Off‐grid DoA estimation method of wideband signals

In this paper, an off‐grid direction of arrival (DoA) estimation method is proposed for wideband signals. This method is based on the sparse representation (SR) of the array covariance matrix. Similar to the time domain DoA estimation methods, the correlation function of the sources was assumed to be the same and known. A new measurement vector is obtained using the lower‐left triangular elements of the covariance matrix. The DoAs are estimated by quantizing the entire range of continuous angle space into discrete grid points. However, the exact DoAs may be located between two grid points; therefore, this estimation has errors. The accuracy of DoA estimation is improved by the minimization of the difference between the new measurement vector and its estimated values. Simulation results revealed that the proposed method can enhance the DoA estimation accuracy of wideband signals.     

基于分段加权的反向稀疏跟踪算法研究

为提高稀疏表示跟踪模型性能，提出一种分段加权的反向稀疏跟踪算法，将跟踪问题转化为在贝叶斯框架下寻找概率最高的候选对象问题，构造不同的分段权重函数来分别度量候选目标与正负模板的判别特征系数。通过池化来降低跟踪结果的不确定性干扰，选择正负模板加权系数差值最大的候选表示作为跟踪结果。实验表明，在光照变化、遮挡、快速运动、运动模糊情况下，所提出的算法可以确保跟踪结果的准确性和鲁棒性。     

LPNN-based approach for LASSO problem via a sequence of regularized minimizations

In compressive sampling theory, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is a representative problem. Nevertheless, the non-differentiable constraint impedes the use of Lagrange programming neural networks (LPNNs). We present in this article the -LPNN model, a novel algorithm that tackles the LASSO minimization together with the underlying theory support. First, we design a sequence of smooth constrained optimization problems, by introducing a convenient differentiable approximation to the non-differentiable -norm constraint. Next, we prove that the optimal solutions of the regularized intermediate problems converge to the optimal sparse signal for the LASSO. Then, for every regularized problem from the sequence, the -LPNN dynamic model is derived, and the asymptotic stability of its equilibrium state is established as well. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to compare the performance of the proposed -LPNN algorithm with both the LASSO-LPNN model and a standard digital method.     

Superconductivity in nearly single-phase Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O samples with different nominal compositions

The preparation conditions, phase composition, and superconducting properties of Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu oxide materials from different nominal compositions have been investigated. Nearly single-phase samples from Bi₂Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₃Cu₄O _y , as well as from the proposed compositions Bi_1.8Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₃Cu₄O _y and Bi_1.8Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca_2.5Cu_3.5O _y were obtained by a solid-state reaction in air. Samples with the third nominal composition showed the best superconducting properties (T _on=111 K and zero resistance atT ₀=103 K). A possible mechanism for the 2223 phase formation in the three investigated compositions has been discussed.     

Al-Cu-Fe QUASICRYSTALLINE PHASE FORMATION BY MECHANICAL ALLOYING

Al-Cu-Fe alloys were prepared from elemental powders in a high-energy planetary ball mill. A sequence of solid state reactions resulting in quasicrystal (QC) phase formation takes place during heating of the as-milled powder. These reactions were studied by both differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction methods. Mechanically alloyed powders were consolidated by cold and hot pressing, as well as by explosive compaction. After annealing at sufficiently high temperatures, the consolidated samples are single-phase QC, except the ones consolidated by explosion. The high reactivity of the as-milled alloys causes the appearance of high porosity of the consolidated samples after the annealing.

将传统的波阻抗反演技术应用于井间地震资料反演时，存在着方法适用的域和资料的域不同，井间地震资料的频带比地震资料的频带宽以及频率比地震资料频率高，多对井间地震资料拼接等问题。为此，在胜利油田K71井区，探讨了利用传统波阻抗反演技术（稀疏脉冲反演）进行井间地震资料波阻抗反演的一些技术问题，并用利11对井间地震资料进行了波阻抗反演，获得了较好的反演结果，在井间地震资料反演中，采用匹配滤波方的井间地震资料转换到时间域；利用高分辨率地面三维地震资料，采用统计方法提取反演子波，子波的波形和相位较稳定，频带宽；对测井资料进行标准化处理，在反演的波阻抗剖面上砂体的空间展布形态清晰，对储层的描述更精细；利用时深转换模型，将时间域的波阻抗剖面转换到深度域，直接与测井资料进行对比分析，对储层的描述更直观可靠。     

Are Samples in Randomized Controlled Trials of Psychotherapy Representative of Community Outpatients? A New Methodology and Initial Findings.

To determine the extent to which published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of psychotherapy can be generalized to a sample of community outpatients, the authors used a method of matching information obtained from outpatient charts to inclusion and exclusion criteria from published RCT studies. They found that 80% of the patients in their sample who had diagnoses represented in the RCT literature were judged eligible for at least 1 published RCT; however, 58% of the patients had primary diagnoses such as adjustment disorder or dysthymia, which were not represented in the existing psychotherapy outcome literature. The most common reasons that patients in their sample did not match with published RCTs for psychotherapy are listed, and the implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed.
