Optimized method of generating the spread-spectrum sequences based on Logistic-map by LIU Ping, YAN Chuan, HUANG Xian-gao

“…Based on the Logistic-map,an optimized method of generating the spread-spectrum sequences was proposed.An initial value was given and iterated in the Logistic map,then L bit qualification was done to every point,in this way,new spread spectrum sequence would be achieved by shorten.It was compared with conventional chaotic code and Gold code and finally simulated in the DS-CDMA systems.Experiment results show that the iterative times are reduced,the calculating speed is improved,the spread-spectrum sequences can be reshaped with any length and the number of these sequences is larger than Gold sequence in being.The best quantification order is got too.…”

Students’ Trust and Their Educational Trajectory after Graduation by I. S. Kuznetsov

“…The nature of trust refers not only to the psychological characteristics of a person, but also finds its roots in social relations. When studying educational trajectories this hallmark of trust makes it possible to shift the focus from socio-economic, institutional, gender, and psychological factors that are regularly in the field of researchers’ attention to relational ones, which appear relatively rarely in their field of interest. …”
