政企关系、市场体系、经营者的激励等方面可探明转型期乡镇企业模糊产权的形成原因．转型期政府与企业的关系决定了模糊产权的存在是社会强制机制作用的结果，转型期不完善的市场体系是导致模糊产权形成的环境因素，企业经营者的控制权激励是模糊产权得以延续的制度根源．
