Single-channel blind separation of co-frequency modulated signals based on Gibbs sampler by Yong YANG, Dong-ling ZHANG, Hua PENG, Shi-long TU

“…A Gibbs-sampler-based separation algorithm was proposed for single-channel co-frequency digital-modulated signals，which were received in non-cooperative ways.The probability density samples of unknown symbol sequences can be obtained by statistic method，and the computation complexity was not growing exponentially with the increase of channel order.With special emphasis on the separation algorithms of single pair of symbols，multiple pair of symbols and the tracking of channel responses.Moreover，the separation performance between Gibbs sampler and per-survivor processing(PSP) algorithm were analyzed and compared in detail.Simulation results show that，compared with PSP algorithm with L=4 for two co-frequency QPSK-modulated signals，Gibbs sampler can be nearly 17 times lower in computation complexity when the approximately performance is obtained.…”

Fundamentalist Signals in Volatility Scenarios: Evidence in the Brazilian Stock Market by Edson Bastos, Patricia Bortolon, Vinicius Maia

“…This article investigates whether the usefulness of fundamentalist signals to predict returns are altered in context of high volatility and also considering the sensitivity of assets to the IVol-BR volatility index. In times of high volatility, investors could make their decisions based on risk aversion and not only on the fundamentals signals of companies. …”

Non-Gaussianity from Large-Scale Structure Surveys by Licia Verde

“…With the advent of galaxy surveys which provide large samples of galaxies or galaxy clusters over a volume comparable to the horizon size (SDSS-III, HETDEX, Euclid, JDEM, LSST, Pan-STARRS, CIP, etc.) or mass-selected large cluster samples over a large fraction of the extra-galactic sky (Planck, SPT, ACT, CMBPol, B-Pol), it is timely to investigate what constraints these surveys can impose on primordial non-Gaussianity. …”

Research on the invulnerability of regional network based on topology analysis by Changqing AN, Yujia LIU, Hui WANG, Zhiyan ZHENG, Tao YU, Jilong WANG

“…To measure the overall impact of different attacks a network region may encounter, an evaluation algorithm can be used to capture the difference in invulnerability of regional network topologies.Specifically, the vulnerability of regional network and that of connection topology between regions both internally and externally was analyzed.To find predictions between regions as supplemental topology data and create the Internet topology, data would be measured in various ways and verified.Using stratified probability sampling, multiple damage simulations could predict the worst-case scenarios in real conditions.Damage was simulated multiple times based on stratified probability sampling to approximate the damage situation of the area under real conditions.A significance tester was realized to measure the impact of damage from the overall level and special weak points respectively, discover the difference of the damage between the areas, and calculate the regional invulnerability ranking.Finally, the ranking and clustering results of forty-eight regions were given.…”
