Green 5G ultra-dense wireless heterogeneous networks:guidelines,techniques,and challenges by Yuzhou LI, Tao JIANG, Yang CAO, Zan LI

“…Ultra-dense wireless heterogeneous network (Ud-HetNet) has been recognized as one of the most promising 5G network-organization techniques to significantly improve the wireless capacity and thus solve the 1 000× data challenge faced by cellular networks.However,counter to the expected 5G vision,although benefiting from the spectrum efficiency (SE) improvement,ultra-dense network deployment significantly increases system energy consumption and thus decreases network energy efficiency (EE).The key theories and techniques for energy-efficiently deploying Ud-HetNet were investigated from two aspects of macroscopic network matching and microscopic resource aggregation by exploiting their overall network management capabilities and network diversity effects.Specifically,the overall design guidelines for green evolution were introduced firstly,and then three techniques,namely load-aware base station on/off switching,proactive caching,and interference-aware cross-network resource allocation,were proposed to improve the network EE.Open issues and challenges that need to be further explored were also discussed.…”

Research on Underwater Sound Source Localization Based on NLM-EEMD and FCM-Generalized Quadratic Correlation by Shizhe Wang, Zongji Li, Pingbo Wang, Yuchen Sun

“…In order to meet the needs of high-precision underwater positioning, this article studies a time delay estimation method based on nonlocal mean-enforced mean empirical mode decomposition (NLM-EEMD) autocorrelation denoising preprocessing and fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM)-generalized quadratic for underwater sound source localization technology. The theories such as NLM, EEMD, FCM, and generalized quadratic correlation delay estimation are studied in detail, and the speech signal of the test library in the TIMIT standard library is selected for simulation analysis, which verifies the correctness of the delay estimation method. …”

A classroom study on the perception and production of Basque sibilant fricatives by native speakers of English by Ander Beristain

“…Acoustically, the first two sounds share similarities with English /s/ and /ʃ/, respectively. L2 phonology theories posit that learners will map the production and perception of L2 sounds to (similar) sounds in their native language. …”

Towards a cyber ecology by Carlo Ratti, Daniele Belleri

“…In the design practice CRA – Carlo Ratti Associati’s firsthand work with exhibitions and experiments across the globe, often developed in collaboration with Italo Rota, we have explored two main strategies: animating the artificial with distributed computing or literally incorporating natural elements in design. Our theories are coming from our daily practice, which in turn demands new political, ecological, and evolutionary frameworks to understand the task before us.…”

Deciphering consciousness: The role of corticothalamocortical interactions in general anesthesia by Yuxi Zhou, Shiqian Huang, Tianhao Zhang, Daling Deng, Li Huang, Xiangdong Chen

“…General anesthesia is administered to millions of individuals each year, however, the precise mechanism by which it induces unconsciousness remains unclear. While some theories suggest that anesthesia shares similarities with natural sleep, targeting sleep-promoting areas and inhibiting arousal nuclei, recent research indicates a more complex process. …”

Formfunktionen der Sonatenform. Ein Beitrag zur Sonatentheorie auf der Grundlage einer Kritik an William E. Caplins Verständnis von Formfunktionen by Ulrich Kaiser

“…. // This essay offers a critical view of a frequently adopted understanding of the term ›formal function‹, which had been established in North America in response to the theories of Erwin Ratz. Applying this critical view to the formal functions ›main theme‹, ›transition‹, ›subordinate theme‹, and ›closing section‹, an alternative concept for the musical analysis of sonata form is developed and illustrated with compositions from the second half of the eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century.…”
