Sensitivity of Eigenvalues to Nonsymmetrical, Dissipative Control Matrices by Vernon H. Neubert

“…With the control matrix G, it is here assumed that the positioning of individual controllers and sensors is flexible, with Fi=Ciiz˙i or Fi=Cijz˙j, the latter meaning that the control force at i is proportional to the velocity sensed at j. Thus the problem addressed herein is how the individual elements in the G matrix affect the modal eigenvalues. …”

Spectrum access control for cognitive internet of things users based on enhanced weighted centroid localization by Bin SHEN, Yinbo LI, Xiaowei LIANG

“…In the cognitive internet of things (CIoT), due to the non-cooperative characteristics between the primary user (PU) and the secondary user (SU), it is unreliable to seek the spectrum access opportunity by merely relying on traditional spectrum sensing technology.As an important type of auxiliary information, the mutual location information between PU and SU can assist in determining the possibility of secondary access to the licensed frequency band (LFB).A low-complexity neighbor-based weighted centroid localization (NB-WCL) algorithm was proposed to solve the localization problem of SUs in CIoT, so as to complete the decision of whether spectrum access can be performed at each geographical location in CIoT.The root mean square root error (RMSE) performance of two-dimensional position estimation was analyzed and the impacts of factors were verified such as communication radius, node density, shadowing influence, path loss exponent, connectivity metric, and the number of data transmitted on the algorithm performance in simulations.The theoretical derivation and experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides more robust and better localization error performance for the SU localization algorithm in CIoT than the traditional localization algorithms, which can effectively enhance the reliability of CIoT for spectrum access.The proposed scheme can serve as a practically effective candidate solution in the CIoT.…”

The assessment of carrying capacity of marine fishery resources in China by Zhaoyang Liu, Wenhai Lu, Tao Wang, Yujia Zhang, Long He, Lu Yang, Lijing Deng

“…IntroductionThe sustainable development of marine fisheries has been a major concern, with the carrying capacity of marine fishery resources becoming a focal point of research.MethodsThis study, utilizing remote sensing data, marine capture fisheries catch data, and fishing effort data from 2013 to 2020, aims to determine the maximum sustainable yield using a surplus production model and provide a comprehensive assessment of the status and potential of China’s marine fishery resources.ResultsThe results indicate that China’s marine fishery resources exhibit significant regional variability, with the East China Sea contributing the largest share of catch and maintaining sustainability, while regions such as the South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea have exceeded their ecological carrying capacities. …”

Conversions to Catholicism among Fin de Siècle Writers: A Spiritual and Literary Genealogy by Claire Masurel-Murray

“…The Tractarian theologian’s religion may at first sight have little in common with the aesthetic religion of the fin de siècle poets, and yet his view of the act of faith as founded on the senses, the emotions and the imagination was certainly an element that they were keen to appropriate, and his focus on the human conscience as the centre of religious experience is implicitly present in the solitary and highly subjective piety that emerges in the works of Gray, Johnson and Dowson.…”

À la recherche du substrat cognitif du submorphème SM- by Line Argoud

“…Special emphasis will be laid on the duality prevailing in several fields: two-way movements between the object and the subject of perception (smoke, smother, smoulder, smell); relations between the ‘in-movement’ of impressions or sensations (smell, smooth, smutty) and the ‘out-movement’ of the expression of emotions (smile, smirk, smug); overlap between features pertaining to the senses of smell / taste, and touch (smack, smart, smear, smite).…”
