Exploring the Factors That Influence Stakeholder Participation in Decision-Making for the Moat System Restoration Project in Tianchang City, China by Shihua Yan, Roziya Binti Ibrahim

“…Thus, the primary purpose of this investigation is to shed light on the complex interactions between the various drivers that underpin stakeholder participation in the context of the Moat System Restoration Project (MSRP). The extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) describes the relationships between seven drivers that have positively influenced stakeholder participation behaviors: stakeholder attitude, priority, risk perception, trust in government decisions, motivation, intention, and knowledge. …”

Soft Power: Political Use of A Scientific Concept by M. V. Kharkevich

“…The article discusses the use and transformation of the American scientific concept "soft power" in official Russian and US foreign policy rhetoric with the methodological help of Habermas' communicative action theory and its adoption to IR by T. Risse. In mainstream IR the proliferation of the "soft power" concept is viewed in terms of ideological competition among states. …”

A Real-Valued Negative Selection Algorithm Based on Grid for Anomaly Detection by Ruirui Zhang, Tao Li, Xin Xiao

“…And before adding the candidate detector into mature detector set, certain methods are adopted to reduce duplication coverage between detectors, which achieves fewer detectors covering the nonself space as much as possible. Theory analysis and experimental results demonstrate that GB-RNSA lowers the number of detectors, time complexity, and false alarm rate.…”

Dynamic and Static Properties of Aqueous NaCl Solutions at 25°C as a Function of NaCl Concentration: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study by Song Hi Lee

“…It is found that the MD result for Λm with Ewald sum parameter κ = 0.10 Å−1 gives the closest one to the experimental data and that the obtained radial distribution functions gii(r) with κ = 0.10 Å−1 show a dramatic change with a very deep minimum of gNaCl(r) and, as a result, sharp maxima of gNaNa(r) and gClCl(r) at the distance 9.95 Å, which indicates a characteristic of ionic atmosphere, the basis of the Debye–Hückel theory of ionic solutions. The static and dynamic properties of NaCl (aq) solutions are analyzed in terms of radial distribution functions, hydration numbers, coordination numbers around Na+ and Cl−, residence times of water around Na+ and Cl−, water diffusion, and ion-ion electrostatic energies to explain the behavior of the molar conductivity Λm of NaCl obtained from our MD simulations.…”

Graph signal processing based pilot pattern design and channel estimation for OFDM system by Bin HE, Guobing LI, Yuan CHEN, Guomei ZHANG

“…Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the key technologies in the physical layer of the internet of things (IoT).Pilot design and channel estimation are key issues in OFDM systems.In view of the problem of performance loss by fixed pilot pattern due to the complexity and variety of IoT communication scenarios, a pilot design and channel estimation scheme based on graph signal processing (GSP) was proposed.Firstly, the time-frequency resource block was modeled as a graph signal, and the channel estimation problem was reformulated into a sampling and reconstruction problem of the graph signal.Then, considering the influence of time-frequency fading, a weighted graph adjacency matrix was designed to construct a graph topology structure based on the time-frequency position.On this basis, the pilot position is selected based on the graph signal sampling theory, a greedy pilot pattern design algorithm based on weighted graph topology was proposed.At the same time, signal reconstruction was performed based on the graph signal reconstruction method, and a channel estimation method based on the graph smoothness constraint was proposed.Compared with the conventional scheme, simulation results show that the proposed method achieves higher channel estimation accuracy in high-speed scenarios of double selective channels, and effectively reduces pilot overhead in low-speed scenarios.…”

Open Space Worship: A Religious Identity of the Johane Masowe Chishanu Church in Zimbabwe by Phillip Musoni, Paul H. Gundani

“…In this article, we examine the veracity and provenance of this assumed identity by interrogating the church’s traditions, its relations with colonial authorities, and its theology of open spaces. Borrowing from the theory on identity formation (Dominelli 2002), our contention is that a combination of factors contributes to the JMCC’s continued practice of gathering for worship inopen spaces. …”
