Debris management after earthquake incidence in ancient City of Ray by L. Askarizadeh, A.R. Karbassi, M.B. Ghalibaf, J. Nouri

“…A set of factors, including diversity of the existing wastes, separation of the recyclable wastes, and allocation of the best place and route for debris disposal in the shortest time and with the shortest distance in the street network, were presented and considered in the analyses. Finally, it was concluded that debris management is not only a logistic activity, but also it is an inseparable part of the post-accident recovery process.…”

Two 2-D DOA Estimation Methods with Full and Partial Generalized Virtual Aperture Extension Technology by Riheng Wu, Yangyang Dong, Zhenhai Zhang, Le Xu

“…For the sparse reconstruction method, first, we give a lemma to verify that the received data model is equivalent to its dictionary-based sparse representation under certain mild conditions, and the uniqueness of solutions is guaranteed by assuming azimuth and elevation indices to lie on different rows and columns of sparse signal cross-correlation matrix; we then derive two kinds of data models to reconstruct sparse 2-D DOA via M-FOCUSS with and without compressive sensing (CS) involvements; finally, the numerical simulations validate the proposed approaches outperform the existing methods at a low or moderate complexity cost.…”
