Partial update and sparse adaptive filters

There has been increasing research interest in developing adaptive filters with partial update (PU) and adaptive filters for sparse impulse responses. On the basis of maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, new adaptive filters are developed by determining the update when a new set of training data is received. The MAP estimation formulation permits the study of a number of different prior distributions which naturally incorporate the sparse property of the filter coefficients. First, the Gaussian prior is studied, and a new adaptive filter with PU is proposed. A theoretical basis for an existing PU adaptive filter is also studied. Then new adaptive filters that directly exploit the sparsity of the filter are developed by using the scale mixture Gaussian distribution as the prior. Two new algorithms based on the Student's-t and power-exponential distributions are presented. The minorisation-maximisation algorithm is employed as an optimisation tool. Simulation results show that the learning performance of the proposed algorithms is better than or similar to that of some recently published algorithms     

Spiking patterns of a hippocampus model in electric fields

We develop a model of CA3 neurons embedded in a resistive array to mimic the effects of electric fields from a new perspective. Effects of DC and sinusoidal electric fields on firing patterns in CA3 neurons are investigated in this study. The firing patterns can be switched from no firing pattern to burst or from burst to fast periodic firing pattern with the increase of DC electric field intensity. It is also found that the firing activities are sensitive to the frequency and amplitude of the sinusoidal electric field. Different phase-locking states and chaotic firing regions are observed in the parameter space of frequency and amplitude. These findings are qualitatively in accordance with the results of relevant experimental and numerical studies. It is implied that the external or endogenous electric field can modulate the neural code in the brain. Furthermore, it is helpful to develop control strategies based on electric fields to control neural diseases such as epilepsy.

Monolayer MoS2 Dendrites on a Symmetry‐Disparate SrTiO3 (001) Substrate: Formation Mechanism and Interface Interaction

Dendritic patterns generated in non‐equilibrium growth processes are prevalent in nature while their formation mechanisms are far from fully understood. Here, we report a coverage‐dependent fractal degree evolution of monolayer 2H‐MoS₂ dendrites synthesized on a symmetry‐disparate substrate of SrTiO₃ (001). Surprisingly, various characterizations have revealed that the monolayer dendrites featured with orthogonal backbones are single crystalline, possessing both peculiar adlayer‐substrate interaction and abnormal indirect bandgap on SrTiO₃ (001). Further theoretical calculations indicate that a prominent diffusion anisotropy of monomer precursors, combined with the disparate adlayer‐substrate symmetry, determine the diffusion‐limited aggregation of MoS₂ towards dendritic shapes. This work provides brand‐new insights in the morphological engineering of two‐dimensional atomic crystals, and contributes greatly to an in‐depth understanding of the detailed dynamics in non‐equilibrium crystal growth.     

Pogostone Enhances the Antibacterial Activity of Colistin against MCR-1-Positive Bacteria by Inhibiting the Biological Function of MCR-1

The emergence of the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance gene mcr-1 has resulted in the loss of available treatments for certain severe infections. Here we identified a potential inhibitor of MCR-1 for the treatment of infections caused by MCR-1-positive drug-resistant bacteria, especially MCR-1-positive carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). A checkerboard minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test, a killing curve test, a growth curve test, bacterial live/dead assays, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, cytotoxicity tests, molecular dynamics simulation analysis, and animal studies were used to confirm the in vivo/in vitro synergistic effects of pogostone and colistin. The results showed that pogostone could restore the bactericidal activity of colistin against all tested MCR-1-positive bacterial strains or MCR-1 mutant–positive bacterial strains (FIC < 0.5). Pogostone does not inhibit the expression of MCR-1. Rather, it inhibits the binding of MCR-1 to substrates by binding to amino acids in the active region of MCR-1, thus inhibiting the biological activity of MCR-1 and its mutants (such as MCR-3). An in vivo mouse systemic infection model, pogostone in combination with colistin resulted in 80.0% (the survival rates after monotherapy with colistin or pogostone alone were 33.3% and 40.0%) survival at 72 h after infection of MCR-1-positve Escherichia coli (E. coli) ZJ487 (blaNDM-1-carrying), and pogostone in combination with colistin led to one or more order of magnitude decreases in the bacterial burdens in the liver, spleen and kidney compared with pogostone or colistin alone. Our results confirm that pogostone is a potential inhibitor of MCR-1 for use in combination with polymyxin for the treatment of severe infections caused by MCR-1-positive Enterobacteriaceae.     

神光-Ⅲ原型装置全光路系统波前测量方法

为进一步提高神光-Ⅲ原型装置8束三倍频激光焦斑的能量集中度,需要对神光-Ⅲ原型装置的全光路系统波前进行校正。其中的关键技术之一就是要准确获得全光路系统的波前畸变。神光-Ⅲ原型装置的8束激光主放诊断包内均配置了一套哈特曼波前传感器,可以较为方便地获得主放大系统输出波前,但却无法直接获得靶场系统波前。解决方法主要有逆向标定和靶点直接测量两种,通过比较两种方法的技术复杂性、测量准确性等指标,结合对校正前后远场焦斑的测量,最终确定采用靶点直接测量的方法能简单、有效地获得全光路系统波前畸变。

Calibrating an optical fiber humidity sensor and applying it in real-time monitoring of relative humidity in fresh concrete

A doubly cladding single-mode fiber humidity sensor is fabricated by agarose. The sensor has an insertion loss of -0.08 dB and a power change of -17.83 dB. The responses of the sensor to a relative humidity （RH） range form 30% to 100% at a temperature range form 25 to 34 ~C are validated. The experiments demonstrate that the absorbability of agarose gel to moisture decreases with increasing RH in measured gas. We propose a calibration method that uses lookup tables and construct a corresponding calibration matrix. Using the sensor, we conduct real-time monitoring of RH in fresh concrete during its hardening nrocess.
