Secondary throughput maximization scheme for non-linear energy harvesting cognitive radio networks by Haijiang GE, Ning JIA, Kaikai CHI, Yunzhi CHEN

“…Aiming at a cognitive radio network (CRN) consisting of a pair of primary users and M pairs of secondary users, the secondary throughput maximization for CRN based on the non-linear energy harvesting model was studied.Specifically, in the case of considering secondary transmitter (ST) circuit power, the secondary throughput maximization (STM) problem with primary users’ throughput demands was first modeled as a non-linear optimization problem and then transformed into a convex optimization problem.Finally, a low-complexity algorithm combining the golden section and dichotomy was proposed.By applying this low-complexity algorithm, the optimal time allocation of the primary transmitter (PT)’s energy transmission and secondary users’ information transmission, and the optimal transmission power of PT were obtained.In addition, for the case of neglecting the ST circuit power, the convex property of the STM problem was first proved, and then a more efficient algorithm was designed to solve it.The simulation results show that compared with the equal time allocation method and the link gain priority method, the proposed design algorithm significantly improves the throughput of secondary users.…”

IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON THE STRUCTURE OF MATHEMATICAL ABILITIES OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF MATHEMATICAL PROFILE by E. V. Emelianova

“…The following hypothesis was proposed: the use of information technology affects the positive trend in the development of all components of mathematical abilities, and especially on general synthetic component due to the harmonious combination of two sub-components: verbal-logical and visual-figurative. We used a modified methodic, which is a shortened version of tasks classification of V.A. …”

Population level inference for multivariate MEG analysis. by Anna Jafarpour, Gareth Barnes, Lluis Fuentemilla, Emrah Duzel, Will D Penny

“…This approach can also be applied to CVA models with a fixed number of canonical vectors but supplied with different feature sets. We illustrate the method by identifying feature sets based on variable-dimension MEG power spectra in the primary visual cortex and fusiform gyrus that are maximally discriminative of data epochs before versus after visual stimulation.…”

Adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion for language recognition by Zhong-fu YE, Ting QI, Sai-feng LI, Yan SONG

“…In order to alleviate the mismatch in model between training and testing samples caused by inter-language variations,adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion was proposed for language recognition.The local distance-based outlier factor (LDOF) criterion was defined to find the appropriate model parameters and dynamically select the training data subset similar to the testing samples from multiple class training sets.Then original back-end was adjusted to obtain a more matched recognition model.Experimental results on NIST LRE 2009 easily-confused language data set show that proposed method achieves an obvious performance improvement on both the equal error rate (ERR) and average decision cost function.…”
