QCD axion strings or seeds? by Simone Blasi, Alberto Mariotti

“…In the case of a first order EW phase transition, the strings can act as seeds by either catalyzing the nucleation of (non-spherical) bubbles, or leading to the completion of the phase transition by triggering a classical instability.…”

Receiver design of sparse Bayesian learning based MIMO-OFDM power line communication system by Xinrong LYU, Youming LI, Yongqing WU, Xiaobo TANG

“…The rich impulsive noise in the power line channel poses a huge challenge to the design of MIMO-OFDM transceiver.To solve this problem, a design scheme that can jointly estimate the channel and impulsive noise was proposed, which exploited the parametric sparsity of the classical multipath model and the sparsity of the time domain impulsive noise.In this scheme, the unknown channel model parameters and the impulsive noise were jointly regarded as a sparse vector.By observing the spatial correlation of MIMO system, a compressed sensing model based on multiple measurement vectors was constructed.The multiple response sparse Bayesian learning theory was introduced to jointly estimate the MIMO channel parameters and impulsive noise.The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional receiver scheme that considers MIMO channel estimation and impulsive noise suppression separately, the receiver proposed has a significant improvement in channel estimation performance and bit error rate performance.…”

Cooperative spectrum sensing method and performance analysis based on similarity between evidences by Zhiguo SUN, Xinyue REN, Zengmao CHEN, Ming DIAO

“…The Dempster-Shafer(DS) evidence theory was applied to cooperative spectrum sensing and address the paradox of evidence in classical DS evidence theory, a new weighted distance measure based algorithm was proposed.Firstly, the evidences were extracted for each sensing user.Then, the weighted distance measure of extracted basic probability assignment data was adopted as the similarity between evidences of sensing users.Finally, the similarity of evidences was transformed into credibility, which was utilized as the weight to obtain the weighted average of basic probability assignment.In order to reduce the amount of data reported to the fusion center, the projection approximation method was employed to adjust the basic probability assignment.Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the detection performance of spectrum sensing while the paradox of evidence exists.Compared with traditional methods the cooperation overhead is reduced.…”

Real time interpolation algorithm based on Lanczos kernel by Ying GUO, Lun LI, Peng WANG

“…In order to improve the timeliness and reliability of color image scaling algorithms,a high effective real-time color image scaling algorithm was proposed,which first generated the kernel look up table that could be used for whole target image based on Lanczos kernel,and interpolation of all target image pixels had only fixed point operation which had low computational complexity.Meanwhile,an optimized method for rasterizing pixels of target image was proposed,which needed little memory space but embraced high efficiency of memory utilization.The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm achieves good image quality,and the computational complexity is far more less than classic image scaling algorithms.So the proposed algorithm can effectively implement real-time resizing of color images and color videos in any scaling factors.…”

Image classification with rotation-invariant variational quantum circuits by Paul San Sebastian Sein, Mikel Cañizo, Román Orús

“…The equivariant circuit is benchmarked against two different architectures, and it is experimentally observed that the geometric approach boosts the model's performance. Finally, a classical equivariant convolution operation is proposed to extend the quantum model for the processing of larger images, employing the resources available in NISQ devices.…”

O diferencial do empreendedorismo solidário by Luiz Inácio Gaiger, Andressa da Silva Corrêa

“…The article aims to bring evidence that the solidarity economic undertakings, based on voluntary association, productive cooperation and self-management, employ a unique rationality, different from the capitalistic one. Classical authors such as Schumpeter, Polanyi and Weber, besides some scholars dedicated to the solidarity economy or to micro-entrepreneurship, such as Laville, Portela and Hespanha, give us a theoretical framework, which is used to review the concept of entrepreneurship and to discuss the findings of some empirical investigations, particularly regarding solidarity micro-enterprises. …”
