Prediction of the Remaining Service Life of Reinforced Concrete Structures by I. A. Terekhov, N. N. Trekin, E. N. Kodysh

“…The main indicators of durability, which characterize the time of operation of the structure before the onset of an emergency condition, are the total service life and the remaining service life, the determination of which allows a more reasonable approach to the issue of planning current or major repairs in the building. The most common engineering techniques that allow predicting the remaining service life for reinforced concrete structures are considered: according to standard terms and analogous objects, according to external signs, based on changes in reserve coefficients and strength criteria. …”

Modified absolute value cumulating spectrum sensing algorithm in cognitive radio by Zhiyong HE

“…Absolute value cumulating (AVC) algorithm is a common spectrum sensing method in Laplacian noise (LED) surroundings,however,the ‘spikes or outliers' in Laplacian noise can't be fully smoothed,which results in bad detection performance.Aiming at this problem,an modified AVC spectrum sensing algorithm was proposed.The principle was to do the processing of the absolute value of the received signal and the processing result was accumulated as the test statistic to determine whether there was the main user and realize the spectrum sensing.In addition,the central limit theorem was used to deduce the probability density curve of the proposed test statistic in the absence of the primary user,and the theoretical decision threshold was given.Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the AVC sensing algorithm and energy detection algorithm with Laplacian noise about 1 dB and 4 dB respectively.…”
