HUMANITIES AND INTELLECTUAL ENVIRONMENTS by Andrey L. Andreev

“…Appealing to the experience of creative interactions the author redefines the ultimate aim of engineering education which, according to his view, cannot be reduced to the “production” of individual specialists but also includes the “output” of intellectual environments. The humanities and social knowledge play an important role in agglutination of such environments, so teaching these matters indirectly upgrades creativity in sciences and engineering.…”

Broadband receiver of narrowband signal based on the cascaded stochastic resonance by Cheng-guo HOU, Bo-wen LUO, Di LI

“…To improve the demodulation gain of traditional narrowband receiver,a narrowband signal receiving method of broadband based on cascaded stochastic resonance is proposed.On one hand,the noise in the signal is converted to the signal energy by the stochastic resonance operation on the received signal.On the other hand,by cascading stochastic resonance systems,the received signal is changed into square wave signal; and by constructing related sequences with prior information of received signal,the demodulation output has high gain.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that compared with the traditional approach,this method improves detection performance in terms of SNR by more than 3 dB.And for receiving SNR of QPSK in −7～1 dB,the gain increased is about 20 dB.…”

Research of discovering vulnerabilities of NFC applications on Android platform by Zhi-qiang WANG, Qi-xu LIU, Yu-qing ZHANG

“…To improve the security of NFC technology,a research is done for discovering NDEF vulnerabilities of NFC applications on Android platform,and a method of bug hunting is proposed on based Fuzzing technology.The method adopts manual craft,the generation and the mutation strategies to construct test cases,and uses two assistant means of analyzing and constructing test cases,including reverse message anylysis and packet sniffing.Then,NFC applications’ vulnerabilities with constructed test cases and output results are discovered.According to the method,a system called ANDEFVulFinder is developed for discovering the security vulnerabilities of NFC applications.The tool logcat and process monitoring are used to monitor targets’ exceptions during the discovering process,and the test is automated…”

Space-time coding scheme for the paired weak user in MIMO-NOMA systems by Mingyan GONG, Zhen YANG

“…In view of the paired weak user’s poor outage performance in multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA) systems,Alamouti code was adopted to encode for the weak user in order to improve its outage performance by means of diversity,and the closed-form expression of the strong user’s ergodic capacity as well as the boundary-form expressions of the weak user’s ergodic capacity and outage probability was derived in the proposed model.Moreover,a power allocation algorithm for optimizing the system’s throughput was proposed.Finally,the numerical results show the accuracy of the derived expressions,the efficacy of the proposed algorithm,and that the weak user’s outage performance in the proposed coding scheme is far superior to that in the current coding scheme only adopting vertical Bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) code.…”

Recommendation algorithm based on GMM clustering and FOA-GRNN model by Yipeng LI, Yeli RUAN, Jie ZHANG

“…Aiming at the problem of low recommendation accuracy caused by sparse data in traditional item-based recommendation algorithm,a recommendation algorithm based on GMM clustering and FOA-GRNN model is proposed.The algorithm firstly uses Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to cluster the item features,then constructs the score matrix according to the clustering results,and fills the score matrix with slope one algorithm.Finally,the user's score based on similarity prediction is taken as input,and the final score is output through FOA-GRNN model.Experimental results based on movielens-2k dataset show that the proposed algorithm can deal with highly sparse data better and has better recommendation accuracy than the other three algorithms.…”
