Analysis and simulation of QSP beamformer

The real Direction Of Arrival (DOA) varies with time in mobile communication system. In such situation, the performance of conventional beamformers will be degraded obviously. Quantum Signal Processing (QSP) beamformer is insensitive to DOA errors, thus it can achieve stable output performance in such circumstance. This letter verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the QSP beamformer by simulation results.

Detonation and Blast Wave Characteristics of Nitromethane Mixed with Particles of an Aluminium–Magnesium Alloy

Investigation of detonation parameters, blast wave characteristics and quasi‐static pressures (QSPs) for the mixtures of nitromethane and particles of an aluminium and magnesium (Al₃Mg₄) alloy was carried out. The mixtures of gelled nitromethane containing 15–60 wt.‐% Al Mg alloy were tested. Detonation velocity and Gurney energy were determined. Parameters of blast waves produced by charges of the investigated explosives were measured. QSP measurements were conducted in a steel chamber of 0.15 m³ volume filled with air. Thermochemical and gasdynamical calculations were also performed. The degree of combustion of the metallic addition with the gaseous products during detonation and expansion is discussed.

Gender focused training and knowledge enhances the adoption of climate resilient seeds

Adoption of any agricultural technology depends upon the way in which farmers are being informed about its benefits. Educational status, caste, gender and other social issues also play a significant role in the adoption process. To evaluate the impact of trainings on quality seed production, access to the climate resilient rice seeds, availability of information about seed sources and use of IRRI super bags, a randomized experimental research was carried out over a period of two years across five different states of India. The baseline and a follow-up survey was conducted to capture the farming practices followed by during wet seasons of 2016 and 2017, respectively. The impact of trainings, seed use, information given and agro-based goods was evaluated by comparing the adoption behaviour of treatment and control farmers. There was an increase (28.8%) in the practice of using salt solution to clean seeds primarily due to the impact of quality seed production (QSP) trainings. Female farmers responded more than the male farmers as number of women adopting the practice was higher than men. The impact of the trainings on farmers' knowledge and adoption of climate resilient/stress tolerant rice varieties (STRV) was also more pronounced on females than on male farmers. Farmers’ access to seeds substantially enhanced the adoption and reusability irrespective of the gender. Similarly, the information delivered to the farmers was quite economical in enhancing the awareness and adoption of climate resilient rice, but the effect was predominantly driven by female farmers. Female farmers performed relatively better with respect to the storing the new seeds in IRRI super bags. Thus, incentivising farmers in general and female farmers in particular can serve as a potential means to adopt agricultural technologies that have potential to boost rural economy and enhance the food security. The results are being supported by a rigorous empirical analysis.     

针对QSP算法的研究与分析

BM算法是经典的单模式匹配算法,QS算法是基于BM算法的改进算法,由于QS算法仅仅分析下一字符T[j+m]计算右移量,整体的匹配效率并不高,因此在QS算法的基础上提出一种改进算法(QSP). QSP算法在预处理阶段从左向右找出模式串中出现1次以上的单字符,计算出这些字符的跳转期望值差,得到最大差值和相对应的字符位置maxPos,并修改skipp2数组的值;在匹配阶段,首先比较P[maxPos]与T[j+maxPos]是否相等,然后再利用两个数组skipp1和skipp2进行右移,保证每次右移的距离达到最大.通过实验证明,该算法总的比较次数和运行时间都低于QS算法,匹配效率得到明显的提高.
