Laying the foundations: A bibliometric analysis of L2 vocabulary research in 1982-1986 by Paul Meara

“…The paper also reports a larger analysis of all the work that appeared in a five-year window from 1982-1986. This analysis clearly shows the beginnings of a recognisable research focus on L2 vocabulary acquisition, though this work is influenced by some surprising sources, who do not figure in more recent work in the field. …”

Mixed-Signal Parallel Compressive Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radios by Zhuizhuan Yu, Xi Chen, Sebastian Hoyos, Brian M. Sadler, Jingxuan Gong, Chengliang Qian

“…In this paper, a mixed-signal parallel compressive sensing architecture is developed to realize wideband spectrum sensing for cognitive radios at sub-Nqyuist rates by exploiting the sparsity in current frequency usage. Overlapping windowed integrators are used for analog basis expansion, that provides flexible filter nulls for clock leakage spur rejection. …”

Latency model of neighbor discovery based on Bluetooth low energy 5.0 by Bingqing LUO, Peipei WANG, Zhengkang WANG, Zhixin SUN

“…For Bluetooth low energy neighbor discovery protocol, it was usually difficult to assess the discovery latency performance.A latency performance model of neighbor discovery based on Chinese remainder theorem for Bluetooth 5.0 standard was proposed.A mathematical relationship between the discovery latency and key parameters was put forward, including advertising interval, scan interval and scan window.The effect of different parameter configurations on the neighbor discovery latency was verified.Experimental results show that the model can effectively predict the delay peak under the influence of parameter configuration, and provide parameter configuration verification and guidance for different application scenarios.…”

Controlling the Melt Resistance to Flow as a Possibility of Improving the Miscibility and the Time Behavior of Some Blends Based on Starch by Doina Dimonie, Miruna Musat, Sanda Maria Doncea, Celina Maria Damian, Liliana Anton, Eugeniu Vasile, Roxana Trusca, Maria Râpă

“…The obtained results show that, for process sensitive materials like starches, the border between good and less miscibility is so narrow that the window of melt processing conditions and the best formulation must be found for each of them. …”

SyncPoint based scoring method in IDS evaluation by YANG Wang1, GONG Jian1, WU Xiong1

“…Scoring the true positive rate and the false positive rate is a key component in IDS evaluation.The accuracy of the scoring method affects the effectiveness of the evaluation results.There are two kinds of scoring methods existed,one considering the false positive and the other not.But both of them aren’t accurate enough and don’t scale to the traffic volume increase.The characteristics required by the evaluating window was analyzed,and a SyncPoint based scoring method utilizing the features that the IDS processes the packet in a FIFO queue way was proposed.The theoretical analy-sis and the experiment show that the SyncPoint based scoring method is better than the current methods in accuracy and the scalability.…”

Transmission control protocol based on hop-by-hop for satellite networks by Lu WANG, Yue-mei HU, Li-xiang LIU, Xiao-hui HU

“…A transmission control protocol named TPSN(transmission control protocol for satellite networks)was proposed,which applied asynchronous hop-by-hop ACK,and SNACK based on checking window size to reduce overhead of control message and achieve reliable transmission.In addition,TPSN transmitted load information on the base of hop-by-hop scheme to maintain high network resources utilization,fairness among different data flows with heterogeneous RTT and congestion free.The good performance of TPSN,in terms of link utilization,transmission effectiveness and fairness,was verified via a simulated satellite network with high link error rate,large delay and intermittent links.…”
