The radiation from ultrafast point dipoles, moving uniformly near chiral media by V. N. Kadantsev

“…In this paper, some types of circularly polarized EM waves propagating in optically active (magnetoactive, naturally active, gyrotropic, and chiral) media are considered. Using the generalized reciprocity theorem for media characterized by the Hermitian permittivity tensor, we consider the transient and Cherenkov radiation excited by a uniformly moving bunch of charged particles when it crosses (or moves along) the interface of media, one of which is an optically active gyrotropic medium. …”

Human activity recognition system based on low-cost IoT chip ESP32 by Chao HU, Bangyan LU, Yanbing YANG, Zhe CHEN, Lei ZHANG, Liangyin CHEN

“…Human activity recognition widely exists in applications such as sports management and activity classification.The current human activity recognition applications are mainly divided into three types: camera-based, wearable device-based, and Wi-Fi awareness-based.Among them, the camera-based human activity recognition application has the risk of privacy leakage, and the wearable device-based human activity recognition application has problems such as short battery life and poor accuracy.Human activity recognition based on Wi-Fi sensing generally uses Wi-Fi network cards or software-defined radio devices to identify the rules of channel state information changes, so as to infer user activity.It does not have the problems of privacy leakage and short battery life.But Wi-Fi network cards need to rely on computers and software-defined radio platforms are expensive, which greatly limit the application scenarios of Wi-Fi sensing.Aiming at the above problems, a human activity recognition system based on the low-cost IoT chip ESP32 was proposed.Specifically, the Hampel filter and Gaussian filter were used to preprocess the channel state information obtained by ESP32.Then, the principal component analysis and discrete wavelet transform were utilized to reduce the dimension of the data.Finally, the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm was applied to classify data.The experimental results show that the system can achieve a recognition accuracy which close to the current mainstream Wi-Fi perception system (Intel 5300 network card) when only two ESP32 nodes are deployed, and the average accuracy rate for the six activities is 98.6%.…”

Relationship of Algebraic Theories to Powerset Theories and Fuzzy Topological Theories for Lattice-Valued Mathematics by S. E. Rodabaugh

“…This paper answers the first question by generalizing the Höhle-Šostak foundations for fixed-basis lattice-valued topology and the Rodabaugh foundations for variable-basis lattice-valued topology using semi-quantales; and it answers the second question by giving necessary and sufficient conditions under which certain theories—the very ones generating powerset theories generating (fuzzy) topological theories in the sense of this paper—are algebraic theories, and these conditions use unital quantales. …”

Competition between microstructure and defect in multiaxial high cycle fatigue by F. Morel, R. Guerchais, N. Saintier

“…It is well known that the microstructure strongly affects the average fatigue strength and when the cyclic stress level is close to the fatigue limit, it is often seen as the main source of the huge scatter generally observed in this fatigue regime. The presence of geometrical defects in a material can also strongly alter the fatigue behavior. …”

Private-preserving scientific computation of the rational numbers by Xuhong LIU, Chen SUN

“…As a fundamental part of cryptography, secure multiparty computation (SMC) is a building block of various cryptographic protocols, and it is also a hot topic in the international cryptographic community.In recent years, many SMC problems, such as secret information comparison, secret set problems and secure multiparty computational geometry, have been widely studied.As many practical problems need to be described by rational numbers, it is both theoretically and practically important to study the SMC problems in the rational number field.However, most of the existing researches focus on integers and the studied data are mainly one-dimensional data.There are few researches on secure multiparty computation of multi-dimensional data in the rational number field, but they can’t be generalized.Based on the fractional representation of rational numbers, the new encoding schemes about rational numbers and rational number vectors were proposed, which could encode multi-dimensional data in the rational number field and provided new solutions for other SMC problems in the rational number field.Based on the encoding scheme and one-way hash function, some protocols were designed for equality problems and set problems in the rational number field.These protocols used basic arithmetic operation and hash operation to guarantee efficiency than existing related protocols.And these protocols didn’t limit the range of research data and they were more widely applicable.It proves that these protocols are secure in the semi-honest model using simulation paradigm, and demonstrates the efficiency and the applicability of these protocols by theoretical analysis and experiment.A practical example was also given to illustrate that approaches are more versatile, and they could also be directly used to solve some secure multiparty computational geometry problems in the rational number field.…”
