Recent Advances in Fluorescent Labeling Techniques for Fluorescence Microscopy

Tremendous progress in recent computer-controlled systems for fluorescence and laser-confocal microscopy has provided us with powerful tools to visualize and analyze molecular events in the cells. Various fluorescent staining and labeling techniques have also been developed to be used with these powerful instruments. Fluorescent proteins such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) allow us to directly label particular proteins of interest in living cells. This technique has been extended over a large area of cell biology, and a variety of fluorescent protein-derived techniques have been developed to visualize the functions and conditions of the molecules within living cells. In this review, we summarize the techniques for fluorescent staining and labeling for recent fluorescence microscopy

Near-optimal stochastic MIMO signal detection with a mixture of t-distribution prior

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems will play a crucial role in future wireless communication, but improving their signal detection performance to increase transmission efficiency remains a challenge. To address this issue, we propose extending the discrete signal detection problem in MIMO systems to a continuous one and applying the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method, an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. In our previous studies, we have used a mixture of normal distributions for the prior distribution. In this study, we propose using a mixture of t-distributions, which further improves detection performance. Based on our theoretical analysis and computer simulations, the proposed method can achieve near-optimal signal detection with polynomial computational complexity. This high-performance and practical MIMO signal detection could contribute to the development of the 6th-generation mobile network.Comment: to be published in the 2023 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM

Non-decoupling Effects of Heavy Particles in Triple Gauge Boson Vertices

Non-decoupling effects of heavy particles present in beyond-the-standard models are studied for the triple gauge boson vertices $\gamma W^+W^-$ and $Z^0W^+W^-$. We show from a general argument that the non-decoupling effects are described by four independent parameters, in comparison with the three parameters $S$, $T$ and $U$ in the oblique corrections. These four parameters of the effective triple gauge boson vertices are computed in two beyond-the-standard models. We also study the relation of the four parameters to the $S$, $T$, $U$ parameters, relying on an operator analysis.Comment: 13 pages, plain tex using PHYZZX macropackag

S, T, U parameters in SU(3)C×SU(3)L×U(1)SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1) model with right-handed neutrinos

The S, T, U parameters in the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)$ model with right -handed neutrinos are calculated. Explicit expressions for the oblique and Z - Z' mixing contributions are obtained. We show that the bilepton oblique contributions to S and T parameters are bounded : $- 0.085 \stackrel{<}{\sim} S \stackrel{<}{\sim} 0.05$ and $- 0.001 \stackrel{<}{\sim} T \stackrel{<}{\sim} 0.08$. The Z - Z' mixing contribution is positive and above 10%, but it will increase fastly with the higher Z' mass. %can be negative. The consequent mass splitting of the bilepton is derived and to be 15%. The limit on the mass of the neutral bilepton in this model is obtained.Comment: Latex, axodraw.sty used, 3 figures, 18 page
