The results are as follows： exogenous NO could increase the growth rate of marine algae and raise the biomass remarkably under iron-deficient conditions. But it was a complicated process that the phytoplankton growth was influenced by NO and iron, which was controlled by the NO concentration, the nutrition level of the culture medium and the iron concentration, etc. Meanwhile, the iron concentration in the medium also has a direct influence on the growth and NO release capacity of the algae. Therefore, the effects of NO and iron on the growth of marine phytoplankton were mutual.展开更多

The massive MIMO antenna array of the millimeter wave (mm-wave) is recognized as a key enabler because of its high spectral efficiency. The higher the frequencies of the RF signal, the lower the distance it travels in free space caused by path loss, and it is more easily absorbed by obstacles, which are needed for high-gain transmitters. The advantage of the physical properties of higher New Radio (NR) frequencies is that 5G can utilize more spectrum, more antennas, and higher-order modulation schemes. The massive antennas and radio frequency chains improve the implementation of the cost of 5G wireless communication systems and result in an intense mutual coupling effect among antennas because of the limited space for deploying antennas. The upper bound of the effective capacity is derived for 5G multimedia massive MIMO communication systems. Two antennas that receive diversity gain models, the mutual coupling matrix, and the spacing antenna distance are built and analyzed. The impacts and affections of the antenna spacing the number of antennas, the quality-of-service (QoS) statistical exponent, and the number of independent incident directions on the upper effective capacity of 5G multimedia massive MIMO communication systems are analyzed. It is shown that for MIMO systems with compact transmit antenna arrays, the mutual coupling seriously degrades system capacity to mitigate the capacity degradation. In case of improvement in the mutual coupling by 99%, the system performance is kept stationary and enhances system capacity. However, the improvement of the mutual coupling is still about 87.5% today, which means the mutual coupling should be considered in 5G massive MIMO networks.展开更多

We focus on obligate mutualism, where each species cannot survive without the other. From a theoretical aspect, obligate mutualism is similar to the relationship between male and female. Empirical data indicate a sex-ratio selection: male and female have a specific ratio in their population sizes. In the present paper, we apply lattice model to obligate mutualism between two species, and present a theory of “ratio selection” which is a generalization of sex-ratio selection. Computer simulations are carried out by two methods: local and global interactions. In the former, interactions occur between neighbouring cells, while in the latter they occur between any pair of cells. Simulations in both interactions show the so-called Allee effect: both species can survive, when both densities are large in some extent. However, we find a large difference between local and global simulations. In the case of local interaction, restriction for survival is found to be extremely severe compared to global interaction. Both species require a proper ratio for their sustainability. This result leads to the theory of ratio selection: when interaction occurs locally, the ratio of both species is uniquely determined. We discuss that the ratio selection explains not only the evolution of endosymbionts from free-living ancestors but also the evolution from endosymbionts to organelles.展开更多
