Design of low-voltage electronically tunable current-mode multiphase sinusoidal oscillator based on single CDCTA by Chun-hua WANG, Hai-rong LIN, Yi LI, Jie JIN, Zan-ming XIA

“…A novel current-mode multiphase sinusoidal oscillator circuit was proposed.The realized circuit using single current differencing cascaded transconductance amplifier(CDCTA)and only grounded passive elements could yield n(n being odd or even)current-output signals equally spaced in phase.It enjoyed the characteristics of simple circuit structure,low-voltage,high-output impedance,high-frequency and independently electronic adjustable of oscillation condition and oscillation frequency.CADENCE simulation and experimental results have been included to verify the theoretical analysis.…”

Decentralized improvement on floor control mechanism for PoC by Hai-peng LIU, Jian-xin LIAO, Xiao-min ZHU

“…TBCP(talk burst control protocol)has been defined as the floor control mechanism for PoC(push to talk over cellular)service by OMA(open mobile alliance).It is a centralized controlling mechanism which has several limitations as other central approaches have,such as bottleneck effect,bad scalability,high maintenance cost of the central node,etc.In order to overcome the deficiencies of TBCP,two novel distributed floor control mechanisms were put forward,TBCP/DQ(distributed queue) and TBCP/MQ(mobile queue).After analytical and experimental evaluations,the new approaches serve well for PoC and even all CMA(collaborative multimedia application)services.…”

Structure and performance of noncoherent receivers for differential space-time modulation in correlated time-varying fading channels by HUANG Bing-gang1, ZHOU Zhi-jie2

“…Utilizing channel correlation and time-varying fading parameter,a novel optimal noncoherent receiver for dif-ferential space-time modulation in correlated time-varying fading channels was derived.Under several special channels,the optimal receiver was simplified.Based on the decision feedback data,a suboptimal noncoherent receiver named DF-NCR was presented for the application of the optimal receiver.Analysis and simulation results show that the error performance of differential space-time modulation system with the proposed DF-NCR is better than conventional differ-ential transmission method in correlated time-varying fading channels.…”

High order intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting model by Ya-nan WANG, Ying-jie LEI, Yang LEI, Xiao-shi FAN

“…A high order intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting model was built.In the new model,fuzzy clustering algorithm was used to get unequal intervals,and a more objective technique for ascertaining membership and non-membership functions of intuitionistic fuzzy set was proposed.On these bases,forecasting rules based on mul-ti-dimension intuitionistic fuzzy modus ponens inference were established.At last,contrast experiments on the enroll-ments of the university of Alabama and the daily average temperature of Beijing were carried out,which show that the novel model has a clear advantage of improving the forecasting accuracy.…”

De la médiation à la médiatisation du témoignage : formes du trauma et de sa transmission dans Maus d’Art Spiegelman by Audrey Bardizbanian

“…This article means to discuss the issue of trauma and its transgenerational transmission in a postmemorial context, through an analysis of the representation of Holocaust memory and its media(tiza)tion in Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel, Maus. This study more precisely intends to highlight the aesthetic strategies used by the author to reconstruct his father’s testimony and the means whereby trauma comes to be inscribed in the artistic form of the medium itself. …”

Dynamical credibility aware data forwarding mechanism for intermittently connected wireless networks by Da-peng WU, Hong-pei ZHANG, Ru-yan WANG, Qiao-shou LIU

“…A novel dynamic credibility aware packet forwarding mechanism for intermittently connected wireless networks is proposed.According to the network state information obtained locally by a moving node,the malicious degrees and collaboration degrees of nodes can be obtained in a distributed manner.Meanwhile,based on the node connectivity,the credibility of a node is estimated,furthermore,the relay node can be selected reasonably.Results show that the proposed mechanism can effectively enhance the reliability of data transmission while reducing the network load rate significantly.Thus,the utilization of network resources is improved.…”
