Ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites of great medical and veterinary significance that can transmit bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses, and cause a variety of human and animal diseases worldwide. In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Rhipicephalus sanguineus from China (RSC) and compared with that of R. sanguineus from USA (RSU). Nucleotide sequence di...

Cell adhesion and migration are dynamic processes requiring the coordinated action of multiple signaling pathways, but the mechanisms underlying signal integration have remained elusive. Drosophila embryonic dorsal closure (DC) requires both integrin function and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling for opposed epithelial sheets to migrate, meet, and suture. Here, we show that PINCH, a p...

As a promising topic of research, Vehicular Cloud (VC) incorporates cloud computing and ad-hoc vehicular network (VANET). In VC, supplier vehicles provide their services to consumer in real-time. These have significant impact on the applications internet access, storage data. Due high-speed mobility vehicles, users need mechanism discover vicinity. Besides this, quality service varies from one ...

With the explosive growth of vehicle applications, vehicular networks based on millimeter wave (mmWave) bands have attracted interests from both academia and industry. mmWave communications are able to utilize huge available bandwidth provide multiple Gbps transmission rates among vehicles. In this paper, we address content distribution scheduling problem in networks. It has been challenging fo...

Network communication is crucial for Infrastructure-Vehicle Cooperative Autonomous Driving (IVCAD), which can help to improve both driving safety and efficiency. Existing IVCAD systems either use RoadSide Units (RSUs) deployed sparsely in critical locations extend the on-board sensing, or RSUs densely a limited area provide sensing decision-making vehicles. For scenarios, numbers of vehicles ar...

At present, there is still a lack of relevant theoretical guidance on the deployment roadside RSU expressways. In face coexistence V2V and V2I communication in future, adjustment after penetration intelligent vehicles not considered. Therefore, this paper proposes income model consideration influence communication. Based optimal nodes, it achieves optimization range determines spacing through f...

Intermittently connected vehicular networks (ICVNs) consist of vehicles moving on roads and stationary roadside units (RSUs) deployed along roads. In ICVNs, the long distances between RSUs large volume content lead to download delays high traffic overhead backhaul links. Fortunately, improved storage size enhanced mobility prediction afford opportunities ameliorate these problems by proactively...

     Roads have an important role in plants dispersal on different scales. Various plant species settle on roadsides, but some of them can enter the natural environments and threaten their biodiversity. Worldwide knowledge of roadside flora is necessary for local and global management of natural areas. Accordingly, the roadside flora of Northern Khorasan rangelands was studied along the 600 km ...

Industrial activities and high traffic density are the most important heavy metal pollution sources in urban areas. Roadside dust created by atmospheric deposition can be one of the best indicators for heavy metal contamination levels. The present study reports the spatial distribution patterns and degree of heavy metal pollution (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, and As) in 50 roadside dust samples from urb...

Real-time monitoring of traffic density, road congestion, public transportation, and parking availability are key to realizing the vision of a smarter city and, with the advent of vehicular networking technologies such as IEEE 802.11p and WAVE, this information can now be gathered directly from the vehicles in an urban area. To act as a backbone to the network of moving vehicles, collecting, ag...
