A Novel Carrier Loop Based on Coarse-to-Fine Weighted Adaptive Kalman Filter for Weak Communication-Positioning Integrated Signal.

We propose a communication-navigation integrated signal (CPIS), which is superimposed on the communication signal with power that does not affect the communication service, and realizes high-precision indoor positioning in a mobile communication network. Due to the occlusion of indoor obstacles and the power limitation of the positioning signal, existing carrier loop algorithms have large tracking errors in weak signal environments, which limits the positioning performance of the receiver in a complex environment. The carrier loop based on Kalman filtering (KF) has a good performance in respect of weak signals.

Upconversion luminescence-based aptasensor for the detection of thyroid-stimulating hormone in serum.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) plays a crucial physiological and pathological role in humans, and a timely and sensitive detection of TSH is critical for early diagnosis and prevention of thyroid-related diseases. Herein, we developed a simple wash-free biological aptasensor based on luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) between NaYF:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) for the detection of TSH with high sensitivity. In this LRET system, UCNPs as donors and TAMRA as receptors were modified with nucleic acid aptamers Apt-1 and Apt-2, respectively.

Harnessing Current Knowledge of DNA N6-Methyladenosine From Model Plants for Non-model Crops.

Epigenetic modifications alter the gene activity and function by causing change in the chromosomal architecture through DNA methylation/demethylation, or histone modifications without causing any change in DNA sequence. In plants, DNA cytosine methylation (5mC) is vital for various pathways such as, gene regulation, transposon suppression, DNA repair, replication, transcription, and recombination. Thanks to recent advances in high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies for epigenomic "Big Data" generation, accumulated studies have revealed the occurrence of another novel DNA methylation mark, N6-methyladenosine (6mA), which is highly present on gene bodies mainly activates gene expression in model plants such as eudicot Arabidopsis () and monocot rice ().

A Novel Location Source Optimization Algorithm for Low Anchor Node Density Wireless Sensor Networks.

Location information is one of the basic elements of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is also an important research direction in the application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Aiming at addressing the TOA positioning problem in the low anchor node density deployment environment, the traditional cooperative localization method will reduce the positioning accuracy due to excessive redundant information. In this regard, this paper proposes a location source optimization algorithm based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.

Competitive oxidation and ubiquitylation on the evolutionarily conserved cysteine confer tissue-specific stabilization of Insig-2.

Insig-2 is an ER membrane protein negatively controlling lipid biosynthesis. Here, we find that Insig-2 is increased in the tissues, including liver, but unaltered in the muscle of gp78-deficient mice. In hepatocytes and undifferentiated C2C12 myoblasts, Insig-2 is ubiquitylated on Cys215 by gp78 and degraded.

Antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of novel silkworm-like nisin@PEGylated MoS.

Recently, molybdenum disulfide functionalized with poly-ethylene glycol (PEGylated MoS) has been widely used as a new drug delivery vehicle in biomedical field. However, the weak antibacterial activity of PEGylated MoS limits its application as an antibacterial agent. In this work, a novel silkworm-like conjugate of nisin loaded PEGylated MoS (nisin@PEGylated MoS) was developed for antibacterial application.
