(Press-News.org)
This study is led by Prof. Ping Zhang, Dr. Yiming Liu, Yile Song, and Jiaxiang Zhang (State Key Laboratory of Networking and Switching Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications). The article summarizes the advances made in semantic information and semantic communications. It also deeply discusses the main challenges, key issues, and potential research directions in the development of modern semantic communication, aiming to prompt further scientific and industrial advances in semantic communications.
The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has had a significant impact on modern society. The evolution of mobile communication systems from the first generation (1G) to the fifth generation (5G) has been characterized by capacity expansions and technological advancements. However, these advancements have primarily focused on increasing the physical dimension of information transmission while approaching the limits of Shannon's information theory.
Prof. Ping Zhang and his team proposed modern semantic communications. Utilizing the natural redundancy of information, they co-design source compression and channel transmission, compensating for transmission errors and achieving end-to-end system-wide optimization. This article conducts a comprehensive survey of modern semantic communication theories and methods, and provides an in-depth introduction to modern semantic communication research, including the semantic base (Seb)-based semantic transmission framework and semantic communication-empowered intelligent and concise (Intellicise) networks.
This review provides an in-depth introduction to a new basic model of semantic information representation, the Seb model, and further discusses the Seb-based semantic transmission framework, including semantic representation and encoding, semantic modulation, semantic knowledge base modeling, semantic metrics, etc. Then, this review explores the potential applications of modern semantic communication technology, including Intellicise networks, goal-oriented applications, and the metaverse.
The Intellicise networks emphasize the use of native intelligence and endogenous simplified architecture to achieve system optimization. With nodes possessing intelligence, the network itself will gradually evolve towards a native intelligent system, ultimately achieving a state of self-evolution, self-optimization, and self-balance. In this context, semantic communication has shown great potential in extracting and transmitting the meaning of information and is envisioned as a promising technology for Intellicise networks. Moreover, semantic communication has a wide range of potential application scenarios for vertical fields, including intelligent healthcare, intelligent transportation, intelligent factories, etc. Finally, this review elaborates on open issues and key challenges in semantic communication and explores potential research directions to promote further research on modern semantic communication theories and methods.
Semantic communication has become one of the current 6G candidate key technologies. By innovating basic information theories and achieving key breakthroughs in intelligence, information, communication, and network technologies, it aims to transform the paradigm of communication systems.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Amid the threat of dramatic sea level rise, coastal communities face unprecedented dangers, but a new study reveals that as flooding intensifies, disadvantaged populations will be the ones to experience some of the most severe burdens of climate change.
While accelerating sea level rise will result in widespread intermittent flooding and long-term inundation in many coastal communities, the paper, recently published in Nature Communications, showed that when these levels increase above 4 feet, minority populations will be disproportionately at risk of isolation.
Rising sea levels could lead to isolation by disrupting transportation ...

Ischaemic cholecystitis is a form of gallbladder inflammation that occurs without gallstones or another form of external compression. It is caused by poor perfusion to the gallbladder tissue.
This new research is important because it helps to better understand the cause of ischaemic cholecystitis and to develop more effective treatments for this condition.
A team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, conducted a study investigating the cause of ischaemic cholecystitis. They found that the gallbladder is particularly susceptible to ischaemia ...

About The Study: The findings of this study including 345 participants suggest that post–COVID-19 brain health was impaired but, overall, no more than the brain health of patients from 3 non–COVID-19 cohorts of comparable disease severity. Long-term associations with brain health might not be specific to COVID-19 but associated with overall illness severity and hospitalization. This information is important for putting understandable concerns about brain health after COVID-19 into perspective.

About The Study: In this study of 465,000 individuals, a higher self-reported frequency of adding salt to foods was associated with a higher risk of chronic kidney disease in the general population. These findings suggest that reducing the frequency of adding salt to foods at the table might be a valuable strategy to lower chronic kidney disease risk in the general population.
