宽带毫米波大规模MIMO系统中低复杂度波束域信道估计

针对宽带毫米波大规模MIMO系统信道估计精度低及实现复杂度较高的问题，在传统支撑检测方案的基础上提出一种基于Gauss-Seidel方法的串行支撑检测（GS-SSD）方案。该方案不使用共同支撑假设，参考串行干扰删除，将整体信道估计问题分解为一系列子问题，每个子问题仅考虑一个信道成分。同时，利用Gauss-Seidel方法近似高复杂度的矩阵求逆。仿真结果表明，相比于基于串行支撑检测（SSD）的方案， GS-SSD方案在将求逆复乘数降低一个数量级的同时可以取得接近SSD方案的信道估计性能。     

Domestic demand-side response with heat pumps: controls and tariffs

ABSTRACT

Electric heat pumps feature prominently in projected energy transitions in the UK and elsewhere. Owing to their high electricity consumption, heat pumps are viewed as important targets for demand-side response (DSR). Findings are presented from a field trial of a new control system that aims to optimize heat pump performance, including under time-varying tariff conditions. The trial involved monitoring 76 properties with heat pumps, but without dedicated heat storage; 31 of these received the control system. Interviews were conducted with a subsample of 12 participants. The controller successfully evened out electricity demand over the day (reducing the evening peak), but this was associated with increased late night and daytime temperatures. Interview participants reported some disturbance owing to overnight heating and noise, as well as usability issues with the controller interface and hardware. These issues present risks to the future acceptability of such systems. While the system delivered short-term demand reductions successfully, longer-term demand shifting risked causing unacceptable disturbance to occupants. Future control systems could overcome some of the issues identified in this pioneering trial through more effective zoning, using temperature caps or installing dedicated heat storage, but these may either limit the available flexibility or be challenging to achieve.     

伪标签置信选择的半监督集成学习视频语义检测

在视频语义检测中，有标记样本不足会严重影响检测的性能，而且伪标签样本中的噪声也会导致集成学习基分类器性能提升不足。为此，提出一种伪标签置信选择的半监督集成学习算法。首先，在三个不同的特征空间上训练出三个基分类器，得到基分类器的标签矢量；然后，引入加权融合样本所属某个类别的最大概率与次大概率的误差和样本所属某个类别的最大概率与样本所属其他各类别的平均概率的误差，作为基分类器的标签置信度，并融合标签矢量和标签置信度得到样本的伪标签和集成置信度；接着，选择集成置信度高的样本加入到有标签的样本集，迭代训练基分类器；最后，采用训练好的基分类器集成协作检测视频语义概念。该算法在实验数据集UCF11上的平均准确率到达了83.48%，与Co-KNN-SVM算法相比，平均准确率提高了3.48个百分点。该算法选择的伪标签能体现样本所属类别与其他类别的总体差异性，又能体现所属类别的唯一性，可减少利用伪标签样本的风险，有效提高视频语义概念检测的准确率。

A priori risk-informed approach to ensure the compliance with discharge limits for liquid radioactive effluent to be discharged from APR 1400

ABSTRACT

In order to develop a methodology to guarantee the conformance to operational discharge limits for liquid effluent from a NPP at an early stage of design, a risk-informed approach was proposed and its applicability was verified for APR 1400. Existing methodology to calculate risk-based detection limit for a single radionuclide was improved by incorporating a new model to derive more realistic pathway dose factors. A new simple expression was also proposed to adjust risk-based detection limits for multiple radionuclides mixture if necessary. In addition, a new procedure to warrant the compliance with discharge limits by controlling detection limits of only a few principal radionuclides was established in accordance with risk-informed concept. Through case studies for APR 1400 to be commissioned at a hypothetical site, it was shown that calculated pathway dose factors are more realistic for majority of radionuclides. It also turns out that neither present detection limits nor unadjusted risk-based detection limits can be justified when the radionuclide composition is unknown, however further adjustment of detection limits or increasing additional dilution factor resolves the problem. Finally, ten principal radionuclides were identified and shown to be enough for liquid effluent control at APR 1400 from a risk-informed point of view.     

Compilation of Modern Technologies To Map Genome-Wide Cytosine Modifications in DNA

Over the past few decades, various DNA modification detection methods have been developed; many of the high-resolution methods are based on bisulfite treatment, which leads to DNA degradation, to a degree. Thus, novel bisulfite-free approaches have been developed in recent years and shown to be useful for epigenome analysis in otherwise difficult-to-handle, but important, DNA samples, such as hmC-seal and hmC-CATCH. Herein, an overview of advances in the development of epigenome sequencing methods for these important DNA modifications is provided.

Effect of ZnO/K2O ratio on the crystallization sequence and microstructure of lithium disilicate glass-ceramics

The effect of ZnO/K₂O (Z/K) ratio on the crystallization sequence and microstructure of lithium disilicate (Li₂Si₂O₅: LS2) glass-ceramics was carefully investigated for the SiO₂-Li₂O-K₂O-ZnO-P₂O₅ system. The Z/K ratios of precursor glasses were varied from 0 to 3.5 while the nucleating agent of P₂O₅ and glass modifiers of ZnO plus K₂O were fixed to have 1.5 and 4.5 mol% relative to LS2, respectively. For the samples prepared by two-stage heat treatments of 500 °C for 1 h and 800 °C for 2 h in air, the LS2 nucleation rate was increased with increasing the Z/K ratio due to the variation in crystallization sequence from type II (Li₂SiO₃: LS) to type I (LS + LS2) in addition to an amorphous phase separation in base glass. Consequently, with increasing the Z/K ratio, the LS2 crystalline phase within the glass matrix continuously changed from larger acicular ones to smaller equiaxed ones.     

Looking into the TESSERACT: Time-drifts in event streams using series of evolving rolling averages of completion times

Business processes are dynamic and change due to diverse factors. While existing approaches aim to detect drifts in the process structure, Tesseract looks for temporal drifts in activity interim times. This orthogonal view on the process extends the traditional data cube of events – case id, activities and timestamps – by a fourth dimension and improves the operational support by a visualization of temporal drifts in real-time.Insights about temporal deviations lead to an augmented awareness of imminent failures or improved service times. The detection of related structural concept drifts can be improved by early warning, as operation times of critical parts often increase before they catastrophically fail.
