Using linear models in optimizing parameters of time-triggered protocols

A mechanism of synchronization of components of distributed systems in which communications are based on a common time schedule for all system components is illustrated by examples of simple Time-Triggered Protocols. For parametric linear models of synchronization, the optimization problem is considered for a parameter that should exclude the overlapping of messages in communication channels. The results of using numeric methods for estimation of the optimal value of this parameter are described. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 3, pp. 24–32, May–June 2006.     

Extracellular Vesicles Tune the Immune System in Renal Disease: A Focus on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,Antiphospholipid Syndrome,Thrombotic Microangiopathy and ANCA-Vasculitis

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are microparticles released in biological fluids by different cell types, both in physiological and pathological conditions. Owing to their ability to carry and transfer biomolecules, EV are mediators of cell-to-cell communication and are involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases. The ability of EV to modulate the immune system, the coagulation cascade, the angiogenetic process, and to drive endothelial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of both autoimmune and renal diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated the involvement of EV in the control of renal homeostasis by acting as intercellular signaling molecules, mediators of inflammation and tissue regeneration. Moreover, circulating EV and urinary EV secreted by renal cells have been investigated as potential early biomarkers of renal injury. In the present review, we discuss the recent findings on the involvement of EV in autoimmunity and in renal intercellular communication. We focused on EV-mediated interaction between the immune system and the kidney in autoimmune diseases displaying common renal damage, such as antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, thrombotic microangiopathy, and vasculitis. Although further studies are needed to extend our knowledge on EV in renal pathology, a deeper investigation of the impact of EV in kidney autoimmune diseases may also provide insight into renal biological processes. Furthermore, EV may represent promising biomarkers of renal diseases with potential future applications as diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

基于离线可信第三方的电子支付协议公平性分析

基于离线可信第三方的电子支付协议通常具有复杂结构,它由多个子协议组合而成,与传统认证协议有显著差别,主要表现在协议目标和攻击者模型两个方面.电子支付协议最主要目的是实现买卖双方的公平交换,同时假定交换双方都可能是不诚实的,需要考虑来自协议合法实体的内部攻击.在重新定义协议公平性和攻击者模型的基础上,提出扩展的串空间模型,以一个真实的电子支付协议为对象,演示了基于串空间理论的电子支付协议公平性形式化模型和分析方法,并指出该协议存在安全缺陷,提出改进意见.

A Facile Synthesis for One Novel N-Heteroacene 9, 11, 20, 22-Tetraaza-Tetrapyridopentacene and Its Mechanism Analysis

ABSTRACT

N-heteroacenes have received significant attention due to their unique properties, especially in applications of organic electronics. 9, 11, 20, 22-tetraaza-tetrapyridopentacene (TTP) has been prepared under two conditions, respectively. It is found that with addition of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) as a catalyst, the yield of TTP rises from 83% to 94%, and the mechanism for this phenomenon is analyzed. After purified by physical transport sublimation, TTP was characterized by MALDI-TOF, FT-IR, and TGA. The structure of TTP has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis as well. All the results indicate TTP exhibits promising potential for applications in organic semiconductor devices.     

Numerical Analysis of the Nb(C,N) Precipitation Kinetics in Microalloyed Steels

Precipitation kinetics of Nb(C,N) in microalloyed steels is crucial for the achievement of favoured steel properties. Therefore, numerous experimental studies have been performed in the past and various theoretical models have been developed to describe Nb(C,N) precipitation. However, the experimental data is sometimes contradictory and even the thermodynamic data for NbC solubility in austenite have a large scatter. In this paper, experimental results on the Nb(C,N) and NbV(C,N) precipitation kinetics in deformed and undeformed austenite are reviewed. Based on these data and with the precipitation kinetics module of the software package MatCalc, computer simulations are performed. The predicted interfacial energy of precipitates is adjusted to match the observed kinetics. A comparison between experimental information and simulation, i.e. time ‐ temperature ‐ precipitation (TTP) diagrams, is drawn and discussed. The results of the computer simulations using modified interfacial energies are in good agreement with the experiments.
