Impact of implicit feedback channel in cooperative relay networks by Madhukumar, A. S., James, Ashish, Tio, Surya Dharma, Kurniawan, Ernest

“…This paper studies the impact of such an implicit feedback channel by employing powerful codes which exhibit inherent incremental redundancy features, such as rate-compatible codes (rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes and punctured low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes) and rateless codes (Luby Transform (LT) codes). …”

An exploratory study on the development of a sensory wheel affiliated with the emotional lexicon for chrysanthemum infusion by Xia, Y, Hou, J, Chen, J, Spence, C, Qian, J, Zhao, F, Dong, G, Zhong, F

“…Additionally, consumer emotional responses to chrysanthemum infusion were assessed using the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method. By mapping the descriptive sensory data with emotional response data through Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), we identified sensory drivers that elicit specific emotional responses. …”

Ergativity in Tongan by Otsuka, Y

“…Following Chomsky (1993), I assume that a structural case is assigned by feature checking in a Spec-head configuration. I also assume that only one Agr can be active in intransitive constructions: Agrs in accusative languages and Agro in ergative languages (Bobaljik 1993). …”

Machine health monitoring using local feature-based gated recurrent unit networks by Zhao, Rui, Wang, Dongzhe, Yan, Ruqiang, Mao, Kezhi, Shen, Fei, Wang, Jinjiang

“…Experiments on three machine health monitoring tasks: tool wear prediction, gearbox fault diagnosis, and incipient bearing fault detection verify the effectiveness and generalization of the proposed LFGRU.…”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”

Electrochemical oxidation of C3 saturated alcohols on Co3O4 in alkaline by Sun, Shengnan, Sun, Libo, Xi, Shibo, Du, Yonghua, Anu Prathap, M.U., Wang, Zilong, Zhang, Qichun, Fisher, Adrian, Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…It was also found that the KOH concentration influenced electro-oxidation of those alcohols bearing secondary hydroxyl group (GLY, 1,2-P, and 2-P) more dramatically than that of those primary alcohols (1.3-P and 1-P).…”

Settlement behavior of shallow foundations in unsaturated soils under rainfall by Kim, Yongmin, Park, Hyundo, Jeong, Sangseom

“…The changes in the settlement during rainfall were also affected by the groundwater table position near the ground surface due to changes in matric suction. In addition, higher bearing capacity in response to rainfall infiltration was observed in the soil with smaller permeability function as compared to larger permeability function.…”

New 3D supramolecular Zn(ii)-coordinated self-assembled organic networks by Lim, Zheng Bang, Li, Hairong, Sun, Shuangyong, Lek, Jun Yan, Trewin, Abbie, Lam, Yeng Ming, Grimsdale, Andrew C.

“…New 3D supramolecular networks S1 and S2 were prepared by Zn(II) coordination of the tetraphenylmethane-based p-type and n-type molecules bearing four terpyridine ligands. XRD and BET results indicate they are relatively amorphous and non-porous with a high degree of interpenetration within the networks. …”
