New linearization and reweighting for simulations of string sigma-model on the lattice by L. Bianchi, V. Forini, B. Leder, P. Töpfer, E. Vescovi

“…In this setup we study bosonic and fermionic correlators and observe a divergence in the latter, which we argue — also via a one-loop analysis in lattice perturbation theory — to originate from the U(1)-breaking of our Wilson-like discretization for the fermionic sector.…”

Probe Selection and Power Weighting in Multiprobe OTA Testing: A Neural Network-Based Approach by Yong Li, Hao Sun, Xingyu Chen, Lijian Xin, Xiang Zhang

“…In this paper, a novel approach based on neural networks (NNs) is proposed to derive suitable angular locations as well as power weights of OTA probe antennas; in particular, by using the regularization technique, active probe locations and their weights can be optimized simultaneously with only one training process of the proposed NN. Simulations demonstrate that compared with the convex optimization-based approach to perform probe selection in the literature, e.g., the well-known multishot algorithm, the proposed NN-based approach can yield similar channel emulation accuracy with significantly reduced computational complexity.…”

Pyoderma Gangrenosum Mimicking an Infected Wound following Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation by Metin Nizamoglu

“…Biopsy of the lesion does not offer a definitive diagnosis; therefore suspicion must be maintained as the diagnosis is ultimately a clinical one. Any postoperative pustular ulcerative lesion not improving despite antibiotic therapy that also yields negative bacteriological and fungal studies should lead to consideration of this diagnosis. …”

Anonymity handover authentication protocol based on group signature for wireless Mesh network by Bin-ting SU, Li XU, Feng WANG, NZhi-xing LI

“…In order to ensure that the Mesh network mobile client video,voice and other real-time strong applications without interruption,a secure and efficient handover authentication was very important.To protect the privacy of mobile nodes,an anonymity handover authentication protocol was proposed based on group signature for wireless mesh network.Compared with other handover authentication protocols based on group signature,the proposed scheme did not involve the group signature correlation operation,and the group signature algorithm was only carried out on the router.The pro-posed protocol not only enhances the security but also performs well in authentication efficiency and privacy-preserving.…”
