Wiener models of direction-dependent dynamic systems

Analysis of systems with direction-dependent dynamics is currently limited to cases in which the dynamics in the two directions of the output are first order; results for such systems have been published for both pseudo-random maximum-length binary (MLB) and inverse-repeat maximum-length binary (IR-MLB) inputs. These relatively limited analytical results make it useful to examine alternative ways of modelling such systems and in this paper, Wiener models are considered for this purpose. Methods for optimising the Wiener model parameters by matching the system and model cross-correlation functions, outputs, and discrete Fourier transforms of the outputs are considered, and the results are compared. These methods are also applied to a first-order direction-dependent system with a maximum-length ternary (MLT) input, for which no analytical results are currently available, and to a second-order system with an IR-MLB input.     

数字混沌扩频序列的盲估计

混沌序列具有非线性、宽带类噪声、大的码族、任意长的周期且容易产生的特性,因此在扩频通信系统中很有实用价值。本文将文献[1]中对伪随机扩频序列盲估计的方法推广应用到混沌扩频通信中,并对其不足提出了改进方法。在只知道扩频码周期而无其它任何先验知识的条件下,利用特征值分析的方法可以对数字混沌直扩序列进行盲估计,仿真实验证明了该方法的有效性。     

Generalized null space uncorrelated Fisher discriminant analysis for linear dimensionality reduction

We propose a generalized null space uncorrelated Fisher discriminant analysis (GNUFDA) technique integrating the uncorrelated discriminant analysis and weighted pairwise Fisher criterion. The GNUFDA can effectively deal with the small sample-size problem and perform satisfactorily when the dimensionality of the null space decreases with increase in the number of training samples per class and/or classes, C. The proposed GNUFDA can extract at most C-1 optimal uncorrelated discriminative vectors without being influenced by the null-space dimensionality.     

Optimal and Suboptimal Quadriphase Sequences Derived from Maximal Length Sequences over Z _{{\bf 4}}

The paper presents families of quadriphase sequences derived from maximal length sequences over having good correlation properties. These are: (i) families of quadriphase sequences of period from maximal length sequences over ; each family consisting of sequences, (ii) families of quadriphase sequences of period from interleaved maximal length sequences over ; each family consisting of sequences. Such sequences are of interest in quadriphase modulated code division multiple access communication systems, where it is desirable to have large sets of sequences that possess low value of , the maximum magnitude of the periodic crosscorrelation and out of phase auto-correlation values. The sequences over are viewed as trace functions of appropriately chosen unit elements of Galois extension rings of . Quadriphase sequences are then obtained from sequences, by a quadriphase mapping, , from to roots of unity, given by, ; where and . Periodic correlation properties (correlation values and their distribution) of the quadriphase sequences are obtained by using an Abelian association scheme on the elements of the corresponding Galois extension ring of . The majority of the families of sequences derived are optimal with respect to the Welch lower bound on ; the rest being suboptimal with bounded by , where is the period\newpage of the sequences. However nearly half of the sequences in these families are balanced. Received July 18, 1995; revised version November 29, 1996

Focal Ischemic Injury to the Early Neonatal Rat Brain Models Cognitive and Motor Deficits with Associated Histopathological Outcomes Relevant to Human Neonatal Brain Injury

Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke is one of the more severe birth complications. The injury can result in extensive neurological damage and is robustly associated with later diagnoses of cerebral palsy (CP). An important part of efforts to develop new therapies include the on-going refinement and understanding of animal models that capture relevant clinical features of neonatal brain injury leading to CP. The potent vasoconstrictor peptide, Endothelin-1 (ET-1), has previously been utilised in animal models to reduce local blood flow to levels that mimic ischemic stroke. Our previous work in this area has shown that it is an effective and technically simple approach for modelling ischemic injury at very early neonatal ages, resulting in stable deficits in motor function. Here, we aimed to extend this model to also examine the impact on cognitive function. We show that focal delivery of ET-1 to the cortex of Sprague Dawley rats on postnatal day 0 (P0) resulted in impaired learning in a touchscreen-based test of visual discrimination and correlated with important clinical features of CP including damage to large white matter structures.     

无位置信息的无线传感器网络漏洞发现算法*

无线传感器网络广泛应用的前提是能够检监测目标区域特定事件的发生。而节点能量受限、难补给的特点导致监测性能难以保证,造成监测盲区出现。针对无线传感器网络节点的地理位置信息未知的情况进行了研究,提出覆盖漏洞发现算法CHDA (Coverage Holes Discovery Algorithm),在以节点为极点建立的极坐标中计算出相邻节点的相对位置信息和该节点被其邻居节点覆盖的边缘弧的信息,并且根据节点的单纯覆盖弧序列的定义计算出节点被其邻居节点覆盖的单纯覆盖弧序列,从而得到网络中的覆盖漏洞。覆盖漏洞的发现克服的地理位置信息未知的限制,为漏洞的修补提供了必要的前提条件进而保证传感器网络的覆盖率。     

Energy Efficiency of an Indirect Thermally Coupled Distillation Sequence

Several thermally coupled distillation sequences have been proposed to improve the thermal inefficiency of conventional distillation sequences. Particularly, for the separation of ternary mixtures, structures that perform a lateral extraction in one of the columns of the integrated arrangement have been shown to provide significant energy savings. The structure of existing sequences, based on conventional distillation columns, might provide the basis for alternate thermally coupled designs. In this paper, it is shown how a thermally coupled system derived from an indirect conventional sequence can provide energy savings through a proper optimization of the interconnecting streams.     

Fluoroelastomers-dependence of relaxation phenomena on composition

The dynamic-mechanical properties of some fluoroelastomers were determined as a function of composition at low frequency (≈ 1 Hz), by means of a free oscillation torsion pendulum, between −180°C and the softening point. Vinylidenefluoride (VDF)-hexafluoropropene (HFP) copolymers of molar composition 0–39% HFP and terpolymers of VDF and HFP with up to 30mol% tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and a constant VDF to HFP molar ratio of 3.4 were considered. Two relaxation processes typical of the amorphous phase were found. The first, located at about −87°C, is related to local motions and the transition temperature was found to be independent of composition for copolymers, while it depends on TFE molar content for terpolymers. The second is related to the glass transition and the transition temperature depends on the composition. However, for semicrystalline copolymers the double glass transition phenomenon was observed. When crystallinity goes to zero at about 20 mol% HFP, only one transition is observed. It was also found that ordered structures can take place for terpolymers when TFE molar concentration exceeds 20%. The crystal disorder transition of pure PVDF (75°C) is observed also for low HFP concentrations but the transition temperature is strongly reduced. Analogies between the VDF-HFP and E-P systems are also discussed.
