ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSMOS Survey: Properties of X-Ray- and SED-selected Active Galactic Nuclei in Bright Submillimeter Galaxies by Ryosuke Uematsu, Yoshihiro Ueda, David M. Alexander, A. M. Swinbank, Ian Smail, Carolina Andonie, Chian-Chou Chen, Ugne Dudzevičiūtė, Soh Ikarashi, Kotaro Kohno, Yuichi Matsuda, Annagrazia Puglisi, Hideki Umehata, Wei-Hao Wang

“…This fraction is almost consistent with the general galaxy population at z  ∼ 2, suggesting that major mergers are not necessarily required for the enhanced star formation in SMGs. We also identify $4{7}_{-15}^{+16}$ % of the AGN hosts as major merger candidates, which is about twice as high as that in the SMGs without AGNs. …”

L’Espagne et l’Europe communautaire : une vieille histoire de famille ? Du rêve d’union au mariage de raison by Isabelle Renaudet

“…This integration besides terminated a tradition of isolation, which kept Spain foreign to Europe for a long time. Its entrance into the European Community, which seemed essential on the political plan, and necessary on the diplomatic plan, thus took on a highly symbolic dimension for the Spanish society during the period of the transition. …”

Secure transmission for NOMA downlink based on short packet communication by Gangcan SUN, Shaoke ZHAO, Wanming HAO, Zhengyu ZHU

“…For the low-latency requirements of Internet of things (IoT) business, short packet communication (SPC) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) were combined to study the problem of secure transmission in the multi-user NOMA system with eavesdroppers.With the maximizing the secure throughput of weak uses as the objective, considering the user decoding error probability constraint, total power constraint and power allocation constraint, a low-complexity power allocation algorithm was proposed to realize secure transmission.In order to solve the problem caused by complex objective function formula and unreliable serial interference cancellation (SIC) technology, the proof that the compactness of the constraints was necessary to find the optimal solution.Under the constraint of maximum decoding error probability, the power constraint was transformed and calculated to obtain the strict limit of transmitting power for strong users, and the transmit power search set from base station to strong user was derived.Then, the one-dimensional search algorithm was used to allocate power resources to maximize the throughput of weak users.Simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the security throughput of weak users in the system.…”
