In this paper, a joint synchronization and Doppler scaling factor estimation algorithm has been proposed for underwater acoustic communications. The training sequence, which consists of two Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences being conjugate with each other, is utilized to synchronize and estimate Doppler scaling factor, time delay and carrier frequency offsets (CFOs). ZC sequences are well designed to show...
In this paper, we describe the LFM-1b User Genre Profile dataset. It provides detailed information on musical genre preferences for more than 120,000 listeners and links to the LFM-1b dataset. We created the dataset by exploiting social tags, indexing them using two genre term sets, and aggregating the resulting annotated listening events on the user level. We foresee several applications of the dataset...
In the current scenario, second opinion of physicians has gained a significant attention in terms of saving life and cost. This requires transmission of Electronic Patient Record (EPR), which is generally carried on a secured network. Despite all safety measures, the primary concern is privacy, security and confidentiality of patient information. Therefore, this paper proposes an invisible watermarking...
In the urban landscape, sculpture is vital to represent culture tradition of the city. It is a soul part of whole landscape. This paper uses the main city in Chinas park or green place as the research object and selects 100 representative samples for quantitative evaluation of the garden sculpture by SBE method. By using correlation analysis, variance analysis, stepwise regression method, it determines...
It is found that the GARCH (1,1) model has a good fitting effect on the time series by the statistical analysis of the logarithmic yield of the closing price of the Shanghai Composite Index. Therefore, this paper first uses the model GARCH (1,1) predicts the daily closing price of the Shanghai Composite Index, and then uses the Fourier series to correct the predicted residuals to obtain the final...
In the Chinese classical gardens, the pavilion is one of the most representative classical garden architectures, in order to reflect the aesthetic values of city landscape pavilion, this paper uses the main city in China's classical Pavilion as the research object and selects 90 representative samples for quantitative evaluation of the classical Pavilion by SBE method. By using correlation analysis,...
The value of a software product diminishes due to emerging new requirements and gradual changes in system usage patterns over its lifespan, including other direct or indirect impacts from the surrounding environment. Often new requirements or changes cannot be addressed instantly; therefore, the system becomes less effective with incompatible or unused features, gradually degrading the overall value...
The significant number of fails and dropouts in computing undergraduate courses, especially in mathematics and programming, remains a challenge. Although the motivation can be directly related to the success of the student, it has only been addressed by a few studies. The purpose in this paper is to assess the impact of factors prior to university on the performance and motivation of undergraduate...
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the lethal cancer types as well as one of the heterogeneous cancer types. To elucidate GC molecular mechanisms, mutational co-occurrence analyses have been suggested. However, an association between mutational co-occurrences and known GC signaling contexts has yet to be identified. In this study, the known GC signaling contexts including cancer hallmarks (DNA repair,...
Goal. To create a mathematical tool for assessing the quality of a complex system likely availability (or failure) in the presence of interrelation in the components operation. The tool is different from the Markov's chain and other analogs. Tasks. To introduce a binomial distribution as the sum of the probabilities of ordered subsets of the numbers of successful tests. Introduction to probability...
This study aims to apply the synergy of human hand fingers in a robotic hand. Linear regression was used to study the movements. The work contributes to defining robotic models similar to human synergy. As a result an algorithm was obtained that applies the necessary movements in the robotic hand so that it reproduces movements similar to those of the human hands.
Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) method is very often used inside electronic intelligence systems. TDOA method requires the high signal to noise ratio at the output of the intermediate frequency amplifier for target localization, usually around 12 dB or more. At low signal-to-noise ratio TDOA is inaccurate and especially in case of the active jamming it is nearly impossible. The multilateral TDOA...
Programmers of all experience levels attempt to leverage code snippets with varying success, often as reminders or to learn new skills. To date, little work has explored the specific elements within code snippets that are challenging for novices. Comparing how novices and experts recall code snippets may expose what code elements programmers focus on and inform new approaches for improving examples...
With the development of China's economy, the transformation of the terminal energy consumption structure has been put on the agenda. For this reason, the government proposes the Electric Power Alternative plan to promote electricity consumption and ban the consumption of traditional fossil energy. In view of the existing power instead of the terminal energy evaluation method of low efficiency, low...
In this paper, the problem of single-channel blind source separation (SCBSS) of a mixture of two co-frequency phase-shift keying (PSK) signals with unknown carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) is investigated. Two SCBSS algorithms which are robust to CFOs are proposed to perform separation of the mixture signals. In the first algorithm, the phase changes of the received signals caused by CFOs are tracked...
For the deficiency of the incidence model, the incidence model based on the included angle of vectors is presented and is extended to the panel data. In order to describe the incidence between the sequences, which is projected to n-dimensional vector. The included angle of vectors reacts the difference of the sequences in similarity. The incidence model based on the included angle of vectors is defined,...
Depth from focus is a highly accessible method to estimate the 3D structure of everyday scenes. Today’s DSLR and mobile cameras facilitate the easy capture of multiple focused images of a scene. Focus measures (FMs) that estimate the amount of focus at each pixel form the basis of depth-from-focus methods. Several FMs have been proposed in the past and new ones will emerge in the future, each with...
To identify the performances of an aeration equipment, it is necessary to determine some parameters which helps to classify it from the hydraulic-technical-economic point of view. Current methods compare mechanical equipment to hydrodynamic parameters. The most important parameters are the oxygenation capacity, CO [kgO2/h], the economic coefficient, E [kgO2/kWh] and the specific power index, δ [W/m...
A multilevel evaluation model integrating Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFNs), Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was Proposed to evaluate Brownfield Redevelopment Projects (BRPs). Three schemes were proposed including 1: Housing Society, 2: Industrial Park 3: Commercial Development. Initially, primary indicators were identified through extensive literature review...
In this paper, a new cell selection technique is proposed for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) considering hybrid beamforming structure in data transmission stage. In order to reduce processing time for channel estimation, cell and beam synchronization signals (CBSS) are proposed which are simultaneously transmitted from multiple beams. It is shown by simulation that the proposed technique with the CBSS...
