Moving source geolocation algorithm and performance analysis using dual-satellites sequence measurements and calibration sources by Ding WANG, Li ZHANG, Ying WU

“…The method for locating a moving source on earth using a sequence of time difference of arrival(TDOA)and frequency difference of arrival(FDOA)measurements pairs obtained by dual-satellites was presented in the presence of calibration sources with accurate positions.First,the difference calibration(DC)location algorithm aiming to the mobile target was derived,and its theoretical performance was also analytically derived.The result demonstrates that the DC localization variance could not reach the CRB,although it could eliminate the location bias produced by the position and velocity errors of the dual-satellites.For this reason,a two-step optimal association location algorithm was proposed,and its theoretical performance was proved to be equal to the CRB.Finally,a variety of numerical experiments are performed to corroborate the superiority of the geolocation algorithms and the effectiveness of the performance analysis.…”

Morphology of Helicobacter pylori as a result of peptidoglycan and cytoskeleton rearrangements by Paweł Krzyżek, Grażyna Gościniak

“…This morphological variability affects nutrient transport and respiration processes, as well as motility, the ability to form aggregates/biofilms, and resistance to adverse environmental factors. For this reason, a more accurate understanding of the molecular determinants that control the morphology of H. pylori seems to be crucial in increasing the effectiveness of antibacterial therapies directed against this microorganism. …”

Fault analysis and research of wireless sensor network based on kernel partial least squares by Guang-hai ZHOU, Zhao-long NING, Zhi-kui CHEN, Hua ZHONG, Yue-ming HU

“…With the development of intelligent and networked sensor technology,wireless sensor networks were widely used in human life and commercial fields,because wireless sensor network nodes usually only carry limited resources,it is prone to failures due to insufficient resources,the accurate and timely fault diagnosis of WSN nodes can ensure the reliability of information,thus improving the maintainability of WSN and prolonging the service life of WSN.A method of using kernel partial least squares has been proposed to predict the fault reasons,the method overcomes the defects of traditional linear regression method and the nonlinear high dimensional space for data analysis.Through many experiments,the method can absorb the characteristics of canonical correlation analysis and principal component analysis method,provide a more thorough and rich content analysi,that the reason of the fault can be predicted effectively.…”
