This article investigates bipartite consensus of multiagent systems under unknown false data injection attacks. Attacks are launched in the channels from controller to actuator. To compensate for impact attacks, an extended observer including absolute output information is first constructed, and then observer-based event-triggered designed save resources. Moreover, fully asynchronous proposed. Sufficient criteria deduced guarantee consensus, Zeno behavior further ruled out. Finally,...

The quasi-synchronization problems of the delayed multiplex networks with stochastic perturbations are investigated in this article. Different from previous studies on complete synchronization for networks, quasi-synchronization, which is more practical and challenging than synchronization, discussed. To adopt a better cost-saving control, an impulsive pinning scheme designed. That is, key nodes pinned controlled at instants. At same time, virtual leader introduced. Based theory differential...

Prostate cancer, the most frequently diagnosed carcinoma in males, is readily modulated via transcriptional activity of androgen receptors. Our recent publication reported that receptor-dependent transcription significantly elevated with expression human sentrin/SUMO-specific protease (SENP1) androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP). In situ hybridization studies indicated an elevation SENP1 message prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and lesions as compared normal epithelia....

The enzyme 5α-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), performs key functions in the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway. three isoenzymes of 5α-reductase identified date are encoded by different genes: SRD5A1, SRD5A2, and SRD5A3. In this study, we investigated mechanisms underlying regulation isoenzyme expression human prostate cells. We found that regulates mRNA level a cell type–specific manner, such occurs at transcriptional level, AR is necessary for...

A terahertz metamaterial waveguide (meta-waveguide) and a meta-waveguide-based lens-free imaging system are presented. The meta-waveguide not only inherits the low-loss transmission performance of but also breaks through diffraction limit under action metamaterial, achieving subwavelength focusing. focusing distance is far greater than Rayleigh length, thus enabling far-field scanning imaging. For verification, metal ring-based was fabricated by 3D printing cladding technology. Then, working...

Habitat and temporal variation can both influence microbial community dynamics, although their relative importance in reservoir buffer zones with complex hydrology regimes dramatically altered environments remains controversial. To elucidate this, we investigated spatiotemporal soil bacterial diversity ecological processes from the flooding period to dry (April June, respectively) using high-throughput 16S amplicon sequencing three habitats (abandoned cropland, grassland, woodland) within...

The WD repeat domain 77 (WDR77) protein plays a critical role in prostate development and dysregulation of WDR77 expression is associated with tumorigenesis. This study investigated the regulatory effects GATA3 E2F6 on gene expression. A negative correlation between GATA3/E2F6 at both mRNA levels was observed during Prostate cancer cells lost re-expression resulted dose-dependent reduction cell growth. Exogenous relieved growth inhibition by GATA3. directly interact promoter vitro vivo...

This paper studies quasi-synchronization in networked heterogeneous harmonic oscillators. By introducing a leader, two distributed synchronization protocols are first proposed for networks by utilizing continuous real-time information and aperiodic sampled-data information. Then, the sufficient conditions on established coupled with nonidentical It is found that each follower oscillator can converge to bounded region of leader adopting either continuous-time protocol or protocol. The upper...

This paper analyzes the consensus problem in heterogenous nonlinear multiagent systems. The systems not only have nonidentical dynamics for all agents, but also different network topologies position and velocity interactions. An asynchronous sampled-data control without any input delays is first proposed, information of each agent sampled at its own sampling instants need be other instants. Then, quasi-consensus proved by Lyapunov stability theory. When has nonuniform delays, sufficient...

Anaerobic digestion of furfural wastewater suffers from toxicity to microbes, which reduces its performance. The toxic effects may be eliminated by a sustainable way conductive material supplementation. In this study, the effect on anaerobic (0.5–4 g/L) was investigated adding 0–40 g/L granular activated carbon (GAC) in batch tests. innovation current study is explore potential direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) for first time degradation as sole substrate digestion. results...

The spatiotemporal pattern formation and transition driven by cross-diffusion of the Gray-Scott model are investigated for early warning tipping in this paper. mathematical analyses corresponding non-spatial spatial performed first, which enable us to have a comprehensive understanding. Then, linear stability analysis multiple scale method exhibit that is key mechanism evolution patterns. Through selecting coefficient as bifurcation parameter, amplitude equations can describe structural...

Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is a common mediator of cellular stress response signaling and often aberrantly expressed in prostate cancer. We report here that ATF3 can directly bind the androgen receptor (AR) consequently repress AR-mediated gene expression. The ATF3-AR interaction requires leucine zipper domain independently binds DNA-binding ligand-binding domains AR, prevents AR from binding to cis-acting elements required for expression androgen-dependent genes while...

This article investigates distributed coordinated tracking problems of networked heterogeneous systems. Based on asynchronous sampling information, sampled-data protocols are employed to realize leader-following synchronization and containment in In protocols, each node has different instants with other nodes only samples itself information at its own instants. By utilizing the input-delay approach Lyapunove-Krasovskii functional approach, some sufficient conditions for guaranteeing...
