Bandwidth extension method based on nonlinear audio characteristics classification by Li-yan ZHANG, Chang-chun BAO, Xin LIU, Xing-tao ZHANG

“…A bandwidth extension method based on audio classification was proposed.Time series of audio signals were classified into four types based on recurrence plot and recurrence quantification analysis,and the fine spectrums were recovered by taking advantage of four methods respectively.In addition,the spectrum envelope and energy gain were adjusted by Gaussian mixture model and codebook mapping on the basis of soft decision respectively.Subjective and objective testing results indicate that the proposed method has good quality compared with conventional blind bandwidth extension methods,and the performance of ITU-T G.722.1 codec with the proposed algorithm is better than that of G.722.1C codec at the same bit rate.…”

Realization of auxiliary management and control channel in WDM-PON based on DBPSK re-modulation and delay interferometer detection by Bin LUO, Yong LIU, Jizhao LU, Rui GONG, Hongyu YANG, Qiushi YUAN

“…In WDM-PON,the OAM data path and user data path were independent in the TC layer.The OAM data could be transmitted either transparently or by codec.Specifically,the transparent mode was preferred by the industry network due to the free of codec and low latency.Different from the existing transparent modes,such as base-band re-modulation and RF band,a novel method for the realization of auxiliary management and control channel was proposed,which was based on the DBPSK re-modulation and delay interferometer detection.Since the OAM data was re-modulated on the phase of user data,which was modulated intensively,it would not take any impact on the quality of user data.But,in both base-band re-modulation and RF band methods,the re-modulation of OAM data would introduce interference to the user data,which was not allowed in the demanding industry network.The proposed method is thought promising as one of the solutions for auxiliary management and control channel in WDM-PON.…”

Histone Deacetylases Inhibitors in the Treatment of Retinal Degenerative Diseases: Overview and Perspectives by Hua Zhang, Xufeng Dai, Yan Qi, Ying He, Wei Du, Ji-jing Pang

“…Histone acetylation and deacetylation can regulate chromosome assembly, gene transcription, and posttranslational modification, which are regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs), respectively. The histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) have the ability to cause hyperacetylation of histone and nonhistone proteins, resulting in a variety of effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis. …”

Deep image semantic communication model for 6G by Feibo JIANG, Yubo PENG, Li DONG

“…Current semantic communication models still have some parts that can be improved in processing image data, including effective image semantic codec, efficient semantic model training, and accurate image semantic evaluation.Hence, a deep image semantic communication (DeepISC) model was proposed.The vision transformer-based autoencoder (ViTA) network was used to achieve high-quality image semantic encoding and decoding.Then, an autoencoder realized channel codec to ensure the transmission of semantics on the channel.Furthermore, the discriminator network (DSN) and ViTA’s dual network architecture were used to jointly train, thus improving the semantic accuracy of the reconstructed image.Finally, for different downstream vision tasks, different evaluation indicators of image semantics were presented.Simulation results show that compared with other schemes, DeepISC can more effectively restore the semantic features of the transmitted image, so that the reconstructed image can show the same or similar semantic results as the original image in various downstream tasks.…”
