A Turbo-Coded Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Wide-Band Speech Transceiver

, 2000
Turbo-coded burst-by-burst adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (AOFDM) wide-band speech transceivers are proposed. A constant throughput adaptive OFDM transceiver was designed and benchmarked against a time-variant rate scheme.

Dual‐Responsive Hydrogels Integrate Bioelectrical Stimulation and Piezo‐Photocatalysis for Regenerative Treatment of Infected Wounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wireless, dual‐responsive hydrogel (PVA/(PVDF‐TrFE)/BiOClBr@PDA) is developed to promote efficient regeneration of infected wounds by integrating piezoelectric stimulation with piezo‐photocatalytic pathways. Under simultaneous light and ultrasonic stimulation, the hydrogel generates therapeutic electrical cues and reactive oxygen species, disrupting ...

Similarity‐Enhanced Representation Learning of Non‐Canonical Amino Acids for Therapeutic Peptide Modeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Non‐canonical amino acids (ncAAs) enhance peptide therapeutics but remain difficult to model computationally. SinCAA, a similarity‐enhanced pretraining framework, jointly optimizes contrastive learning guided by a novel conformational similarity metric with masked node reconstruction, capturing both functional relationships and chemical identity of ...
