Summary: This study constructs an evaluation framework for urban ecological resilience (UER) based on the pressure-state-response (PSR) framework, evaluates morphological resilience (MR) using source-sink landscape theory, evaluates density resilience (DR) using the ratio of ecological carrying capacity to ecological footprint, and evaluates response using indicators of economic structure, vitality, and innovation. The study found that the spatial layout of comprehensive UER was low in the middle and high in the periphery of the study area. Some areas with low MR and DR have high UER, verifying the compensation effect of ecological resilience on urban ecology. This study provides a new method for assessing UER and useful information for urban planning.

Summary: This letter presents a high-gain, low-profile dual-circularly polarized (CP) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with fixed beam. The antenna consists of only two-layered substrates, with the top layer constructing the annular LWA array and the bottom layer realizing the feeding network. The proposed coupler is used to generate the differential excitation for obtaining the fixed beam. Furthermore, the dual-CP feeding network provides two sequentially rotated phase excitations for the slot coupler, enabling dual-CP radiation with a fixed beam. The proposal has a profile height of only 0.15 λ at 28 GHz, while achieving a measured peak gain of up to 27.2 dBic, making it attractive for point-to-point communications.

Summary: Deletion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein-8 like 2 (TNFAIP8L2, TIPE2) promotes the activation of T-cell receptors. The role of TIPE2 in T-cell-mediated acute transplant rejection was investigated. It was found that deficiency of TIPE2 in recipient mice inhibited acute rejection by increasing regulatory T cells (Tregs) generated by immature dendritic cells (DCs), thereby prolonging allograft survival. These findings suggest that TIPE2 could be a therapeutic target for suppressing rejection in organ transplantation.
