Blind extraction of underdetermined mixtures via time-frequency mask by Ming XIAO, Feng GAO, Gong-xian SUN, Sheng-li XIE

“…For blind source estimation problem of underdetermined and non-completely sparse signals,a novel blind extraction algorithm was proposed.The algorithm combined the non-completely sparse blind extraction algorithm with the DUET approach.It computed firstly the extraction vector of source and the normal vector of source direction,and then renewed the mixtures and the mixing matrix using a linear transform,and recoverd the source using time-frequency mask method finally.Several speech signal experiments demonstrate its performance and practical.…”

Research on the high-performance transmission control protocol under lossy networks by Kai PAN, Hui LI

“…A novel redundancy parameter updating algorithm based on network coding combined TCP was proposed.Reduced coefficients linear network coding which could simplify decoding and simultaneously reduce the overhead in the header was involved in encoding process before data transmission.During the simulations,NS2 was used to test the communication under different lossy networks.Results showed that the new protocol which adopted this algorithm re-tained the fairness and outperformed the other protocols in effectiveness and adaptability especially under light-load net-works.…”

Desigualdade socioespacial e pandemia da COVID-19 na conurbação Belém-Ananindeua-Marituba, Pará by Felipe Garcia Passos

“…This paper aims to highlight the socio-spatial inequality of the Belém-Ananindeua-Marituba conurbation, relating it to the context of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The investigation was carried out by comparing maps of social indicators such as income, race, and gender and by analyzing the relationship between the location of the health care centers for patient observation and hospitalization and the subnormal clusters. …”

Recent trends in user studies: action research and qualitative methods by T.D. Wilson

“…</i> It attempted to set out what was, for the time, a novel perspective on appropriate methodologies for the study of human information seeking behaviour, focusing on qualitative methods and action research, arguing that the application of information research depended up its adoption into the managerial processes of organizations, rather than its self-evident relationship to any body of theory.…”

Boardroom electronic voting scheme based on DC-net by Long-hai LI, Shao-feng FU, Cheng-qiang HUANG

“…A novel electronic voting scheme was proposed which was quite suitable for small scale election setting.An outstanding characteristic of the design was its guarantee of unconditionally perfect ballot secrecy.It satisfied self-tallying,fairness and verifiability.Disruption of the result of an election equals to breaking the discrete logarithm problem.The scheme is built on top of the DC-net (dining cryptographers network) anonymous broadcast protocol.It needs no trusted authority to guarantee its security,but assumes a complete network of private channels between voters.…”

Louisa May Alcott’s Changing Views on Women, Work, and Marriage in Work by Jelena Šesnić

“…The text, therefore, engages intersecting but distinct discourses of femininity, domesticity, and individual emancipation. The novel proposes a new direction by placing women squarely in the public sphere of labor and social relations, even though that move is qualified by normative and sentimentalist constraints for middle-class characters. …”

Optimization design of structure invulnerability in space information network by Fei-hong DONG, Jing LV, Xiang-wu GONG, Chao LI

“…Combined with the space information network architecture design requirements,a novel optimization design technology was proposed,which could achieve strongly network structure invulnerability.The natural connectivity was analyzed and selected as the invulnerability measure.In addition,a modified artificial immune algorithm was proposed based on the natural connectivity and the immune review.Results show that the proposed method improves the network invulnerability performance and provides a better robustness compared with typical space information systems in link failure mode and node failure mode.…”
