The Institute of Food Technologists has issued this Scientific Status Summary to provide readers with a tutorial on biofilms, their purposeful mechanism of interaction (quorum sensing), and recent findings on how to inhibit their formation.

Keeping a pace with Quorum sensing, analyzing communication shows the close co-evolution of fungi with organisms present in their environment giving insights into multispecies communication. Subsequently, many examples of cell density dependent regulation by extracellular factors have been found in diverse microorganisms. The widespread incidence of diverse quorum-sensing systems strongly sugge...

Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) images are often used for target classification and recognition applications. However, conventional 2D images do not provide the height information about the scattering centers. In this paper, an interferometric ISAR imaging method based on compressive sensing (CS) is proposed that is able to estimate the scatterering centres heights. The interferometric ...

in this paper, an interference management for multi-beam satellite network to enhance spectral efficiency is studied. first, a two-satellite for future generation satellite network using cognitive radio technology is provided.this network is composed of a secondary satellite and aprimary satellite where the primary satellite system does not suffer from severe destructive interferences coming fr...

This work presents ZnO nanorods coated multimode optical fiber sensing behavior in response to ethanol solution. The sensor operates based on modulation of light intensity which arises from manipulation of light interaction with the ambient environment in sensing region. For this purpose, two steps are experimentally applied here; etching and then coating fiber with ZnO nanorods to provide stro...

Many biological phenomena about quorum sensing in bacteria are driven by experimentally and mathematically in the last few decades. Symbiosis, virulence etc. are the major area in which these theoretical models work well. But no specific origin was established so far which can explain quorum sensing itself. This weakly nonlocal fluid dynamical model of bacterial communication system introduces ...
