Spectrum sensing algorithm based on symmetry of cyclic spectral correlation by Yu-long GAO, Yan-ping CHEN, Xiu-zhi GUAN, Zhong-zhao ZHANG, Xue-jun SHA

“…In response to the shortcoming of conventional algorithms,modified SSCA was exploited to calculate the cyclic spectral correlation of received signal for decreasing the computational complexity.Symmetry of cyclic spectral correlation (CSC) was used to detect the idle spectrum,criteria and method of selecting and judging symmetry were proposed.Conventional binary hypothesis condition was translated to concrete value according to symmetry.In order to eliminate the effect of interference and noise,non-zero cyclic frequencies were selected.Finally,the performance of the presented algorithm was compared with the conventional algorithms by virtue of simulation.Simulation results proved the correctness and the superiority of new algorithms.Using symmetry improves the successful detection probability for low SNR and reduces the computational complexity.…”

“Any Strange Beast There Makes a Man”: Interaction and Self-Reflection in the Arctic (1576-1578) by Sophie Lemercier-Goddard

“…The “country people” were conveniently characterized as “savages” – with the specter of cannibalism of which they were suspected backing up the model of the civilized Englishman, a paragon of virtue and civility. Interaction with the Inuit at home and abroad reveals exploration to be an exercise in self-definition, the colonial space emerging as an indispensible space of self-reflection (S. …”

ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED GRAPHENE REINFORCED CIRCULAR PLATES SUBJECTED TO THERMO-MECHANICAL LOADS by MEI Jing, SHEN LuLu, YANG Bo

“…Based on the generalized Mian and Spencer plate theory,the problem of graphene reinforced functionally graded circular plates subjected to concentrated force and temperature field is studied. By virtue of the modified Halpin-Tsai model,the effects of temperature dependence and defect size of graphene nanoplatelets on the Young’s modulus of graphene reinforced composites are considered. …”

Energy-efficient cooperative sensing and transmission in relay-assisted cognitive radio network by Li FENG, Yu-jun KUANG, Bin-wei WU, Xin-chuan FU

“…An innovative EE-oriented cooperative sensing and transmission scheme in relay-assisted cognitive radio networks,called energy-efficient best-relay cooperative transmission (BCT) was proposed.Based on the BCT scheme,mean energy efficiency (MEE) maximization problem with sensing duration and transmitting power as optimization variables was modeled for fading channels under constraint of minimal secondary outage probability.By virtue of Jensen’s inequality,the original optimization problem was decomposed into two relatively independent subproblems which solved sensing duration and power allocation respectively.And for the two subproblems,an efficient cross iteration based algorithm was proposed to obtain the suboptimal solutions.Both analytical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposals can achieve significantly higher EE while enhancing reliability of secondary transmission remarkably compared to non-cooperation single cognitive transmission schemesin high QoS requirement.…”

Mission to people of other faiths in the Old Testament and Eldoret, Kenya: some reflections for engaging Muslims within their context by R. Omwenga

“… The election of biblical Israel in the Old Testament through Abraham and the mandate to represent God to other nations compare to Kenyan contexts of mission to people of other faiths by virtue of strengths and weaknesses. With an aim of providing reflections for contemporary practice, this article goes beyond these strengths and weaknesses by providing suggestions for how mission can be effectively undertaken in Eldoret, Kenya. …”

Anomaly intrusion detection based on modified SVM by Hui ZHANG, Cheng LIU

“…A modified SVM multi-classification algorithm integrated with discriminant analysis (D-SVM) was pro-posed,which could solve the problem of low detection accuracy and high false alarm rate caused by unbalanced datasets.For a multi-classification problem could be divided into several binary classification problems,D-SVM could not only have the virtue of high detection accuracy,but also have a low false alarm rate even confronted with unbalanced datasets.Experiments based on KDD99 dataset verify the feasibility and validity of the integrated ap-proach.Results show that when confronted with multi-classification problems,D-SVM could achieve a high detec-tion accuracy and low false alarm rate even when SVM alone fails because of the unbalanced datasets.…”
