Novel method to calculate average bit error probability of UWB non-coherent system by YANG Zhi-hua1, WANG Ye1, ZHANG Qin-yu1, WANG Yu-feng 2, LIU Ning-ning 3, ZHANG Nai-tong1

“…A novel method based on clustered point process was proposed to calculate average bit error probability（ABEP） of UWB non-coherent system on IEEE 802.15.3a channel.In particular,the expectation and variance of the sig-nal to noise ratio（SNR） in the detection window were derived in closed form.Moreover,lognormal and normal variants were employed and compared to approximate the SNR in receiver window with respects to several characteristics.The results show that lognormal approximation is more feasible than normal approximation.In term of performance with PPM and OOK modulations,the efficiency of lognormal approximation is respectively much better than that of normal approximation.…”

Probable Relationship between COVID-19, Pollutants and Meteorology: A Case Study at Santiago, Chile by Giovanni A. Salini, Patricio R. Pacheco, Eduardo Mera, María C. Parodi

“…Hourly time-series data of three meteorological variables—temperature, relative humidity, wind speed—and three pollutants—PM10, PM2.5 and O3—were considered together with hourly data from the highest number accumulated sick’s in seven communes—chosen at random—in Santiago, Chile, studying a probable link between them. From the epidemic perspective, the infected patients number was linked to the hourly time-series of meteorological and pollutant variables, generating new time-series. …”
