高轨SAR非平直几何动目标成像影响建模

高轨SAR覆盖范围广、轨道回归周期短,具有探测动目标的优势。由于高轨SAR轨道高度高,斜视成像模式下几何关系呈现非平直特点,低轨SAR平直成像几何下的影响分析模型并不能直接适用于高轨情况。建立高轨SAR非平直斜视成像几何,利用等距离等多普勒方程推导得到匀速运动目标成像位置偏移、二次相位误差、三次相位误差的解析表达式,分析目标运动对成像偏移、散焦造成的影响,并与平直成像几何下的运动成像影响进行对比分析。基于动目标探测角度给出仿真高轨SAR雷达参数和轨道参数,通过仿真分析,验证了成像影响理论推导的正确性。     

A flexible LEO satellite modem with Ka‐band RF frontend for a data relay satellite system

From a geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellite's perspective, a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite is visible on more than half of its orbit. Albeit the free‐space loss of an inter‐satellite link is much higher than the one of a direct ground link, considerable data rates and download volumes can be achieved. In this paper, we describe the system architecture of an integrated approach for a data relay satellite system and the development of LEO satellite and ground station modems. The approach allows serving several small and inexpensive LEO satellites at the same time both with low rate telemetry/telecommand links and with high rate download of sensor data.     

GEO卫星频轨选取风险柔性评估方法及应用

针对GEO卫星频轨选取风险评估面临的参评指标因基础数据条件不同而参差不齐、指标赋权因用户经验不同而存在差异的问题,提出了一种GEO卫星频轨选取风险的柔性评估方法.在模糊综合评估法的基础上,从指标计算映射、指标权重配置两个方面支持用户的柔性化配置.针对用户在指标计算映射和指标权重配置方面的差异化,分别提出了基于聚类分析和正态分布模型自主学习的柔性构建方法,融合用户的经验知识,形成大多数用户认可的指标计算映射关系和指标权重配置,使风险评估更加科学化、合理化.基于该柔性的风险评估方法,开发了B/S架构的柔性评估系统,并通过实例验证了算法和系统的有效性.     

Receiver memory management method for HARQ in LTE‐based satellite communication system

For the successful deployment of the long term evolution (LTE)‐based mobile satellite service, the price of a user terminal is one of the major factors. A user terminal for the LTE‐based satellite communication needs to be implemented with a similar hardware size that is used for a terrestrial LTE user terminal. However, for quality of service provision, the satellite user terminal needs a larger size of memories than the terrestrial terminal does. This is very evident by considering that the N‐channel stop and wait hybrid automatic repeat request requires proportionally increasing memory size by the propagation delay, resulting in unmanageable amount of memories in the satellite system. To resolve this problem, we propose an efficient memory management method at the user terminal when the size of memory is insufficient. The simulation results in this paper reveal that the proposed method can increase the throughput about 20.7% when a user terminal is operated under very low throughput condition with an insufficient memory size, compared with the case without memory management scheme. In addition, we show that the additional throughput gain can be obtained by the packet scheduling using the information of receiver memory status. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Development and Validation of a Novel 11-Gene Prognostic Model for Serous Ovarian Carcinomas Based on Lipid Metabolism Expression Profile

(1) Background: Biomarkers might play a significant role in predicting the clinical outcomes of patients with ovarian cancer. By analyzing lipid metabolism genes, future perspectives may be uncovered; (2) Methods: RNA-seq data for serous ovarian cancer were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases. The non-negative matrix factorization package in programming language R was used to classify molecular subtypes of lipid metabolism genes and the limma package in R was performed for functional enrichment analysis. Through lasso regression, we constructed a multi-gene prognosis model; (3) Results: Two molecular subtypes were obtained and an 11-gene signature was constructed (PI3, RGS, ADORA3, CH25H, CCDC80, PTGER3, MATK, KLRB1, CCL19, CXCL9 and CXCL10). Our prognostic model shows a good independent prognostic ability in ovarian cancer. In a nomogram, the predictive efficiency was notably superior to that of traditional clinical features. Related to known models in ovarian cancer with a comparable amount of genes, ours has the highest concordance index; (4) Conclusions: We propose an 11-gene signature prognosis prediction model based on lipid metabolism genes in serous ovarian cancer.     

The Cladistic Basis for the Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) Measure Links Evolutionary Features to Environmental Gradients and Supports Broad Applications of Microbial Ecology��s ��Phylogenetic Beta Diversity�� Framework

The PD measure of phylogenetic diversity interprets branch lengths cladistically to make inferences about feature diversity. PD calculations extend conventional species-level ecological indices to the features level. The “phylogenetic beta diversity” framework developed by microbial ecologists calculates PD-dissimilarities between community localities. Interpretation of these PD-dissimilarities at the feature level explains the framework’s success in producing ordinations revealing environmental gradients. An example gradients space using PD-dissimilarities illustrates how evolutionary features form unimodal response patterns to gradients. This features model supports new application of existing species-level methods that are robust to unimodal responses, plus novel applications relating to climate change, commercial products discovery, and community assembly.
