Effets de sens dérivés de la qualification adjectivale by Christopher Desurmont

“…The aim here is to show that a full interpretation of adjectival qualification needs to take into account semantic components over and above the “surface meaning” (or denotation): the positional properties of the attributive adjective; representation in terms of sets and subsets; interpretation of the qualifying adjective (here: the adjective nice) filtered through a positional property and the relevant components of its environment; interpretation of participle adjectives (slanting rain, enclosed garden) in terms of argument structure and semantic roles.…”

Beamforming design for energy-constrained full-duplex two-way relaying system by Wei WANG, Liyuan AN, Guoan ZHANG, Shibing ZHANG

“…A beamforming design was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.A utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the harvested energy by jointly optimizing the beamforming matrix,the power splitting ratio at the relay and the transmit powers at the sources.Since the formulated joint optimization problem was nonconvex,it was difficult or even intractable to obtain the global optimal solution.To overcome this issue,the objective problem into three subproblems was decoupled which could be solved by the proposed semidefinite relaxation technique and the derived constraints activation solution,respectively.The solution was finally obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimization scheme achieves the optimal performance.Compared with the traditional half-duplex (HD) algorithm,the proposed algorithm can obtain 2~3 times energy harvesting (EH) efficiency improvement,while the computational complexity increases slightly.…”
