Forward first: Joystick interactions of toddlers during digital play. by Kimberly A Ingraham, Heather A Feldner, Katherine M Steele

“…On average, the oldest children navigated the joystick to the target 5 seconds faster than the youngest children, and were nearly twice as efficient in their joystick path. These findings inform the design of assistive algorithms for joystick-enabled computer play and developmentally appropriate technologies for toddlers.…”

Les adjectifs prédicatifs et les verbes qualitatifs en maninka de Guinée by Valentin Vydrin

“…The augmenatative quality construction, a subtype of the verbal type, involves the addition of the suffix -bá to the quality verb, and the construction manifests some features of deverbalization.The inventory of the quality verbs in Guinean Maninka is reduced, they are twice as few as in Bambara. A complementary distribution is observed between quality verbs and predicative adjectives. …”

A dual mode switching channel estimation algorithm based on SNR decision in high speed railway scenarios by Chuanyun WANG, Min WANG, Junhui ZHAO, Yan YIN

“…A dual mode switching channel estimation algorithm based on SNR decision in high speed railway scenarios was proposed.The algorithm adopted DKL-BEM and LMMSE modelling the channel and estimating the channel under different speed conditions,respectively.The simulation results show that the SNR increased,the performance of the twice channel estimation algorithm based on ICI cancellation became worse than that of the traditional DKL-BEM algorithm,and a cross-point appeared,its value moved towards the small SNR as the speed increased.Through analyzing the parameters and extracting the cross-point values of the two algorithms,the moving trajectory of the cross-point with the speed changing was given.The proposed algorithm can adaptively achieve the switching between two algorithms and improve the applicability and effectiveness of the channel estimation algorithm.…”

Novel self-renewal hash chain scheme based on (t,n) threshold and division tree by Hai-ping HUANG, Ting DAI, Ru-chuan WANG, Xiao-lin QIN, Jiu-tian CHEN

“…The introduction of renewal hash chain overcame resource-constrained defect in traditional hash chains,but the existing renewable schemes had still held unsatisfactory performance especially on security and complexity.The definitions of repetition,division and division-tree was proposed,and then a novel self-renewable hash chain construction scheme was put forward based on division and (,t n)-Mignotte's threshold Chinese remainder theorem secret sharing scheme.From three aspects of key space,twice authent ion and provable security,it theoretically proves that the proposed hash scheme could ensure the novel seed value regenerated safely and resisting the middle-man attack effectively.Simulation experiments demonstrate that the novel scheme obtains equal or more satisfactory performances on the costs of communication,computation and storage than typical schemes.…”

Blind adaptive matching pursuit algorithm for signal reconstruction based on sparsity trial and error by Wen-biao TIAN, Zheng FU, Guo-sheng RUI

“…Compressed sensing is a novel signal processing theory that it introduces a novel way of acquiring compressible signals,the test times of existing sparsity trial and error algorithms were always large.The novel algorithm,blind sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (BSAMP) was proposed,could recover the original signal fast in the case of unknown sparsity.Firstly,the range of sparsity was determined,and each time half of values in current range were eliminated by trial and error test.Secondly,the number of atoms was twice the sparsity,which was united with the set of signal approximation support (got by last iteration) and then reconstructed the signal by solving least-squares problems.Last but not least,the least-squares approximation was pruned by weakly matching for next iteration.The results of simulation show that the novel algorithm can reconstruct signal faster and get larger recovery probability than other similar algorithms in the same conditions.…”
