Robust transmission algorithm for IRS-assisted NOMA network with hardware impairments and imperfect CSI by Qilie LIU, Jiacheng FANG, Yanan XIN, Qianbin CHEN

“…To improve the robustness and reduce the energy consumption of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks, based on hardware impairments (HWI) of transceiver and non-perfect channel state information (CSI), an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted transmission power minimization algorithm for NOMA networks was proposed.The joint optimization problem of active beam assignment at the base station and passive beam assignment at the IRS was modeled based on HWI and non-perfect CSI.The system considered the user quality of service (QoS) constraint, the serial interference cancellation constraint and the reflection phase shift constraint of the IRS.To solve this nonconvex optimization problem, the QoS constraints were firstly transformed using linear approximation and S-Procedure methods.Then the optimization problem was decomposed into two subproblems.The active beam assignment subproblem was solved using the successive convex approximation (SCA) method.The passive beam assignment subproblem was solved using the penalized convex-concave process algorithm.Finally, the final solution was obtained by iterating the subproblems alternately using alternating optimization.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces 17.05% compared to the or thogonal multiple access robust algorithm in terms of transmitted power.In terms of system robustness, the proposed algorithm improves by 20.69% and 31.14% compared to the HWI robust algorithm and the CSI robust algorithm, respectively.…”

STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LARGE WIND TURBINE COMPOSITE BLADE BASED ON BEND-TWIST COUPLING by ZHANG Li, MIAO WeiPao, LI Chun, YAN YangTian, LIU QingSong, WANG Bo

“…The skin-coupled blades have the best load reduction effect when θ=20°; the shear stress of the BTC blades are mostly higher than that of the traditional blades, only the maximum shear stress of the skin-coupled blades θ=20° is lower than that of traditional blades; the bend-twist coupling characteristics of the blades have a certain impact on its stability. The critical buckling load of spar cap-coupled blades have a large decrease, while other BTC blades have a slight increase, and the amount of the first-order buckling deformation is lower than traditional blades.…”

Movimiento Loco en España. De las políticas del reconocimiento y el debate por la cuestión del esencialismo loco by Martín Correa-Urquiza, Rafael Huertas

“…El texto plantea una serie de variables analíticas y conceptos que permiten una aproximación a este Movimiento en España como un espacio político de construcción en común para producir testimonio y conocimiento que habiliten otras posibilidades de comprensión de la experiencia social del sufrimiento psíquico. Propone un itinerario que permite observar el fenómeno como un territorio de disputa, diálogo y escucha social que deriva en la promoción de una conciencia crítica; como un intento de emancipación, como una instancia en donde las personas renuncian a ser objetos de intervención de los saberes expertos para devenir sujetos en sus propios proyectos vitales. …”
