    Abstract

    Radio frequency identification technology is one of the main technologies of Internet of Things (IoT). Through the transmission and reflection of wireless radio frequency signals, non-contact identification is realized, and multiple objects identification can be realized. However, when multiple tags communicate with a singleton reader simultaneously, collision will occur between the signals, which hinders the successful transmissions. To effectively avoid the tag collision problem and improve the reading performance of RFID systems, two advanced tag identification algorithms namely Adaptive M-ary tree slotted Aloha (AMTS) based on the characteristics of Aloha-based and Query tree-based algorithms are proposed.

    Abstract Atherosclerosis is initiated when lipoproteins are trapped by proteoglycans in the arterial intima. Macrophages play a vital role in this disease, especially in the formation of foam cells and the regulation of pro-inflammatory responses. They also participate in plaque stabilization through the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases. Studies have reported the role of ADAMTS proteases in osteoarthritis and atherosclerotic lesions. In the present study, we have studied the effect of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) on the expression of ADAMTS-5 in the macrophage cell line THP-1. The results show that the mRNA and protein expression levels of ADAMTS-5 were More >
