Accounting for Recent Changes of Gain in Dealing with Ties in Iterative Methods for Circuit Partitioning by Yong-Hyuk Kim, Yourim Yoon

“…In iterative methods for partitioning circuits, there is often a choice among several modules which will all produce the largest available reduction in cut size if they are moved between subsets in the partition. This choice, which is usually made by popping modules off a stack, has been shown to have a considerable impact on performance. …”

Identification of Saharan-Dust Intrusions over Sofia, Bulgaria, Using Near-Ground PM10 and PM2.5 Mass Concentration Measurements by Tsvetina Evgenieva, Elena Vakareeva, Ljuan Gurdev, Tanja Dreischuh

“…It was shown as well that during very intense Saharan dust intrusions over the region of Sofia (with dust load > 0.15–0.20 g m–2), the urban PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentrations noticeably increased, while the PM2.5/PM10 mass concentration ratio dropped down as a rule to values around 0.2 and below. The peculiarities found in the behavior of the particulate PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentrations contact-measured near the ground would allow one to recognize or confirm intense SD transport over Sofia and Sofia Valley.…”

Overview of research progress on blind separation methods for single channel communication signal by Wen DENG, Zhitao HUANG, Xiang WANG

“…Significant progress has been made in the research of single channel blind signal separation (SCBSS) methods, as the theoretical and practical applications of SCBSS technology have been continuously improved.A new classification framework for blind signal separation (BSS) of communication signal problems was proposed based on an analysis of a large number of academic research results from both domestic and international sources.The division of SCBSS problems into four levels: multi-signal waveform separation, single-signal waveform separation, multi-signal symbol sequence separation, and single-signal symbol sequence separation was determined by taking into consideration the demand for output results of BSS systems in different application scenarios.Subsequently, the research status of SCBSS methods was systematically reviewed.Furthermore, the current research status of data-driven SCBSS was summarized, and the problems and solutions that needed to be addressed in data-driven SCBSS technology were explored.Finally, several potential research directions for SCBSS were analyzed and forecasted.The aim is to provide a reference for the research and application of SCBSS.…”
