Through translations of idioms, we can easily find the integration and differences between English and Chinese idioms. In the process of translating, translators have to be acutely aware of not only the language differences, but also the associations and differences between the cultural background of two languages. By studying bilingual material after the translation is completed, re-comprehension of different cultures and their features can be acquired and it can feed back to our translation missions and foreign exchange activities. This paper aims to analyze the differences and integration of intercultural communication through examples of several idioms translation to illustrate the importance of intercultural communication view in translating and give translators a new prospective for translation strategies.展开更多

文摘V2X communication enables vehicles to share real-time traffic and road-condition data,but binding messages to persistent identifiers enables location tracking.Furthermore,since forged reports from malicious vehicles can distort trust decisions and threaten road safety,privacy-preserving trust management is essential.Lu et al.previously presented BARS,an anonymous reputation mechanism founded on blockchain technology to establish a privacy-preserving trust architecture for V2X communication.In this system,reputation certificates without a vehicle identifier ensure anonymity,while two authorities jointly manage certificate issuance and reputation updates.However,the centralized certificate updates introduce scalability limitations,and the authorities can trace vehicle behavioral information,which threatens privacy guarantees.Several subsequent systems derived from BARS still rely on centralized certificate management and are subject to authority-side privacy leakage.As a result,a key challenge in this line of research remains unresolved:how to decentralize the certificate-update process while preserving privacy against the authorities in privacy-preservingV2X trustmanagement.In this paper,we propose a distributed anonymous reputation system for V2X communication,based on an anonymous reputation system for crowdsensing.In our proposed system for V2X communication,the server is distributed to a certificate authority(CA)and roadside units(RSUs).Each vehicle shows the reputation level to the nearest RSU at the beginning of each time interval,and registers a short-time public key.In the interval,the messages from the vehicle are authenticated under the public key and are scored.At the end of the interval,the nearest RSU updates the certificate anonymously.Our solution decentralizes the certificate-update process by assigning each update to the nearest RSU.A zero-knowledge-proof-based show protocol removes the need for any central authority to handle vehicle certificates and thus prevents the authorities from tracing vehicle activities.Compared with BARS,where centralized authorities must update the reputation certificates of many vehicles and may incur communication and processing delays,our system performs each update locally at the nearest RSUonce per interval.The required interaction consists only of a fewkilobytes of communication and a zero-knowledge proof that is almost fully precomputed on the vehicle side,while the RSU-side processing is estimated to take about 40 ms based on timingmeasurements of the underlying cryptographic operations.This distributed updatemodel avoids the centralized bottleneck of BARS and simultaneously removes the privacy risk arising from authority collusion.

文摘Osteogenesis is the process of bone formation mediated by the osteoblasts,participating in various bone-related physiological processes including bone development,bone homeostasis and fracture healing.It exhibits temporal and spatial interconnectivity with angiogenesis,constructed by multiple forms of cell communication occurring between bone and vascular endothelial cells.Molecular regulation among different cell types is crucial for coordinating osteogenesis and angiogenesis to facilitate bone remodeling,fracture healing,and other bone-related processes.The transmission of signaling molecules and the activation of their corresponding signal pathways are indispensable for various forms of cell communication.This communication acts as a“bridge”in coupling osteogenesis to angiogenesis.This article reviews the modes and processes of cell communication in osteogenesisangiogenesis coupling over the past decade,mainly focusing on interactions among bone-related cells and vascular endothelial cells to provide insights into the mechanism of cell communication of osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling in different bone-related contexts.Moreover,clinical relevance and applications are also introduced in this review.
文摘The rapid evolution of Fifth-Generation(5G)networks and the strategic development of Sixth-Generation(6G)technologies have significantly advanced the implementation of air-ground integrated networks with seamless coverage.Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs),serving as high-mobility aerial platforms,are extensively utilized to enhance coverage in long-distance emergency communication scenarios.The resource-constrained communication environments in emergencies by classifying UAVs into swarm UAVs and relay UAVs as aerial communication nodes is inversitgated.A horizontal deployment strategy for swarm UAVs is formulated through K-means clustering algorithm optimization,while a vertical deployment scheme is established using convex optimization methods.The minimum-path trajectory planning for relay UAVs is optimized via the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm,enhancing communication reliability between UAV swarms and terrestrial base stations.A three-dimensional heterogeneous network architecture is realized by modeling spatial multi-hop relay links.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed joint UAV relay optimization framework outperforms conventional algorithms in both coverage performance and relay capability during video stream transmission,achieving significant improvements in coverage enhancement and relay efficiency.This work provides technical foundations for constructing high-reliability air-ground cooperative systems in emergency communications.

文摘Wireless communication-enabled Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control(CACC)is expected to improve the safety and traffic capacity of vehicle platoons.Existing CACC considers a conventional communication delay with fixed Vehicular Communication Network(VCN)topologies.However,when the network is under attack,the communication delay may be much higher,and the stability of the system may not be guaranteed.This paper proposes a novel communication Delay Aware CACC with Dynamic Network Topologies(DADNT).The main idea is that for various communication delays,in order to maximize the traffic capacity while guaranteeing stability and minimizing the following error,the CACC should dynamically adjust the VCN network topology to achieve the minimum inter-vehicle spacing.To this end,a multi-objective optimization problem is formulated,and a 3-step Divide-And-Conquer sub-optimal solution(3DAC)is proposed.Simulation results show that with 3DAC,the proposed DADNT with CACC can reduce the inter-vehicle spacing by 5%,10%,and 14%,respectively,compared with the traditional CACC with fixed one-vehicle,two-vehicle,and three-vehicle look-ahead network topologies,thereby improving the traffic efficiency.

文摘This paper presents a design method to implement an antenna array characterized by ultra-wide beam coverage,low profile,and low Sidelobe Level(SLL)for the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)air-to-ground communication.The array consists of ten broadside-radiating,ultrawide-beamwidth elements that are cascaded by a central-symmetry series-fed network with tapered currents following Dolph-Chebyshev distribution to provide low SLL.First,an innovative design of end-fire Huygens source antenna that is compatible with metal ground is presented.A low-profile,half-mode Microstrip Patch Antenna(MPA)is utilized to serve as the magnetic dipole and a monopole is utilized to serves as the electric dipole,constructing the compact,end-fire,grounded Huygens source antenna.Then,two opposite-oriented end-fire Huygens source antennas are seamlessly integrated into a single antenna element in the form of monopole-loaded MPA to accomplish the ultrawide,broadside-radiating beam.Particular consideration has been applied into the design of series-fed network as well as antenna element to compensate the adverse coupling effects between elements on the radiation performance.Experiment indicates an ultrawide Half-Power Beamwidth(HPBW)of 161°and a low SLL of-25 dB with a high gain of 12 d Bi under a single-layer configuration.The concurrent ultrawide beamwidth and low SLL make it particularly attractive for applications of UAV air-to-ground communication.
文摘With the boom in maritime activities,the need for highly reliable maritime communication is becoming urgent,which is an important component of 5G/6G communication networks.However,the bandwidth reuse characteristic of 5G/6G networks will inevitably lead to severe interference,resulting in degradation in the communication performance of maritime users.In this paper,we propose a safe deep reinforcement learning based interference coordination scheme to jointly optimize the power control and bandwidth allocation in maritime communication systems,and exploit the quality-of-service requirements of users as the risk value references to evaluate the communication policies.In particular,this scheme designs a deep neural network to select the communication policies through the evaluation network and update the parameters using the target network,which improves the communication performance and speeds up the convergence rate.Moreover,the Nash equilibrium of the interference coordination game and the computational complexity of the proposed scheme are analyzed.Simulation and experimental results verify the performance gain of the proposed scheme compared with benchmarks.
