Utility-optimization dynamic subcarrier allocation algorithm for SC-FDMA systems

Two utility-optimization dynamic subcarrier allocation （DSA） algorithms are designed for single carrier frequency division multiple access system （SC-FDMA）. The two proposed algorithms aim to support diverse transmission capacity requirements in wireless networks, which consider both the channel state information （CSI） and the capacity requirements of each user by setting appropriate utility functions. Simulation results show that with considerable lower computational complexity, the first utility-optimization algorithm can meet the system capacity requirements of each user effectively. However, the rate-sum capacity performance is poor. Furthermore, the second proposed utility-opti- mization algorithm can contribute a better trade-off between system rate-sum capacity requirement and the capacity requirements of each user by introducing the signal to noise ratio （SNR） informa- tion to the utility function based on the first utility-optimization algorithm, which can improve the us- er requirements processing capability as well as achieve a better sum-rate capacity.     

Conformations and adsorption behavior of poly（allylamine hydrochloride） studied by single molecule force spectroscopy

Poly（allylamine hydrochloride） （PAH）, which is frequently used in fabricating polyelectrolyte multilayer films, was studied by single molecule force spectroscopy （SMFS）. Plenty of force-extension curves with a long plateau were obtained in water, indicating that train-like structure was predominant when PAH was adsorbed on the substrate. It was found that the peak-type force-extension curves of PAH in water were not able to be fitted by the modified freely-jointed chain model. Additionally, there was a flat region in the derivative of force-extension curves. Thus, it was inferred that PAH chain in water was in a special conformation and underwent a ＂conformational transition＂ under the stretching of an external force. This phenomenon did not appear in the SMFS experiment in 1 mol/L urea solution, which indicated that urea was able to break the special conformation.     

A Tragedy of Egoism——an Analysis of George Eliot''''s Moral Concern in Middlemarch

I.IntroductionVirginia Woolf speaks of Middlemarch as“the magnificentbook which with all its imperfection is one of the few Englishnovels written for grown-up people.”(Rubinstein,795)Middlemarch is also George Henry Lewes’favorite amongEliot’s books.Indeed,compared with Eliot’s earlier works,Middlemarch,a close“study of provincial life”,is more matureand complex.In the small provincial town——Middlemarch,individualsfrom different classes interact with each other and theirrelations…

Localization of calmodulin and calmodulin-like protein and their functions in biomineralization in P. fucata

Calmodulin (CaM) and calmodulin-like protein (CaLP) are two proteins involved in biomineralization. Their localizations in Pinctada fucata mantle epithelia were studied by Western blot (WB) analysis of the nuclear/cytosol fraction of primary cultured Pinctada fucata mantle cells and immunogold electron microscopy. The results showed a completely different distribution of these two proteins at the subcellular level. CaM was distributed throughout both the nucleus and cytoplasm of the mantle epithelium but CaLP was distributed only in the cytoplasm. The functions of these two proteins in biomineralization were investigated by shell regeneration. During this process, the expressions of CaM and CaLP were greatly enhanced in different organelles of the mantle epithelium. Overexpression of these two proteins and a mutant of calmodulin-like protein (M-CaLP) that lacks an extra C-terminal tail in MC3T3-E1 promoted the mRNA expression of osteopontin, a biomineralization marker for osteoblasts. All of the results indicated that CaM and CaLP have completely different distributions in the mantle epithelium and affect the biomineralization process at different levels. The extra C-terminal tail of CaLP is important for its functions in biomineralization in Pinctada fucata.

Investigation of hrDNA targeting vector-mediated tumor-specific suicide gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Vectors pose most pivotal problem of gene therapy[1]. Because of the high transfection efficiency both in vitro and in vivo, the viral vector has been employed in 70% clinical trials of gene therapy (http://www.wiley.co.uk/ genmed/clinical). However, thei…     

Web-Based Computing Resource Agent Publishing

Web-based Computing Resource Publishing is a efficient way to provide additional computing capacity for users who need more computing resources than that they themselves could afford by making use of idle computing resources in the Web.Extensibility and reliability are crucial for agent publishing. The parent-child agent framework and primary-slave agent framework were proposed respectively and discussed in detail.     

Construction of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium herbaceum var. africanum

Gossypium herbaceum var. africanum is the only wild cotton species within the cultivated diploid G. herbaceum. As the A sub-genome donor of tetraploid cotton, it is characterized by its resistance to insects, diseases, and other adversities. We have constructed the first bacterial artificial chromosome library (BAC) for G. herbaceum var. africanum. With high quality and broad coverage, this library includes 75000 clones, with an average insert size of about 115 kb and fewer than 4% empty clones. Our library is approximately five-fold the size of the A-genome (1667 Mb) and it provides 99.3% probability for isolating genes of interest or their sequences. Using nine SSR markers that are located on five different chromosomes and linked with resistance to Verticillium wilt, seven of nine could amplify the 40 superpools and got 1-14 hits. Because of its moderate wide coverage and relative large insert size, this library will be an important genomic resource for classifying and analyzing the evolution of cotton species, as well as for isolating disease-resistance genes and control elements.
