Analyse des signaux multicomposante à modulation de fréquence linéaire par la transformation de Teager-Huang-Hough
Full text linkA novel detection approach of linear FM (LFM) signals, with single or multiple components, in the time-frequency plane of Teager-Huang (TH) transform is presented. The detection scheme that combines TH transform and Hough transform is referred to as Teager-Huang-Hough (THH) transform. The input signal is mapped into the time-frequency plane by using TH transform followed by the application of Hough transform to recognize time-frequency components. LFM components are detected and their parameters are estimated from peaks and their locations in the Hough space. Advantages of THH transform over Hough transform of Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) are: 1) cross-terms free detection and estimation, and 2) good time and frequency resolutions. No assumptions are made about the number of components of the LFM signals and their models. THH transform is illustrated on multicomponent LFM signals in free and noisy environments and the results compared with WVD-Hough and pseudo-WVD-Hough transforms

Male. Unknown. Host. An unidentified Diaspididae (Hemiptera) scale in the leaf sheath of bamboo (Figs 57–58). Distribution. China (Guangxi). Etymology. The new species name is derived from the Latin, leptocerus = slender horn. Diagnosis. Coccobius leptocerus is close to C. odonaspidis (Tachikawa 1964), which was collected from the white bamboo scale Odonaspis secreta Cockerell on bamboo in Japan, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following: body colour yellow to brownish yellow, except metasoma with T 1 –T 4 laterally and T 5 mostly brown to dark brown; antennal radicle and base of F 1 dark brown; scape, pedicel, remainder of F 1, F 2 pale yellow; F 3 and clava pale yellow to brownish yellow; mandible with three distinct, pointed teeth; and F 1 subequal in length to (1.06 × as long as) F 2, and F 2 longer than F 3. In C. odonaspidis the head and mesosoma are shining black, the metasoma is pale yellow with sharply defined black bands on either side from the base to the spiracles; the antennal radicle, scape and clava are black (lighter towards the tips), F 1 is black, and the remainder of the antennae is pale yellowish white; the mandible has two teeth and a truncation; and F 1 is distinctly longer than F 2 and F 2 is subequal in length to F 3. In the key to Chinese species given by Wang et al. (2014), C. leptocerus keys to couplet 5, but can be readily distinguished from all other Chinese species by the following: the mandible with three distinct, pointed teeth; antennal funicle segments being distinctly longer and slender, especially F 1 and F 2, as well as the different body colour and different antennal colour pattern.Published as part of Wang, Zhu-Hong, Huang, Jian & Polaszek, Andrew, 2014, Three new species of Coccobius Ratzeburg (Hymenoptera, Aphelinidae) and redescription of C. abdominis Huang and C. furviflagellatus Huang from China, pp. 460-472 in Zootaxa 3774 (5) on pages 469-471, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3774.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/22456

An iterative algorithm for solving a finite-dimensional linear operator equation T(x)=f with applications
No full textAbstractThis paper proposes an iterative algorithm for solving a general finite-dimensional linear operator equation T(x)=f and demonstrates that it will get the exact solution within a finite number of iteration steps. This algorithm unifies all the iterative methods in Huang (2008) [3], Peng (2005) [7] and Peng and Peng (2006) [8] and provides an iterative method for solving an inverse problem related to Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian matrices [2,12]
DNA fusion gene vaccination mobilizes effective anti-leukemic cytotoxic T lymphocytes from a tolerized repertoire
No full textThe majority of known human tumor-associated antigens derive from non-mutated self proteins. T cell tolerance, essential to prevent autoimmunity, must therefore be cautiously circumvented to generate cytotoxic T cell responses against these targets. Our strategy uses DNA fusion vaccines to activate high levels of peptide-specific CTL. Key foreign sequences from tetanus toxin activate tolerance-breaking CD4+ T cell help. Candidate MHC class Ibinding tumor peptide sequences are fused to the C terminus for optimal processing and presentation. To model performance against a leukemia-associated antigen in a tolerized setting, we constructed a fusion vaccine encoding an immunodominant CTL epitopederived from Friend murine leukemia virus gag protein (FMuLVgag) and vaccinated tolerant FMuLVgag-transgenic (gag-Tg) mice. Vaccination with the construct induced epitopespecificIFN-c-producing CD8+ T cells in normal and gag-Tg mice. The frequency and avidity of activated cells were reduced in gag-Tg mice, and no autoimmune injury resulted. However, these CD8+ T cells did exhibit gag-specific cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Also, epitope-specific CTL killed FBL-3 leukemia cells expressing endogenous FMuLVgag antigen and protected against leukemia challenge in vivo. These results demonstrate a simple strategy to engage anti-microbial T cell help to activate epitope-specific polyclonal CD8+ T cell responses from a residual tolerized repertoire
