ABSTRACT
A phase error correction method is proposed to compensate for the phase error in super-resolution correlated imaging based on metamaterial antennas. The varying carrier frequencies of a metamaterial antenna can generate the random radiation field for super-resolution correlation imaging, but the variation of the signal carrier frequency leads to large phase errors in the imaging results. In this proposed method, the sampling matrix in the super-resolution correlated imaging algorithm is used to compensate for the phase errors. Each element of the matrix is multiplied by a compensation phase corresponding to the phase error, and the error is subtly removed from the algorithm. In the experiment, the antenna pattern at each frequency of the metamaterial antenna is measured and recorded. In addition, an external field experiment is also carried out, and the collected data are imaged with the improved algorithm. Experimental results show that this technology can effectively solve the effect of phase errors on imaging results caused by signal carrier frequency changes.
ABSTRACT
Bohai Black cattle are one of the well-known cattle breeds with black coat color in China, which are cultivated for beef. However, no study has conducted a comprehensive analysis of genomic diversity and selective pressures in Bohai Black cattle. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic variation in 10 Bohai Black cattle (five newly sequenced and five published) and the published whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of 50 cattle representing five "core" cattle populations. The population structure analysis revealed that Bohai Black cattle harbored the ancestry with European taurine, Northeast Asian taurine, and Chinese indicine. The Bohai Black cattle demonstrated relatively high genomic diversity from the other cattle breeds, as indicated by the nucleotide diversity (pi), the expected heterozygosity (HE) and the observed heterozygosity (HO), the linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay, and runs of homozygosity (ROH). We identified 65 genes containing more than five non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs), and an enrichment analysis revealed the "ECM-receptor interaction" pathways associated with meat quality in Bohai Black cattle. Five methods (CLR, θπ, FST, θπ ratio, and XP-EHH) were used to find several pathways and genes carried selection signatures in Bohai Black cattle, including black coat color (MC1R), muscle development (ITGA9, ENAH, CAPG, ABI2, and ISLR), fat deposition (TBC1D1, CYB5R4, TUSC3, and EPS8), reproduction traits (SPIRE2, KHDRBS2, and FANCA), and immune system response (CD84, SLAMF1, SLAMF6, and CDK10). Taken together, our results provide a valuable resource for characterizing the uniqueness of Bohai Black cattle.
