Gene fusions are widely observed in the RNA-seq data, many of which are formed by cancer susceptibility genes. The fusion gene is formed by chromosomal mutations and is an important factor in causing cancer. Studies have shown that only a small number of identified fusion genes play a role in the carcinogenesis process. Identifying those genes is important for the study and treatment of cancer. There...
With a functional Engineering Change Order (ECO) problem, the quality of patch plays an important role in the performance of the patched circuit. In this contest, contestants need to generate patch functions that will make two circuits equivalent, while minimizing the resource cost of the generated patches. Resource cost is the comprehensive physical cost of all the patches, and minimizing the resource...
Structural variations are a complex collection of mutations, many of which are reported to associated to complex traits. Recent research reports a rare case of structural variants, complex indels, which may contribute to carcinogenesis. A complex indel often presents multiple inserted nucleotides in a deleted region. Due to the limitations on both data and algorithm, existing approaches could only...
Salt restriction, the method which was acknowledged by modern medical knowledge that could delay kidney disease progression, was advanced in ancient times. We found that salt restriction therapies were presented in many ancient literatures during our ancient literature mining work. We sorted out the ancient trace of salt restriction about edema in chronic kidney disease (CKD). From frequency of herbals,...
In this paper, low cost 1200V UHV LDMOS device has been proposed. As BVD and Ron are contradictory, so to make low Ron, high breakdown voltage is the challenge of this paper. The key feature of this device is the linear P-top which is used to obtain best charge balance, and increase the diffusion current to move faster in the drift region which reduces the electric field and substantially helps to...
According to rotary vibration at the end of the concrete pump truck boom, analysis of the boom rotary vibration mechanism is carried out. Rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model and vibration control co-simulation model of the boom system are established. The analysis of the dynamic model solution shows that the simulation rotation vibration displacement curves at the end of the boom are coincided...
In this paper, a novel capacitive coupled patch antenna array capable of providing 360° coverage is proposed. The design and performance of the antenna element is discussed. The proposed antenna design is positioned in the mobile phone chassis as a set of 4 sub-arrays each with 12 antenna elements to provide high gain around 27 dBi with each sub-array providing 90° coverage. The antenna array covers...
This paper presents a new type of cross coupled low loss and high selectivity bandpass filter operating at millimeter wave band. The filter is designed based on groove gap waveguide technology. A Ka-band 4th-order bandpass filter is proposed, designed and fabricated. Cross coupling between a one pair of non-adjacent resonators has been introduced to produce two transmission zeros at the frequencies...
Graphene plasmons exhibit much larger confinement and relatively long propagation distances at terahertz (THz) regime, with the advantage of being highly tunable via electrical and chemical doping. Thus, it provide a suitable alternative to noble-metal plasmons. We investigated the Otto configuration based THz-plasmonics sensor using a continuous suspended monolayer graphene (MLG) and graphene/insulator...
In this work we present numerical investigations of a novel terahertz (THz) photoconductive antenna with embedded electrodes using COMSOL Multiphysics software package. Simulation results indicate that the proposed THz antenna can store two times more effective electric energy than the conventional photoconductive antenna with planar electrode structures. These results suggest higher THz power could...
This research develops an amphibious transformable robot, Claw-Wheel IV, which could move on flat ground, uneven terrain, and aquatic environment. Compared to the previous version, Claw-Wheel III, the new generation has waterproof enclosure to adapt to watery environments and paddles are installed to produce underwater propulsion force, while the transformable idea and claw locomotion mechanism design...
The time domain response of a reverberation chamber plays an important role in many applications. It is normally obtained from the inverse Fourier transform of the measured S-parameters in the frequency domain, and a bandpass filter (BPF) is normally used to select the frequency band of interest. However, the selection of the BPF has rarely been discussed and is a question in practice. In this paper,...
In this paper, a new miniaturized frequency selective surface (FSS) structure is proposed. Compared with previous FSSs, the proposed structure has promising miniaturization features. The array element is implemented by using vias to connect structures on two surface layers. The dimensions of the proposed array element are only 0.035λ×0.035λ. The top layer is constructed by four spiral-shaped structures;...
This paper proposes a new design of wideband oval-shaped antenna with ±4° dipoles suitable for the base station of mobile communication systems. The designed antennas cover bands of 700–960 MHz (the lower band antenna) and 1700–2700 MHz (the upper band antenna) for cellular 2G/3G/LTE technologies. The design enjoys the advantages of stable directivity and beamwidth within frequency bands and a simple...
In this paper, the problem of adaptive fixed-time 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) tracking control for spacecraft non-cooperative rendezvous in presence of the parameter uncertainties and external disturbances is investigated. Firstly, a new multilayer fixed-time sliding mode surface (MFSMS) is designed, and the setting time of the proposed surface can be estimated without the knowledge of the initial conditions...
Reverberation chambers (RCs) are ideally suited for performing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurement or over-the-air (OTA) characterizations of antennas or devices under test. One main problem for RC measurements is the long measurement time which has greatly restricted its industrial applications. In the recent years, the University of Liverpool has been working on improving the measurement...
Designers tend to have repetitive design strategy in the process without notices. The elements setting the interactive function is to conform the user requirement and it can improve the user experiences. Although it has many information recorded on the paper, but via the think-aloud we can find out many implicit information. Then, we can go through the sketch to understand how we define the visualize...
This paper utilizes the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) to design a robust controller for adaptive cutting feedrate control. The proposed algorithm could dynamically change the feedrate according to the spindle current which is highly related to the measured cutting force. The QFT controller could provide the constant cutting force even under different cutting condition. Hence, the machining efficiency...
To address the problem of unbalanced received signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at relay and destination nodes in wireless power transfer (WPT)- supported relay system, we propose a novel asymmetric full-duplex (FD) decode-and-forward (DF) WPT relay strategy, where the transmission time slots are not necessarily identical. By introducing asymmetric time slots, higher degree of freedom...
Less offspring and aging are global issues that will be a bad news for cleaning work that requires a lot of manpower; the nightly cleaning jobs for large-scale indoor spaces introduce workers' overwork/fatigue problem. This study proposes a robot suitable for night time cleaning, which uses the industrial computer as the software control core, the AVR MCU for the control hardware part, the various...
