    To reduce interference from cognitive users with licensed users, and raise spectrum efficiency as much as possible in cognitive radio spectrum access based on fixed sensing period (FSP), a new technique called dynamic spectrum access using joint probability channel prediction (JPCP) based on hidden Markov model (HMM) is proposed. After cognitive users have occupied a licensed spectrum, whether it should quit the channel can be determined by comparing the JPCP value with the threshold defined to reduce interference from cognitive users with licensed users. When cognitive users fail to access the licensed spectrum, a temporary spectrum sensing mechanism is inserted to efficiently find the spectral slot in the licensed spectrum to raise efficiency of cognitive users. Simulation shows that, as compared to the conventional FSP, the proposed technique can reduce interference from cognitive users with licensed users, and raise spectrum efficiency of cognitive users.

    A novel approach of regional blur identification is proposed and applied to image forgery detection. Based on least-square (LS) estimation, prediction error of each pixel is calculated. Variance of the prediction errors of a pixel and its neighborhood is regarded as the blur characteristic of the pixel. A threshold is determined dynamically according to the distribution of correlation coefficient in the frequency domain and blur characteristic in the spatial domain. Thus pixels in a blurred area are discriminated from sharp pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a high accuracy rate in blur region detection.

    In this paper, a novel microstrip filter with the center frequency 2.4 GHz and five microstrip hairpins is presented. By coupling between adjacent resonators, two transmission zeros have been realized at the upper and lower pass-band edge, respectively, making the pass-band edge very steep, and forcing the second harmonic 3.5 GHz away from the center frequency. Simulation results show that the proposed filter has excellent performance in the pass-band with sharp cutoff frequency response, and can reduce the second harmonic. The filter has two transmission zeros, each on one side of the pass-band without offset. This is in good agreement with the simulation results. However the pass-band performance is to be improved.

    An interior point algorithm based on large-step path following for solving constrained nonlinear programming problem is presented. To overcome the difficulty of initialization in the interior point method, an equivalent problem that incorporates an auxiliary variable is introduced. An inequality is constructed to proof the global convergence. Based on the work done before, a large-step path-following interior point algorithm is established. The proposed algorithm only requires a finite number of iterations to reach a near-optimal solution. Numerical tests are given to show feasibility of the algorithm.

    The Schrodinger equation with the modified Poschl-Teller potential is studied by working in a complete square integrable basis that carries a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. In this program, solving the Schrodinger equation is translated into finding solutions of a resulting three-term recursion relation for expansion coefficients of the wave functions. It is shown that with the tridiagonal representation, the wave function of the Schrodinger equation is expressed in terms of the Jacobi polynomial and the discrete spectrum of the bound states is obtained by diagonalization of the recursion relation.

    As a key tumor suppressor, p53 plays an important role in the suppression of tumorgenesis, which functions as a transcription factor, controlling the expression of a number of target genes. Oscillations of p53 expression were observed after DNA damage. Some models were proposed to explain the mechanism for p53 oscillations. However, many of these models suggest that the time delay between p53 and Mdm2 is the key factor triggering the oscillations. This paper proposes a new model based on chemical kinetics in which the transcriptional and translational process are considered separately and sufficient conditions for p53 oscillations are given by application of the Hopf bifurcation theory. Numerical simulations indicate that our model is more robust to parameter variations compared with the time delay models, thus giving a better explanation to the mechanism for p53 oscillations. Recently, microRNAs regulated by p53 were identified by several experimental studies. These studies highlight the microRNAs miR-34 as direct, conserved p53 target genes and suggest that miR-34 as central mediators of p53 target genes regulates their expression at post-transcriptional level. The regulation effects of miR-34 in our framework model are briefly investigated. Numerical evidences are given to show that microRNAs have a refined regulation of p53 target genes.

    A cellular automaton model is proposed to depict dynamical evolution of urban traffic flow under control of traffic lights on a single-lane road. It is assumed that traffic lights have global influence on vehicles, and drivers adjust their behaviors timely according to the states of traffic light. Furthermore, anticipation effect is taken into account to predict the movement of vehicles in the presence of traffic lights. Therefore vehicles can move forward more smoothly. This is in agreement with the actual situation. It is expected that using the proposed strategy in driving can help reduce vehicle idling and abrupt deceleration and lead to less emission of exhausted gas.

    Based on a continuum model of interaction between pile and soil, dynamic characteristics of horizontal vibration of a Timoshenko type end-bearing pile in a linear viscoelastic soil layer is studied by making the pile equivalent to a Timoshenko beam and using the existing results of soil resistance. Semi-analytical expressions of dynamic stiffness of the pile head is presented in the frequency domain. Variations of stiffness with respect to frequency are shown in terms of figures. Influences of the material and geometry parameters on stiffness are discussed. The results are compared with those obtained from the Euler-Bernoulli type model. It is shown that the dynamic stiffness of the end-bearing pile depends on the pile’s slenderness ratio, soil property and excitation frequency. The results presented are useful in pile design.

    According to a large amount of experimental results and data of actual earthquake damages, the reinforced concrete frame joints under lateral loads have several different failure modes. Most joint failure modes are brittle. To determine differences in seismic performances of joints between different failure modes, based on an experiment of Tsonos and a local earthquake damage example, four exterior joints are calculated by using the civilFEM module of ANSYS. The strength, deformation and energy dissipation capacity of different failure mode joints are compared. The results show that the energy dissipation capacity of every failure modes is different, and is uncorrelated with the strength of the joint. The failure modes of joints can be achieved by controlling the failure mode parameter.

    Cupriavidus necator JMP134 (C.necator JMP134) is a model for biodegradation of aromatic compounds. The function of phenol degradation of this strain relies on a whole gene cluster. Therefore, isolation of the gene cluster is important. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library from C. necator JMP134 with vector pIndigo-BAC 5 was constructed. The library consisted of about 9 600 clones, 99% of which having an insertion with average insertion size of 65 kb. The BAC library was estimated to have 860 times of genome size. After screening one tenth of the total library clones with PCR using the designed specific primers, eleven phlN2 positive clones were obtained. The result indicates that the BAC library has high quality and high coverage, and is sufficient for isolation of target genes.

    An ambient temperature Arabidopsis thaliana male sterile mutant ambient temperature-sensory male sterile 1 (atms1), generated from ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis has been identified. At low temperature 16 ℃, atms1 showed 100% pollen viability and silique fertility, while with the culture temperature increased, atms1 showed decreasing pollen viability and silique fertility. Therefore atms1 is a temperature sensory male sterile mutant. The morphological assay demonstrated that atms1 anther showed few significant impairments compared with wild-type anther when ambient temperature was below 23 ℃. At higher temperature 27 ℃, the atms1 anther exhibited pleiotropic phenotypes: the developmental phases of anthers within one flower differed significantly; the callose layer of pollen mother cell of mutant was much thinner than that of wild-type, and the atms1 tapetum development exhibited much retarded than corresponding wild-type tapetum. Genetic assay demonstrated that the phenotypes of atms1 were controlled by a single recessive locus.
