Capture-aware bit-detecting M-ary tree protocol for RFID tag identification by Lijuan ZHANG, Mingqiu FAN, Lei LEI, Yong WANG, Daishu YUAN

“…In passive radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, the capture effect may occur that the reader is possible to successfully decode the strongest signal when multiple tags reply simultaneously.In this situation, the weaker signals will be covered resulting in a tag hidden problem which greatly affects the system performance.To solve the problem, a bit-detecting M-ary tree (BMT) protocol was proposed.First, a bit-detecting tag number estimation method was proposed to estimate the number of tags and group them with a few slots.Next, an M-ary tree protocol was developed to eliminate all the idle slots and identify tags quickly.At the same time, a hash muting strategy was given to mute the identified tags and label the hidden ones with small communication cost.Both theoretic analysis and simulation results demonstrate that BMT can effectively reduce the identification delay by at least 15%.…”

Affine Discontinuous Galerkin Method Approximation of Second-Order Linear Elliptic Equations in Divergence Form with Right-Hand Side in L1 by Abdeluaab Lidouh, Rachid Messaoudi

“…Statements and proofs remain valid in our case, which permits obtaining a weaker result when the right-hand side is a bounded Radon measure and, when the coefficients are smooth, an error estimate in W01,qΩ when the right-hand side f belongs to LrΩ verifying Tkf∈H1Ω for every k>0, for some r>1.…”

Legal principles of the 1982 PIL Act, and filling the legal gaps in the Conflict of Laws matter in Serbian private international law: A different perspective by Marjanović Sanja

“…However, certain international sources of Serbian PIL have engendered an unusual effect of hierarchical relationship with statutory conflict-of-laws rules, thus generating a different perception of gap-fillers (i.e. nationality principle, weaker party protection). In the paper, the author examines these issues, considering (to some extent) how legal gaps emerge in this branch of law, as well as the limits of characterization.…”

Integrated Single-Cell and RNA Sequencing Analysis Identifies Key Immune Cell and Dendritic Cells Associated Genes Participated in Myocarditis by Qiang Gong, Jianfeng Huang, Qicai Wu

“…Among DC-correlated DEGs, Mmp12 was mainly expressed in monocyte cluster, and Gpnmb was mainly expressed in fibroblast cluster, whereas Atp6v0d2 expression has a weaker signal and weaker cell preference. In conclusion, DC infiltration and its associated pivotal genes may be responsible for progression of myocarditis. …”

Quantifying the ability of the CF2H group as a hydrogen bond donor by Matthew E. Paolella, Daniel S. Honeycutt, Bradley M. Lipka, Jacob M. Goldberg, Fang Wang

“…The CF2H group can act as a hydrogen bond donor, serving as a potential surrogate for OH or SH groups but with a weaker hydrogen bond donation ability. Here, we describe a series of CF2H group-containing moieties that facilitate hydrogen bond interactions. …”

Block-chain abnormal transaction detection method based on adaptive multi-feature fusion by Huijuan ZHU, Jinfu CHEN, Zhiyuan LI, Shangnan YIN

“…Aiming at the problem that the performance of intelligent detection models was limited by the representation ability of original data (features), a residual network structure ResNet-32 was designed to automatically mine the intricate association relationship between original features, so as to actively learn the high-level abstract features with rich semantic information.Low-level features were more transaction content descriptive, although their distinguishing ability was weaker than that of the high-level features.How to integrate them together to obtain complementary advantages was the key to improve the detection performance.Therefore, multi feature fusion methods were proposed to bridge the gap between the two kinds of features.Moreover, these fusion methods can automatically remove the noise and redundant information from the integrated features and further absorb the cross information, to acquire the most distinctive features.Finally, block-chain abnormal transaction detection model (BATDet) was proposed based on the above presented methods, and its effectiveness in the abnormal transaction detection is verified.…”

Analysis of the Structural Characteristics of the Online Social Network of Chinese Professional Athletes by Yue Wang, Qian Huang, Qiurong Wang, Yang Xun, Yujiao Tan, Shuqin Cui, Linxiao Ma, Penglin Huang, Meijuan Cao, Bin Zhang

“…Through the analysis of the online whole network structure, it was found that the network density of the online support network was generally greater than that of the online discussion network, and athletes still showed stronger practical support demands and behaved more rationally in the process of training and learning life, while from the perspective of the relationship structure, the athletes’ family and classmates’ online support is weaker than that in previous studies; in terms of the whole network, strong relationships still dominate in this population, while attention should be paid to the impact of weak relationships.…”
