xStripeMerge: efficient wide stripe generation approach based on erasure coding storage by Meiguang ZHENG, Taofei HUA, Xinyu ZHANG, Zhigang HU

“…To address the issue of wide stripe generation in existing erasure coding storage systems, where storage scaling approaches resulted in a significant increase in wide stripe generation bandwidth and stripe merge scheme was constrained by dual-stripes, an efficient wide stripe generation approach was proposed for the wide stripe generation problem under multi stripes merging.Two key operators for the multi-stripes merging progress were defined, and the wide stripe generation problem was modeled as a combinatorial optimization problem.The efficient wide stripe generation approach xStripeMerge was proposed that prioritize the search for narrow-stripes combining schemes with small parity block transmission costs.Experimental results show that xStripeMerge can reduce the wide stripe generation bandwidth by 75% compared to the advanced storage scaling method.The time and space complexity of xStripeMerge is much better than that of the extended dual-stripes merge approach.xStripeMerge can get the wide stripe generation scheme with similar performance in a shorter period of time and it is also suitable for large-scale storage systems.…”

Low error floor LT coding algorithm by using fixed-length node classification window by Xin SONG, Naiping CHENG, Shuyan NI, Yurong LIAO, Tuofeng LEI

“…To solve the problem of high error floor for LT codes in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, an improved coding scheme was designed.A fixed-length classification window was used to sort out the information nodes with relatively small degrees.Then these nodes would be forced to participate in the coding process frequently, so that they could obtain sufficiently high reliability.To design the optimal parameters, firstly, the bit error rate (BER) performance of LT codes and the cause of the error floor were analyzed, and the theoretical BER lower bound was introduced as the first constraint.Secondly, the extrinsic information gain loss ratio (GLR) was designed to measure the convergence behavior of the improved LT code, and maximizing the GLR was denoted as the second constraint.Finally, the influence of different parameters on algorithm efficiency and coding complexity were analyzed, and the principle of priority selection of parameters was pointed out as the third constraint.The simulation results show that compared with the conventional LT code, the proposed algorithm can reduce the error floor by nearly three orders of magnitude.Besides, the designed LT code outperforms the existing LT codes in literature in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance.…”

Technological change in the wine market? The role of QR codes and wine apps in consumer wine purchases by Lindsey M. Higgins, Marianne McGarry Wolf, Mitchell J. Wolf

“…While disruption appears to have occurred on the supply side (number of wine applications available and the number of wine labels with a QR code), this research suggests that relatively little change is occurring on the demand side (a relatively small segment of the population—those already interested in wine—are employing the technology to aid in their purchase decision).…”

Understanding Epistatic Interactions between Genes Targeted by Non-coding Regulatory Elements in Complex Diseases by Min Kyung Sung, Hyoeun Bang, Jung Kyoon Choi

“…Genome-wide association studies have proven the highly polygenic architecture of complex diseases or traits; therefore, single-locus-based methods are usually unable to detect all involved loci, especially when individual loci exert small effects. Moreover, the majority of associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms resides in non-coding regions, making it difficult to understand their phenotypic contribution. …”

Channel Coding QoS Analysis in 5G V2X Dynamic Propagation Models by Dimitrios Chatzoulis, Costas Chaikalis, Apostolos Xenakis, Dimitrios Kosmanos, Kostas E. Anagnostou

“…Through these simulations we investigate the frame error rate (FER) performance and QoS efficiency of the V2X dynamic propagation models which are achieved by the 4G-LTE and 5G-NR channel coding schemes. Our analysis introduces novel large-scale V2X fading models and ultimately proves that turbo-based coding schemes have superior performance for small-frame 5G V2X communication.…”
