Least Squares Estimation for α-Fractional Bridge with Discrete Observations by Guangjun Shen, Xiuwei Yin

“…Assume that the process is observed at discrete time ti=iΔn,  i=0,…,n, and Tn=nΔn denotes the length of the “observation window.” We construct a least squares estimator α^n of α which is consistent; namely, α^n converges to α in probability as n→∞.…”

Joint estimation of target time delay and Doppler frequency in passive radar system by ANGPeng W, IUTian-shuang Q, IJing-chun L, ANHai-feng T

“…A novel method of joint estimation of time delay and Doppler shift in passive radar system based on short-time fractional Fourier transform (STFRFT) was proposed.Firstly,the mathematical expression of the STFRFT time-frequency resolution was studied for the quantitative comparison.Secondly,based on the projection envelops of STFRFT,a new method to estimate the time delay and Doppler shift was put forward.Finally,the factors related with the estimation precision such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),parameters of Gaussian window were analyzed.The simulation results demonstrate that compared with the CAF based method,proposed method can get precise time delay and Doppler shift estimations with higher probability.…”

Gesture recognition based on flexible solar cells and ultrathin hydrogel film by Rucheng WU, Wenbo DING, Xiaomin XU, Linqi SONG, Weitao XU

“…Daily life involves various gestures, and combining these with smart wearable devices is crucial for improving quality of life.One effective solution to the challenges of gesture recognition and device energy consumption isutilizing the photoelectric conversion characteristics of solar energy-related devices.The data of five commonly used gestures were collected in the research of the combination of flexible solar cells and gesture recognition.Z-Score, low-pass filter, sliding window techniques for signal processing were applied, and successfully achieved 100% predicted accuracy using random forest, support vector machine and neural network algorithms even with small samples which showed that this method had significant advantages in the application of gesture recognition.…”

Dynamic scheduling algorithm for streaming media based on CDN by YANG Ge1, FAN Xiu-mei3

“…The scheme that the patch bytes were segmented and cached was employed.The cache window size was up-dated periodically according to the popularity of streaming media object.The principle was obeyed that the data cached for each streaming media object were in proportion to their popularity at the proxy server.Simulation results show that the strategy is more adaptive than MBP（multicast batched patching） algorithm and OBP（optimized batch patch-ing）+prefix ＆ patch caching algorithm.It can significantly reduce patching data through patching channel under the cir-cumstance of the same maximum cache space.It can effectively reduce the server load and network bandwidth usage on backbone link.It can also save the transmission cost.…”

Research on the algorithm for reducing the PAPR of OFDM system based on quantum chaotic mapping by Yingjie MA, Geng ZHAO, Zhanzhen WEI, Zhaobin LI, Lei JU

“…Aiming at the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) problem of OFDM system,a modified selective mapping algorithm based on quantum loigstic chaotic map was proposed.To solve the problem of fixed point and stable window,the quantum loigstic chaotic maps were used as random phase sequence vectors,which provided a large number signals with fine correlation and random characteristics,easy to produce and regenerate.Matlab simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the PAPR,increases the numbers of candidate signals,cuts down the amount of redundant information transmission,bring down the side band power.The proposed scheme has a broad application prospect in OFDM system.…”

Steady as she goes? A bibliometric analysis of L2 vocabulary research in 1987 by Paul Meara

“…The paper also reports a larger analysis of all the work that appeared in a five year window from 1983–1987. This larger data set is not quite as volatile as the smaller 1987 data set, but it suggests that some sources who dominated the co-citation maps in earlier years are losing their influence. …”
