Asynchronous cooperative communication systems:A survey on signal designs

Cooperative communications is a promising technique for future high speed wireless communications.These systems may be formulated as virtual multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems where spatial/cooperetive diversity is a key advantage. However,different from MIMO systems,one of the major chal- lenges for cooperative communications systems is that the cooperative transmissions in cooperative systems may be neither time nor frequency synchronized,since the transmissions are from multiple cooperative nodes at...     

The effects of different roster schedules on sleep in miners

Shiftwork involving early morning starts and night work can affect both sleep and fatigue. This study aimed to assess the impact of different rostering schedules at an Australian mine site on sleep and subjective sleep quality. Participants worked one of four rosters;

4 × 4 (n = 14) 4D4O4N4O

7 × 4 (n = 10) 7D4O7N40

10 × 5 (n = 17) 5D5N50

14 × 7 (n = 12) 7D7N70

Sleep (wrist actigraphy and sleep diaries) was monitored for a full roster cycle including days off. Total sleep time (TST) was longer on days off (7.0 ± 1.9) compared to sleep when on day (6.0 ± 1.0) and nightshifts (6.2 ± 1.6). Despite an increase in TST on days off, this may be insufficient to recover from the severe sleep restriction occurring during work times. Restricted sleep and quick shift-change periods may lead to long-term sleep loss and associated fatigue.     

Synchronization of complex dynamical networks under recoverable attacks

In this paper, the synchronization of complex dynamical networks (CDNs) under ‘successful’ but recoverable attacks is studied by utilizing the framework of switching systems. ‘Successful’ attacks refer to a class of attacks that break a network into a group of isolated clusters. Recoverable attacks refer to a class of attacks that the network can recover from after a period of time. To facilitate the investigation of the synchronization of a CDN under ‘successful’ but recoverable attacks, the attack frequency and the average recovering time are introduced. By using a piecewise Lyapunov function, the upper bounds of the attack frequency and the average recovering time are obtained to ensure that the whole network can achieve global synchronization under attacks.     

Modified criterion for global asymptotic stability of fixed-point state-space digital filters using two’s complement arithmetic

A criterion for the global asymptotic stability of fixed-point state-space digital filters using two’s complement arithmetic is presented. The criterion is a modified form of a well-known criterion due to Mills, Mullis, and Roberts. The criterion is in the form of linear matrix inequality and, hence, computationally tractable. An example shows the effectiveness of the modified criterion.     

Comparative study on classifying human activities with miniature inertial and magnetic sensors

This paper provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human activities that are performed using body-worn miniature inertial and magnetic sensors. The classification techniques implemented and compared in this study are: Bayesian decision making (BDM), a rule-based algorithm (RBA) or decision tree, the least-squares method (LSM), the k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k-NN), dynamic time warping (DTW), support vector machines (SVM), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Human activities are classified using five sensor units worn on the chest, the arms, and the legs. Each sensor unit comprises a tri-axial gyroscope, a tri-axial accelerometer, and a tri-axial magnetometer. A feature set extracted from the raw sensor data using principal component analysis (PCA) is used in the classification process. A performance comparison of the classification techniques is provided in terms of their correct differentiation rates, confusion matrices, and computational cost, as well as their pre-processing, training, and storage requirements. Three different cross-validation techniques are employed to validate the classifiers. The results indicate that in general, BDM results in the highest correct classification rate with relatively small computational cost.

A new discretized Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional for stability analysis and control design of time‐delayed TS fuzzy systems

This paper proposes a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional to cope with stability analysis and control design for time‐delay nonlinear systems modeled in the Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy form. The delay‐dependent conditions are formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), solvable through several numerical tools. By using the Gu's discretization technique and by employing an appropriated fuzzy functional, less conservative conditions are obtained. Numerical results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methods. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
