Through a comprehensive review of 33 papers, this research reveals four research paradigms of AI in graphic design: Artificial Intelligence Driven Design Automation and Generation (AIDAG), Artificial Intelligence Assisted Graphic Design and Image Processing (AGDIP), Artificial Intelligence in Art and Creative Design Processes (AACDP), and Artificial Intelligence Enhanced Visual Attention and Emotional Response Modeling (AVERM). These paradigms demonstrate the multidimensional role of AI in design, ranging from automation to emotional interaction. The findings suggest that AI serves a dual role as both a design tool and a medium for innovation. AI not only enhances the automation and efficiency of the design process but also fosters designers' creative thinking and understanding of users' emotional needs.

This article reviews the core concepts behind MIMO communication, Massive MIMO communication, space-time block codes, and rateless codes in the context of wireless communication systems. Building on the foundational concepts of information theory and mmWave massive MIMO, we developed space-time block codes that maintain orthogonality for real-valued symbols. Following a thorough analysis of these codes, we successfully extended them into rateless orthogonal space-time block codes (ROSTBC) for massive MIMO. This extension enables the codes to adapt their rates dynamically based on the unknown channel conditions at the transmitter. The research work was concluded by comparing static G4 encoded Tarokah work and other Orthogonal Space Time Block Codes (OSTBCs) with Rateless Space Time Block Codes (ROSTBCs). The results show that as the number of blocks used to encode the message in Rateless Space Time Block Code (ROSTBC) increases, this coding scheme can outperform static Rateless Space Time Block Codes (OSTBC) in very low SNR values by a minimum of 8.5 %.

However, the rapid development of phage-resistant mutants challenges the potential of phage therapy. Understanding the mechanisms of bacterial adaptations to phage predation is crucial for phage-based prognostic applications. Phage cocktails and combinatorial therapy, using optimized dosage patterns of antibiotics, can negate the development of phage-resistant mutations and prolong therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we describe the characterization of a novel bacteriophage and the physiology of phage-resistant mutant developed during infection. M12PA is a <i>P. aeruginosa</i>-infecting bacteriophage with Myoviridae morphology. We observed that prolonged exposure of <i>P. aeruginosa</i> to M12PA resulted in the selection of phage-resistant mutants. Among the resistant mutants, pyomelanin-producing mutants, named PA-M, were developed at a frequency of 1 in 16. Compared to the wild-type, we show that PA-M mutant is severely defective in virulence properties, with altered motility, biofilm formation, growth rate, and antibiotic resistance profile. The PA-M mutant exhibited reduced pathogenesis in an allantoic-infected chick embryo model system compared to the wild-type. Finally, we provide evidence that combinatory therapy, combining M12PA with antibiotics or other phages, significantly delayed the emergence of resistant mutants. In conclusion, our study highlights the potential of combinatory phage therapy to delay the development of phage-resistant mutants and enhance the efficacy of phage-based treatments against <i>P. aeruginosa</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":12894,"journal":{"name":"Heliyon","volume":"10 21","pages":"e40076"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11570307/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142667839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
