Multimodal Discourse Analysis on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie Poster by Lalu Angger Harjantoko, Patrisius Istiarto Djiwandono, Daniel Ginting

“…In representational meaning, communication modes must be able to represent elements and their relations in a world outside of their representational system as perceived by people. This paper demonstrates how various modes in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” movie poster are integrated to represent meaning and symbolism in the movie through representational meaning. …”

Exact Solution for Long-Term Size Exclusion Suspension-Colloidal Transport in Porous Media by Z. You, P. Bedrikovetsky, L. Kuzmina

“…For monodispersed suspension and transport in porous media with distributed pore sizes, the microstochastic model allows for upscaling and the exact solution is derived for the obtained macroscale equation system. Results show that transient pore size distribution and nonlinear relation between the filtration coefficient and captured particle concentration during suspension filtration and retention are the main features of long-term deep bed filtration, which generalises the classical deep bed filtration model and its latter modifications. …”

Outage performance of SWIPT-NOMA-CR network with imperfect SIC and CSI by Zhuhua MA, Liping LUO

“…For the cognitive relay network based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), which is termed as SWIPT-NOMA-CR network, considering the practical situation of imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) and channel state information (CSI), the outage performance of secondary users was studied by using three relay transmission schemes including ideal, time switching (TS) and power splitting (PS).The analytical expressions of outage probability were derived for the secondary users, and the theoretical derivations were validated by Monte Carlo simulations.The results show that the outage performance of secondary users is impaired due to the imperfect SIC and CSI.Compared with the imperfect CSI, the imperfect SIC causes more severe loss to the outage performance of the system.Moreover, the outage probability of PS relay transmission scheme is lower than that of TS scheme.When the imperfect SIC and CSI conditions are changed, the outage probability gap with PS scheme is less than that with TS scheme, which indicates that the reliability of PS relay transmission scheme is superior to that of TS scheme.…”

Optimization and research on RFID anti-collision algorithm based on adaptive multi-dimension division code by Zhi-jin LI, Jie ZHOU, IAO-Jie Q, Wen-juan WU

“…Under the circumstance of many tags and many collisions,when multi-dimension division code algorithm is applied,the average number of times the reader calls each tag C(n) approximated to a limit 4/3,and the data conveyed by calling each tag tends to be a relatively small constant.However,under the circumstance of few collisions,the average number of times the reader calls each tag and the average data conveyed were relatively large.The adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm,and the optimization of adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm were proposed.The adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm could adaptively decrease the MDDC dimensions according to the numbers of tags,and encode the tags again,hence greatly decrease the average number of times the reader calls each tag even under the circumstance of few tags.Therefore,in RFID system,adaptive multi-dimension division code algorithm can significantly improve the efficiency of searching for tags no matter in many collisions or in few collisions.…”
