    AbstractThis system is composed of a 8-bits 51 kernel MCU, various security alarm, many household appliances control component. Host and slave, operators and controlled by popular GSM network and the 315MHz mature technique, communication frequency wireless network using the phone key-press mode, mutual communication operation mode and SMS operating mode, wireless remote operating mode of the three ways of manipulating the house appliances. Once in place, the system will alert sirens alarm, remote phone local language alarm 2 ways and alarm to subdue the illegal invasion and inform residents to take prompt emergency response thus maximum possible to reduce unnecessary losses. Because the system completely using wireless communication mode, makes the system is convenient in installation; Friendly man-machine interface that allows operation is simple; using universal communication protocol, making the system in expanding peripherals with relative ease. This design in safety, humanity, generality, practical wait for a respect to have breakthrough innovation

    Crowdsourcing e-market provides a lot of advantages to solve problems of organizations, companies and individuals. As a result, it’s important to develop an understanding of online reference group and participation behavior of crowd. The authors argue that reference group can obtain trustworthiness in the eyes of the crowd, such as integrity trustworthiness and ability trustworthiness. The trustworthiness of online reference group has influence on the participation behaviors of crowd. The authors test these ideas by examining the crowdsoucing process on zhubajie e-market in March 2012. When the perceived uncertainty is high, the effect of integrity trustworthiness on participation behavior is greater than ability trustworthiness. When the perceived uncertainty is low, the effect of ability trustworthiness on participation behavior is greater than integrity trustworthiness

    A Fine Velocity and Strain Rate Field of Present-Day Crustal Motion of the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau Inverted Jointly by InSAR and GPS

    Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data from 6 Envisat ASAR descending tracks; spanning the 2003⁻2010 period; was used to measure interseismic strain accumulation across the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Mean line-of-sight (LOS) ratemaps are computed by stacking atmospheric-corrected and orbital-corrected interferograms. The ratemaps from one track with different atmospheric-corrected results or two parallel; partially overlapping tracks; show a consistent pattern of left-lateral motion across the fault; which demonstrates the MERIS and ECMWF atmospheric correction works satisfactorily for small stain measurement of this region; even with a limited number of interferograms. By combining the measurements of InSAR and GPS; a fine crustal deformation velocity and strain rate field was estimated on discrete points with irregular density depending on the fault location; which revealed that the present-day slip rate on the Haiyuan fault system varies little from west to east. A change (2⁻3 mm/year) in line-of-sight (LOS) deformation rate across the fault is observed from the Jinqianghe segment to its eastern end. Inversion from the cross-fault InSAR profiles gave a shallow locking depth of 3⁻6 km on the main rupture of the 1920 earthquake. We therefore infer that the middle-lower part of the seismogenic layer on the 1920 rupture is not yet fully locked since the 1920 large earthquake. Benefit from high spatial resolution InSAR data; a low strain accumulation zone with high strain rates on its two ends was detected; which corresponds to the creeping segment; i.e., the Laohushan fault segment. Contrary to the previous knowledge of squeezing structure; an abnormal tension zone is disclosed from the direction map of principal stress; which is consistent with the recent geological study. The distribution of principal stress also showed that the expanding frontier of the northeastern plateau has crossed the Liupan Shan fault zone; even arrived at the northeast area of the Xiaoguan Shan. This result agrees with the deep seismic reflection profile

    Causal association between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and cutaneous melanoma: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study

    BackgroundDespite numerous observational studies on the association between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and cutaneous melanoma, causal inferences remain ambiguous due to confounding and reverse causality. This study aimed to elucidate the causal relationship between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and melanoma incidence using Mendelian randomization (MR).MethodsA two-sample MR was conducted using genetic variants associated with serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels as instrumental variables. Summary statistics for these variants were derived from genome-wide association studies, and those for melanoma risk were obtained from a comprehensive melanoma case-control study. Robustness of the results was assessed through sensitivity analyses, including the “leave-one-out” approach and tests for potential pleiotropy.ResultsThe MR analysis provided substantial evidence of a positive causal relationship between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and the incidence of cutaneous melanoma, suggesting that each unit increase in serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels corresponds with an increased risk of melanoma. Tests for pleiotropy showed minimal effects, and the sensitivity analysis confirmed no disproportionate influence by any individual single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).ConclusionThe findings indicated a potentially causal positive association between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and melanoma risk, challenging traditional beliefs about vitamin D’s role in melanoma. This emphasizes the need for a balanced and personalized approach to vitamin D supplementation and sun exposure, particularly in high-risk populations. These results should be interpreted with caution due to potential unrecognized pleiotropy and confounding factors. Future research should focus on validating these findings in diverse populations and exploring underlying biological mechanisms

    Perpendicular in-plane negative magnetoresistance in ZrTe5

    The unique band structure in topological materials frequently results in unusual magneto-transport phenomena, one of which is in-plane longitudinal negative magnetoresistance (NMR) with the magnetic field aligned parallel to the electrical current direction. This NMR is widely considered as a hallmark of chiral anomaly in topological materials. Here we report the observation of in-plane NMR in the topological material ZrTe5 when the in-plane magnetic field is both parallel and perpendicular to the current direction, revealing an unusual case of quantum transport beyond the chiral anomaly. We find that a general theoretical model, which considers the combined effect of Berry curvature and orbital moment, can quantitatively explain this in-plane NMR. Our results provide new insights into the understanding of in-plane NMR in topological materials
