Antenna azimuth diagnosis based on multi-layer perceptron model by Xiangrong CHEN

“…Antenna azimuth was seen as a key factor in the quality of mobile communications, and its accuracy will directly affect the quality of network optimization.An antenna azimuth diagnosis method was proposed based on multi-layer perceptron.The azimuth was divided into 12 interval classes, each class covered a range of 30°, that was,[0, 30°) was recorded as class 0, …,[330°, 360°) was recorded as class 11.The multi-layer perceptron algorithm was used to identify the range of the antenna azimuth angle and automatically identify the angle range of the antenna azimuth angle, which provided effective data support for the network optimization engineer to determine the actual network coverage problem, and greatly reduced workload and labor cost in verifying antenna performance.Experimental results show that the method can effectively and quickly discriminate the antenna azimuth interval class, and the recognition accuracy reaches 92.6%, which is higher than the classification accuracy of random forest and logistic regression classification algorithms.…”

Observaciones sobre la relación entre la “cosmo-lógica” y la construcción de la persona en el espiritismo cubano by Diana Espirito Santo

“…In this paper I suggest that popular forms of Cuban spiritism (espiritismo) offer a genuine “anthropology” or indigenous theory of personhood that acts as a dynamic driving force towards, and for, its sister Afro-Cuban religions, diversifying personal practices through the demands of the dead with whom the mediums communicate. From this point of view, the practice of mediumship could be described as an ontogenetic engine, creating, in each person, the possibility of existential self-recognition through self-production. …”

What motivates older adult learners in Poland to study foreign languages in later life? by Agata Słowik-Krogulec

“…Three major findings were identified in this study: (a) older adults take up learning languages in later life in order to communicate while travelling (also with their families who live abroad); to socialise and get to know new people and cultures; to maintain intellectual abilities and to develop cognitively; (b) the instructor and other learners are key components in improving older adults’ motivation; and (c) stereotypes related to senescence and to Foreign Language Geragogy should be challenged to make classes relevant and interesting for this age group.…”
