Methods of Calculating Ionization Energies of Multielectron (Five or More) Isoelectronic Atomic Ions by Peter F. Lang, Barry C. Smith

“…We have previously used simple empirical equations to reproduce the literature values of the ionization energies of isoelectronic sequences of up to four electrons which gave very good agreement. We reproduce here a kinetic energy expression with corrections for relativity and Lamb shift effects which give excellent agreement with the literature values. …”

SRS prioritization and time-shift transmit mechanism based sidelink radio interface synchronization scheme by Xiaoyong ZHOU, Bin SHEN, Lang XU, Xiaoge HUANG

“…For LTE-V2X system,acquiring the synchronization reference signal (SRS) is indispensable for vehicles to establish service connections in the network.However,there are some vehicles may not obtain the SRS and consequently fail to be synchronized with the network.In order to solve this problem,a sidelink (SL) radio interface synchronization scheme was proposed.Vehicles select an optimal SPS according to SRS priority division mechanism.The SRS are given different priorities,where the priorities of different synchronization sources can be distinguished in a time-shift based SRS transmit mechanism and meanwhile the interference among the SRS of different sources can be effectively suppressed.Simulation results illustrate that even when the synchronization source is assigned a priority of four,the synchronization error can still be satisfied the requirement.Compared with the conventional synchronization schemes,the proposed scheme supports an expanded synchronization range aided by synchronization over the SL and achieves mitigation of SRS interference with the time-shift based SRS transmit mechanism.The proposed scheme can serve as an efficacious and feasible solution for the LTE-V2X system.…”

Technique for target recognition based on intuitionistic fuzzy c-means clustering and kernel matching pursuit by Yang LEI, Wei-wei KONG, Ying-jie LEI

“…Kernel matching pursuit requires every step of searching process be global optimal searching in the redundant dictionary of function.Namely,the dictionary learning time of KMP was too long.To the above drawbacks,a novel technique for KMP based on IFCM was proposed to substitute local searching for global searching by the property superiority of dynamic clustering performance,which was also the superiority in Intuitionistic fuzzy c-means algorithm.Then two testing including classification and effectiveness were carried out towards four real sample data.Subsequently,high resolution range profile (HRRP)was selected from the classical properties of target recognition in e middle ballistic trajectory,which were extracted for getting sub-range profile.Finally,three algorithms including FCM,KMP,IFCM-KMP were carried out respectively towards different kinds of sub-range profile samples in emulation platform,the conclusion of which fully demonstrates that the IFCM-KMP algorithm is superior over FCM and KMP when it comes to target recognition in the middle ballistic trajectory.…”
