A SIC and ML approach for MIMO non-orthogonal multiple access signal detection by Arun Kumar, Nishant Gaur, Aziz Nanthaamornphong

“…One of the top candidates for an enhanced radio architecture is Optical Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (O-NOMA), which is based on Multiple inputs and Multiple Outputs (MIMO). The identification of signals at the receiver terminal is more difficult due to the employment of a lot of antennas. …”

3D convective flow in a hybrid nanofluid filled bi-truncated-pyramid equipped with adiabatic cylinders by Mohammed A. Almeshaal

“…Concerning the adiabatic cylinders, it was found that the optimal cylinder diameter is D = 0.15, (balance between flow disturbance and heat transfer rate). The outputs of the current study are valuable in the optimization of the hybrid nanofluid applications for advanced thermal management solutions.…”

Model-Based Sensitivity Analysis on Aerosol Optical Thickness Prediction by Bo Han, Xiaowei Gao, Xiaohui Cui

“…In this paper, we proposed a support vector regression (SVR) model-based sensitivity analysis approach to order 35 MODIS input attributes according to their sensitivity to prediction outputs. Next, the attribute sensitivity orders are used for feature selection in the context of regression by removing insensitive attribute one at a time or by removing attributes whose sensitive orders are larger than number k . …”

Research on adaptive optimization of KNN-DBSCAN parameters based on MDT overlapping coverage data by Lu LIU, Ruijie CHEN, Jia LI

“…In the traditional network optimization, the drive test (DT) work has obvious disadvantages, such as difficult to fully test roads and buildings, large test workload, low work efficiency, long cycle, affected by human factors, unable to dynamically pay attention to the network quality of each area, and the conventional measurement report (MR) data does not have positioning information, so it is impossible to accurately locate the location where the overlapping coverage problem occured.Based on minimization drive test (MDT), the precision positioning system collected the MDT data of the underlying base station and outputted the grid with high overlapping coverage according to the overlapping coverage algorithm.Then, the sensitivity of DBSCAN algorithm to parameter setting was solved through the adaptive K-nearest neighbor density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (KNN-DBSCAN)joint algorithm.The problem grid was unsupervised clustered, the problem contiguous area was converged, and the grid area was mapped through the cell sampling contribution.Finally, the global top cell was accurately adjusted to optimize the high overlap coverage.…”

Precedent predictions and present practice by Elnerine Greef

“…This notwithstanding, many organisations still think that occupational safety is an ethical consideration that either impedes or hampers business outputs. This notion is one that stakeholder theory regards to be a fallacy, specifically the separation fallacy, one that is in need of rejection and replacement by the integrated thesis, which proposes that the term business ethics no longer be seen as an oxymoron but rather as tautology. …”

Kinematics Analysis of the Circuit Board Gripper Mechanism by Wan Qiuli, Ji Houhong, Liu Yu

“…The kinematics simulation analysis of the mechanism is carried out after defining the connecting rod and the kinematic pair, and giving the motion control function of the driving part, etc. in the UG software; the corresponding motion parameter curve is outputted at the same time. It can be shown that the motion analyses are completely consistent under both the Matlab and the UG environments; strong theoretical support for practical application of the gripper is provided by this motion analysis. …”

A FEW PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS ON INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE by Paul-George BUTA

“…The most relevant from a copyright infringement perspective seem to be: (1) the distinction between inputs and outputs, i.e., the data the model is trained on and the product of the model; and (2) the existence of different models, each with a different level of human involvement and the existence, within each such model, of component algorithms, each with a different level of human input and relative importance of such. …”

Trajectory planning of UUV-assisted UWOC systems based on DQN by Jiawei HU, Xiaoqian LIU, Xinke TANG, Yuhan DONG

“…As a key submarine-based communication platform, unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) can facilitate underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC).However, fluctuating characteristics of water body, different water qualities, multi-user access present challenges to UUV-assisted UWOC systems, which could be alleviated by an appropriate path planning to maximize the system and each user performance.Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) technology was applied in the path planning of autonomous vehicles, a trajectory planning scheme for UUV-assisted UWOC systems was proposed.The UUV automatically decides the navigation direction through deep Q-network (DQN) method, thereby improving the communication capacity of the system and each user.The impact of distinct water qualities on the capacity enhancement was also investigated.Simulation results suggest that the outputted strategy of DQN can improve the link capacity of the system and each user.This capacity improvement in clear seawater is better than that in pure seawater but lower than that in coastal water.…”
