Dual-mode SM/STBC system with antenna subset selection employing ML detection

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system is a promising candidate to meet the demands of 4th Generation (4G) cellular communication systems by offering increased spectral efficiency through the spatial multiplexing (SM) gain, and improved link reliability through the space–time block coding (STBC) diversity gain. This paper presents a new scheme that combines the dual-mode SM/STBC and the antenna subset selection (AnSS) schemes. In the proposed scheme, the combination of the SM/STBC switching and the full antenna subset selection (AnSS) at both the transmitter (Tx) and the receiver (Rx) ends of the communication channel are adaptively selected through a simple algorithm based on the singular values of the channel matrix at the Rx side. Thus, the new scheme achieves the best BER performance over the previous works regardless of the data rate. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme with the full AnSS outperforms the previous works, by up to the 12.5 dB at the bit error rate (BER) of 10^‐5${10}^{‐5}$. Further, a partial AnSS is also proposed which dramatically reduces both the computational complexity (by 31%) and the hardware (by 50%), cost, without any appreciable loss in the BER performance, when compared with the full AnSS.

Design,Synthesis and Antifungal Evaluation of Novel Pyrylium Salt In Vitro and In Vivo

Nowadays, discovering new skeleton antifungal drugs is the direct way to address clinical fungal infections. Pyrylium salt SM21 was screened from a library containing 50,240 small molecules. Several studies about the antifungal activity and mechanism of SM21 have been reported, but the structure–activity relationship of pyrylium salts was not clear. To explore the chemical space of antifungal pyrylium salt SM21, a series of pyrylium salt derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their antifungal activity and structure-activity relationships (SAR) were investigated. Compared with SM21, most of the synthesized compounds exhibited equivalent or improved antifungal activities against Candida albicans in vitro. The synthesized compounds, such as XY10, XY13, XY14, XY16 and XY17 exhibited comparable antifungal activities against C. albicans with MIC values ranging from 0.47 to 1.0 μM. Fortunately, a compound numbered XY12 showed stronger antifungal activities and lower cytotoxicity was obtained. The MIC of compound XY12 against C. albicans was 0.24 μM, and the cytotoxicity decreased 20-fold as compared to SM21. In addition, XY12 was effective against fluconazole-resistant C. albicans and other pathogenic Candida species. More importantly, XY12 could significantly increase the survival rate of mice with a systemic C. albicans infection, which suggested the good antifungal activities of XY12 in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicated that structural modification of pyrylium salts could lead to the discovery of new antifungal drugs.

Cholesterol Alters the Phase Separation in Model Membranes Containing hBest1

Human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells express the transmembrane Ca²⁺-dependent Cl⁻ channel bestrophin-1 (hBest1) of the plasma membrane. Mutations in the hBest1 protein are associated with the development of distinct pathological conditions known as bestrophinopathies. The interactions between hBest1 and plasma membrane lipids (cholesterol (Chol), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and sphingomyelin (SM)) determine its lateral organization and surface dynamics, i.e., their miscibility or phase separation. Using the surface pressure/mean molecular area (π/A) isotherms, hysteresis and compressibility moduli (C_s⁻¹) of hBest1/POPC/Chol and hBest1/SM/Chol composite Langmuir monolayers, we established that the films are in an LE (liquid-expanded) or LE-LC (liquid-condensed) state, the components are well-mixed and the Ca²⁺ ions have a condensing effect on the surface molecular organization. Cholesterol causes a decrease in the elasticity of both films and a decrease in the ΔG_mix^π values (reduction of phase separation) of hBest1/POPC/Chol films. For the hBest1/SM/Chol monolayers, the negative values of ΔG_mix^π are retained and equalized with the values of ΔG_mix^π in the hBest1/POPC/Chol films. Shifts in phase separation/miscibility by cholesterol can lead to changes in the structure and localization of hBest1 in the lipid rafts and its channel functions.     

Round reduction-based fault attack on SM4 algorithm

A novel method of fault attack based on round reduction against SM4 algorithm was proposed.Faults were in-jected into the last four rounds of the SM4 encryption algorithm,so that the number of the algorithm's rounds can be re-duced.In known-ciphertext scenario,four traces are enough to recover the total 128 bit master key by screening these faults easily.The proposed attack is made to an unprotected SM4 smart card.Experiment shows that this attack method is efficient,and which not only simplifies the existing differential fault attack,but also improves the feasibility of the attack.     

空间调制系统的遍历容量分析

Spatial Modulation (SM) is a newly introduced wireless transmission scheme, and Space Shift Keying (SSK) is its simplified ver-sion. Their capacity performance has not been well examined to date. Starting from basic definitions of information theory, through theoretical analyses and numerical calculations, this paper evaluates the capacity of SM systems in various channels. Our con-clusion is that under Rayleigh fading channels, the capacity of the SSK system is limited by the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or the number of transmit antennas, whichever one is smaller. From the capacity point of view, the SM system is better than the Single-Input and Single-Output (SISO) system, but worse than the Multiple-Input and Single-Output (MISO) system. The correlation between transmit an-tennas will degrade the performance of the SSK system. Line-of-Sight (LOS) may cause performance degradation for SSK, but capaci-ty increases for SM.
