To reduce the implementation complexity of the Vertical Bell Labs layered space-time (V-BLAST) systems with respect to the zero-forcing (ZF) criterion, a computationally efficient recursive algorithm is proposed. A fast implementation of the proposed algorithm is developed and its complexity is analyzed in detail. The proposed algorithm matches the ZF-OSIC detection well, and its three significant advantages can be demonstrated by analyses and simulations. Firstly, its speedups over the conventional ZF-OSIC with norm-based ordering, the original fast recursive algorithm (FRA) and the fastest known algorithm (FKA) in the number of flops are 1.58, 2.33 and 1.22, respectively. Secondly, a much simpler implementation than FRA and FKA can be expected. Finally, the storage requirements are lower than those of FRA and FKA. These advantages make the proposed algorithm more efficient and practical.

In this paper, we present a closed-form approximation of the average sum rate of zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming (BF) with semi-orthogonal user selection (SUS). We first derive the survival probability associated with the SUS that absolute square of the channel correlation between two users is less than the orthogonalization level threshold (OLT).With this result, each distribution for the number of surviving users at each iteration of the SUS and the number of streams for transmission is calculated. Secondly, the received signal power of ZF-BF is represented as a function of the elements of the upper triangular matrix from QR decomposition of the channel matrix. Thirdly, we approximate the received signal power of ZF-BF with the SUS as the maximum of scaled chisquare random variables where the scaling factor is approximated as a function of both OLT and the number of users in the system. Putting all the above derivations and order statistics together, the approximated ergodic sum rate of ZF-BF with the SUS is shown in a closed form. The simulation results verify that the approximation tightly matches with the sample average for any OLT and even for a small number of users.

Genistein, a inhibitor of the progression of G$_{1}$ and G$_{2}$ phase of the mammalian cell cycle, was discovered through a unique screening system, in which effects of microbial metabolites on the cycle progression of the cultured mouse mammalian carcinoma cell were monitored by flow cytometry. The inhibitor was extracted from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. ZF10 with ethyl acetate, and purified by silica gel column chromatography and HPLC.

Zero Forcing (ZF) 검파 결과는 신호 대 잡음 환경이 양호한 경우 약 80% 이상이 Maximum Likelihood (ML) 검파 결과와 일치한다. 간단한 검증기를 통해 ZF 검파 결과가 ML 검파 결과와 일치하는지 알 수 있다면 검증 결과에 따라 복잡한 ML 검파 과정이나 별도의 검색 과정을 생략할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) 시스템에서 ZF 검파 결과에 대한 검증 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 검증 방식은 ZF 검파 결과를 이용하여 MIMO 신호를 single input multiple output (SIMO) 신호로 변환한 후 검파를 수행하면 안테나 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있고 잡음 분산이 줄어드는 효과를 이용하였다. 제안된 검증기는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 신호 대 잡음이 양호한 경우 80%이상의 정확한 true 판정 확률을 얻었으며 이때 false 판정 확률은 $10^{-4}$이하를 보였다.

Starting from a collection V as a model which satisfies the axioms of NBG, we call the elements of V as sets and the subcollections of V as classes. We reconstruct the G$\ddot{o}$del's proof of the consistency of GCH and AC with the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory by using Mostowski-Shepherdson mapping theorem, reflection principles in Tarski-Vaught theorem and Montague-Levy theorem and the fact that NBG is a conservative extension of ZF.

Lattice-reduction (LR) techniques have been developed for signal detection in spatial multiplexing multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems to obtain the largest diversity gain. Thus, an LR-assisted zero-forcing (ZF) receiver can achieve the maximum diversity gain in spatial multiplexing MIMO systems. In this paper, a simplified analysis of the achievable diversity gain is presented by fitting the channel coefficients lattice-reduced by a complex Lenstra-Lenstra-$Lov{\acute{a}}z$ (LLL) algorithm into approximated Gaussian random variables. It will be shown that the maximum diversity gain corresponding to two times the number of receive antennas can be achieved by the LR-based ZF detector. In addition, the approximated bit error rate (BER) expression is also derived. Finally, the analytical BER performance is comparatively studied with the simulated results.

A method for sex determination of pigs was examined using polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Sex determining region Y(SRY) gene encoded on Y chromosome plays a key role for primary male development. Zinc finger X-Y(ZFX-ZFY) gene, one of the X-V homology gene group was found on the X and Y chromosomes, respectively, We tested for molecular sexing by amplification patterns of SRY and ZF genes. Genomic DNAs from various resources including porcine hairs and semen collected from domestic pig breeds and native pigs was used for PCR assay of each gene. The amplified products for porcine SRY gene were yielded only in males but not in females. On the other hand, two differential patterns were observed in amplification of ZF gene reflecting the chromosomal dimorphism by a length polymorphism between X and Y chromosomes. Of both, a common band was detected in all individuals tested so that this band might be amplified from ZFX gene as a PCR template, but another is specific for males indicated that from ZFY. The result of PCR assay provides identical information to that from investigation of phenotypic genders of the pigs tested. We suggest that this PCR strategy to determine porcine sexes using comparison of the amplification patterns of the SRY gene specific for Y chromosome and the dimorphic ZF gene between X and Y chromosomes may be a rapid and precise method for discrimination of two sexes and applied to DNA analysis of small samples such as embryonic blastomere, semen, and hairs.

This study was performed to evaluate proximate composition and antioxidant activity in extracts from Zizyphus jujuba fruits (ZF), leaves (ZL), mixture of them (ZM) and fermented mixture (FZM) for development medicated food. The contents of total carbohydrate and free sugar in ZF were 82.37 and 64.18 g/100 g, highest contents among all the extracts. The contents of free sugar in ZL was 19.39 g/100 g, but FZM was 10.01 g/100 g lower than ZL. The concentrations of total polyphenolic compounds in 1 mg/$m{\ell}$ concentration were 90.96 ${\mu}g$/mg for ZL, 22.39 ${\mu}g$/mg for ZF, 83.67 ${\mu}g$/mg for ZM, 70.92 ${\mu}g$/mg for FZM. DPPH radical scavenging activity at 1 mg/$m{\ell}$ concentration was 51.07% for BHT, 46.32% for ZL, 39.54% for ZM, 34.68% for FZM. ZF did not express activity. SOD like activity at 1 mg/$m{\ell}$ concentration was 67.16% for BHT, 75.33% for ZL, 17.42% for ZF, 68.22% for ZM, 59.81% for FZM. The antioxidant activity of the fruits of Z. jujuba (ZF) prominently lower than that of the leaves (ZL), but a mixture of leaves and fruits enhanced the antioxidant activity. And fermentation is not enhanced the antioxidant activity of extracts Z. jujuba

This paper proposes a prior maximum likelihood (ML) detection verifier which has an ability to verify if the zero forcing (ZF) detection results are identical to the ML detection results. Since more than 90% of ZF detection results are identical to ML detection results, the proposed verifier makes it possible to omit the computationally complex ML detection in 90% cases of MIMO signal detections. The proposed verifier is designed by using the diversity gain obtained from converting MIMO signal into single input multiple output (SIMO) signals. In the proposed method, single input multiple output (SIMO) signals for each transmit antenna are separated from MIMO signals after the MIMO signals are detected by ZF method. Computer simulations show that the true alarm probability of the proposed verifier is more than 80% and the false alarm probability is less than $10^{-4}$.

In this paper, we propose transceiver design strategies for the two-cell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interfering broadcast channel where inter-cell interference (ICI) exists in addition to inter-user interference (IUI). We first formulate the generalized zero-forcing interference alignment (ZF-IA) method based on the alignment of IUI and ICI in multi-dimensional subspace. We then devise a minimum weighted-mean-square-error (WMSE) method based on "regularizing" the precoders and decoders of the generalized ZF-IA scheme. In contrast to the existing weighted-sum-rate-maximizing transceiver, our method does not require an iterative calculation of the optimal weights. Because of this, the proposed scheme, while not designed specially to maximize the sum-rate, is computationally efficient and achieves a faster convergence compared to the known weighed-sum-rate maximizing scheme. Through analysis and simulation, we show the effectiveness of the proposed regularized ZF-IA scheme.
