The method is to discretizee independently the PDEs in different directions with symplectic schemes, so that the multisymplectic schemes can be constructed by concatenating those symplectic schemes. By this method, we can construct multisymplectic schemes, including some widely used schemes with an accuracy of any order. The numerical simulation on the collisions of solitons are also proposed to illustrate the efficiency of the multisymplectic schemes.展开更多

However, spectrum fragmentation issue becomes more serious in SDM-EONs compared with simple elastic optical networks(EONs) with single mode fiber or single core fiber. In this paper, multicore virtual concatenation(MCVC) scheme is first proposed considering inter-core crosstalk to solve the spectrum fragmentation issue in SDM-EONs. Simulation results show that the proposed MCVC scheme can achieve better performance compared with the baseline scheme, i.e., single-core virtual concatenation(SCVC) scheme, in terms of blocking probability and spectrum utilization.展开更多

文摘Among mammalian phylogenies,those characterized by rapid radiations are particularly problematic.The New World monkeys(NWMs,Platyrrhini)comprise 3 families and 7 subfamilies,which radiated within a relatively short time period.Accordingly,their phylogenetic relationships are still largely disputed.In the present study,56 nuclear non-coding loci,including 33 introns(INs)and 23 intergenic regions(IGs),from 20 NWM individuals representing 18 species were used to investigate phylogenetic relationships among families and subfamilies.Of the 56 loci,43 have not been used in previous NWM phylogenetics.We applied concatenation and coalescence tree-inference methods,and a recently proposed question-specific approach to address NWM phylogeny.Our results indicate incongruence between concatenation and coalescence methods for the IN and IG datasets.However,a consensus was reached with a single tree topology from all analyses of combined INs and IGs as well as all analyses of question-specific loci using both concatenation and coalescence methods,albeit with varying degrees of statistical support.In detail,our results indicated the sister-group relationships between the families Atelidae and Pitheciidae,and between the subfamilies Aotinae and Callithrichinae among Cebidae.Our study provides insights into the disputed phylogenetic relationships among NWM families and subfamilies from the perspective of multiple non-coding loci and various tree-inference approaches.However,the present phylogenetic framework needs further evaluation by adding more independent sequence data and a deeper taxonomic sampling.Overall,our work has important implications for phylogenetic studies dealing with rapid radiations.

文摘Species in genus Nannochloropsis,especially N.oceanica and N.gaditana,have been evolving as the model microalgae for both application and theory studies.The position effect of genome integration,the carrying capability limitation of integrative vectors and the instability of non-integrative vectors have hindered Nannochloropsis genetic modification with concatenate genes and extremely long DNA fragments.The molecular tools including genetic transformation,homologous recombination,gene edition,gene stacking and episome vectors for transient gene expression and diverse reporters and selection markers have been rapidly developing in Nannochloropsis species.The construction of animal and plant artificial chromosomes with“top down”strategy has set fine examples for the construction of Nannochloropsis artificial chromosomes(NannoACs).It seems that the methods and materials to set the foundation for constructing NannoACs are at hands.In this review,we outlined the current status of transgenes in Nannochloropsis species,summarized the limitations of both integrative and non-integrative vectors,and proposed a tentative approach to construct NannoACs by doubling and stabilizing the genome first,and then truncating the natural chromosomes.NannoACs once constructed will facilitate transferring the desired traits and concatenate genes into Nannochloropsis genetic backgrounds,thus contributing towards its genetic improvement and synthetic biological studies.
文摘Eight oligonucleotide fragments were designed with the aid of a computer and synthesizedaccording to the amino add sequcnce of human atrial natriuretic factor(ANF).By means of an-nealing and ligation,these fragments were assembled into an overlapping concatenator consisting oftwo ANF genes ligated by TGATG for termination and initiation of translation.Theconcatenator was omserted into plasmid pRC23 and the recobinant DNA was transformed into E.coli strain TAP106.Analysis by restriction enzyme mapping,hybridization and DNA sequenongshowed that the orientation and reading frame of the gene were correct.

文摘In most practical quantum mechanical systems,quantum noise due to decoherence is highly biased towards dephasing.The quantum state suffers from phase flip noise much more seriously than from the bit flip noise.In this work,we construct new families of asymmetric quantum concatenated codes(AQCCs)to deal with such biased quantum noise.Our construction is based on a novel concatenation scheme for constructing AQCCs with large asymmetries,in which classical tensor product codes and concatenated codes are utilized to correct phase flip noise and bit flip noise,respectively.We generalize the original concatenation scheme to a more general case for better correcting degenerate errors.Moreover,we focus on constructing nonbinary AQCCs that are highly degenerate.Compared to previous literatures,AQCCs constructed in this paper show much better parameter performance than existed ones.Furthermore,we design the specific encoding circuit of the AQCCs.It is shown that our codes can be encoded more efficiently than standard quantum codes.
文摘In this work,we study the performance of one shot and concatenated deleting machines(DMs).We show that the output state of one shot DMs are mixed inseparable,and do not violate Bell's inequality but can be used as a teleportation channel for all values of the input state parameters.On the other hand,we observe in the concatenation of different DMs that the output states are mixed inseparable and do not violate Bell's inequality,and cannot be used as a teleportation channel.Further,some important attributes such as inseparability,violation of Bell's inequality,and teleportation fidelity of the DMs remain unchanged under the order of concatenation.In this context of a teleportation channel,one shot DMs are useful when compared to concatenated DMs.
