Substance use as a robust correlate of school outcome measures for ethnically diverse adolescents of Asian/Pacific Islander ancestry.

School psychologists are generally not provided with the knowledge and skills to address both educational and psychosocial issues of Asian American and Pacific Islander students. The present study is the first of its kind in examining 36 independent (i.e., demographic, social, cultural, psychological) variables in association with four school outcomes (i.e., grade point average, absences, suspensions, and school infractions) with a large sample of Caucasian, Filipino, Native Hawaiian, Japanese, mixed/non-Hawaiian, and "other" Hawai'i high school students (N = 2,833). Given the relatively unique sample in question and the sheer number of variables, an exploratory approach was utilized with the goal of determining the most robust independent variables, with the unique inclusion of Hawaiian cultural identification. A cross-validation technique was used, whereby stepwise regressions were performed for each of two cross-validation samples; only common variables were retained in a final stepwise model for each of the four school outcomes. The results indicated that, remarkably, substance use accounted for the most variance (i.e., 8.4% -16.1 %) in the four school measures. Further analyses detailed the relationship, including the finding that smoking cigarettes regularly, accounted for the most variance compared to the other five substance use items. Further research and implications of the findings are discussed, including the need for prevention and intervention programs that incorporate substance use as a component, both within and outside of school environments.

新型基于几何的3D非平稳V2V MIMO信道模型

针对具有多种通信场景和收发端快速移动的V2V通信系统,提出一种基于几何的3D V2V MIMO信道模型.该模型首次结合双球模型和半椭球体模型,分别使用双球和半椭球体模型表征动态和静止散射体;考虑到收发端的运动状态,引入时变的出发角、到达角以及路径长度用于研究V2 V信道的非平稳特性;对所提出的信道模型,推导了空间互相关、时间自相关和多普勒功率谱密度等统计特性函数,分析了不同场景和参数下的V2 V信道统计特性.结果表明,不同场景下V2 V信道各统计特性有较大差异,信道相关性与时间变化和散射体分布密切相关.仿真结果与理论值的高度拟合验证了模型的正确性,为V2 V通信链路的设计提供了理论依据,拓展了基于几何的V2 V信道建模领域的研究.     

基于Zadoff-Chu序列的频控阵稳健波束成形方法

不同于传统相控阵,频控阵（Frequency Diverse Array,FDA）在所有阵元间引入频率偏差,可以生成具有精准指向特性的点状辐射方向图,有效克服传统相控阵方位角相关性导致的接收方向射频信号安全性下降的问题。作为与传统相控阵的本质区别,FDA阵元频偏设置直接影响FDA辐射方向图的形状。为了生成理想的点状方向图,提出了一种Zadoff-Chu FDA（ZC-FDA）稳健波束成形方案,利用Zadoff-Chu序列调整阵元频偏,消除FDA辐射方向图周期性,抑制距离-方位角耦合性。与现有FDA系统相比,ZC-FDA方案在理想点状辐射方向图生成和波束旁瓣水平抑制方面具有明显优势。     

Adaptive detection with conic rejection to suppress deceptive jamming for frequency diverse MIMO radar

With traditional radar systems, it is not easy to classify and suppress the intended false targets, especially in case of the mainlobe deceptive jamming. In this paper, the deceptive jamming suppression issue is formulated as a problem of detecting the presence of target signal while rejecting potential deceptive jamming under the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with frequency diverse array (FDA) as the transmit array. The problem at hand is settled by resorting to the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT); at the design stage we define the sets where the false target and true target lie in. Since FDA-MIMO radar provides controllable degrees of freedom in both range and angle domains, the sets are range–angle related. This implies that both range and angle properties can be used to suppress the false targets. Based on the detector, a two-pulse scheme is proposed to guarantee high rejection probability of deceptive jamming. At the analysis stage, the performance of the detector is assessed in comparison with the conventional MIMO scenario and other detectors. The performance assessment shows that the proposed solutions are effective in the presence of electronic countermeasure (ECM) systems, especially when facing mainlobe deceptive jamming.

A proteomic analysis of green and white sturgeon larvae exposed to heat stress and selenium

Temperature and selenium are two environmental parameters that potentially affect reproduction and stock recruitment of sturgeon in the San Francisco Bay/Delta Estuary. To identify proteins whose expression is modified by these environmental stressors, we performed a proteomic analysis on larval green and white sturgeons exposed to 18 or 26 °C and micro-injected with Seleno-L-Methionine to reach 8 µg g⁻¹ selenium body burden, with L-Methionine as a control. Selenium and high temperature induced mortalities and abnormal morphologies in both species, with a higher mortality in green sturgeon. Larval proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and differential abundances were detected following spot quantitation and hierarchical cluster analysis. In green sturgeon, 34 of 551 protein spots detected on gels showed a variation in abundance whereas in white sturgeon only 9 of 580 protein spots were differentially expressed (P < 0.01). Gel replicates were first grouped according to heat treatment. Fifteen of these spots were identified using MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. Proteins involved in protein folding, protein synthesis, protein degradation, ATP supply and structural proteins changed in abundance in response to heat and/or selenium. 40S ribosomal protein SA, FK506-binding protein 10, 65 kDa regulatory subunit A of protein phosphatase 2, protein disulfide isomerase, stress-induced-phosphoprotein 1, suppression of tumorigenicity 13 and collagen type II alpha 1, were differentially expressed in high temperature treatment only. Serine/arginine repetitive matrix protein 1, creatine kinase, serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 5 and HSP90 were sensitive to combined temperature and selenium exposure. Valosin-containing protein, a protein involved in aggresome formation and in protein quality control decreased more than 50% in response to selenium treatment. Potential use of such proteins as biomarkers of environmental stressors in larval sturgeons could indicate early warning signals preceding population decline.
