Spectrum sensing algorithm based on the eigenvalue of Wishart random matrix by Xuemei YANG, Xi HE, Jiapin XU

“…In order to improve the spectrum sensing performance and overcome the shortcomings of the classical algorithm,a new cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm based on Wishart random matrix theory was proposed.According to the logarithmic distribution characteristics of the sampled covariance matrix eigenvalues and using the ratio of maximum eigenvalue and geometric mean eigenvalue,a simple closed-form threshold expression could be obtained,and the spectrum sensing decision could be performed depend on the threshold.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can get better sensing performance even under the conditions of a few number of cooperative users,low signal to noise ratio and a few samples.It is less affected by false-alarm probability and the extreme values,and has better detection performance than similar algorithms.…”

Finanza, finanziarizzazione, neoliberismo by Angelo Salento

“…Therefore, in this contribution, after identifying the essential features of financialization processes described by the classics of social sciences, it is argued that what distinctively characterizes financialization in the neoliberal era are two interconnected aspects: the pervasive influence of finance and financial calculation on economic governance (particularly the codification of shareholder value maximization as the keystone of corporate control, i.e., as the primary goal of companies’ economic actions) and the impact of contemporary financialization on the dynamics of social reproduction through a process of financialization of the foundational economy.…”
