Implementation of PSO algorithm for MIMO detection system in FPGA

ABSTRACT This article presents a field programmable gate array design and implementation of particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) detection systems. Although, the simulations results prove that the maximum likelihood (ML) detector presents better performances than the other detectors like zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE), but with MIMO systems this algorithm has a high computational complexity. To minimise this effect, we apply a new type of cost function and give an efficient calculation algorithm. We propose a PSO approach based on signal transmitted vector from, and . The simulation result shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of achieving better bit error rate performance compared to ZF and MMSE with low complexity. This algorithm has been developed to reduce the ML detector complexity.
Reintensification and Eyewall Formation in Strong Shear: A Case Study of Typhoon Noul (2015)

Strong vertical wind shear produces asymmetries in the eyewall structure of a tropical cyclone (TC) and is generally a hostile environment for TC intensification. Typhoon Noul (2015), however, reintensified and formed a closed eyewall despite 200–850-hPa vertical shear in excess of 11 m s−1. Noul’s reintensification and eyewall formation in strong shear were examined by using Doppler radar and surface observations. The evolution of the azimuthal-mean structure showed that the tangential wind at 2-km altitude increased from 30 to 45 m s−1 in only 5 h. During the first half of the reintensification, the azimuthal-mean inflow penetrated into the ~40-km radius, well inside the radius of maximum wind (RMW), at least below 4-km altitude, and reflectivity inside the RMW increased. As for the asymmetric evolution, vigorous convection, dominated by an azimuthal wavenumber-1 asymmetry, occurred in the downshear-left quadrant when shear started to increase and then moved upshear. A mesovortex formed inside the convective asymmetry on the upshear side. The direction of vortex tilt between the 1- and 5-km altitudes rotated cyclonically from the downshear-left to the upshear-right quadrant as the vortex was vertically aligned. In conjunction with the alignment, the amplitude of the wavenumber-1 convective asymmetry decreased and a closed eyewall formed. These features are consistent with the theory that a vortex can be vertically aligned through upshear precession. The analysis results suggest that the vortex tilt, vigorous convection, and subsequent intensification were triggered by the increase in shear in a convectively favorable environment.
Predictions on B → π ¯ lν l , D → π ¯ lν l and D → K ¯ lν l from QCD Light-Cone Sum Rules

The f + form factors of the B → π , D → π and D → K transitions are calculated from QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR) and used to predict the widths and diﬀerential distributions of the exclusive semileptonic decays B → π ¯ lν l , D → π ¯ lν l and D → K ¯ lν l , where l = e, µ . The current theoretical uncertainties are estimated. The LCSR results are found to agree with the results of lattice QCD calculations and with experimental data on exclusive semileptonic D decays. Comparison of the LCSR prediction on B → π ¯ lν l with the CLEO measurement yields a value of | V ub | in agreement with other determinations.
Starling Lawu Dance as a Learning Resource for Movement System for Junior High School Students

Movement system material learning requires direct experience to find concepts and associate them with the real world. The need for teaching materials based on local culture in learning biology is one of the important needs to bring students in traditional knowledge and values in the community environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the motions of starling's lawu dance as a learning resource in the movement system material for grade VIII Junior High School students. This research is a type of exploratory descriptive research. The informant of this study was a science teacher at Junior High School. Data collection techniques were carried out by interviews, FGDs, and assessment of the feasibility of learning resources. Data analysis techniques are used in descriptive research through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and data conclusion. The results of the study show that there are 22 motion vectors for the starling lawu dance which have the potential to become a source of learning the motion system. The results of the motion analysis of the starling lawu dancers can be used as a basis for further development of teaching materials. Further efforts are needed to package teaching materials based on local culture that is tailored to learning needs.
Cell culture adaptation of Avipox viruses isolated from different species of birds

Avianpox (AP) is an infectious, slow spreading viral disease that has been reported to affect numerous species of birds including poultry. There is very limited information available regarding the molecular and biological characteristics of the avipox viruses (APVs) circulating in India. In the present study, APVs from fowl [FP/As- K(R)], pigeon [P2/ As- K9(R)] and duck [D2/ As- N] origin isolated from natural outbreaks of the disease in different areas of Assam were selected for adaptation in different cell culture. All the three isolates were propagated in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) primary cell culture and Vero cell line and their propagation was confirmed by observing virus specific cytopathic effects (CPE) and by performing PCR targeting the 4b gene of APV. All three isolates were adapted in the CEF primary culture with production of virus specific CPE. However, a high degree of CPE was observed in the cultures infected with the fowl isolate from an earlier passage (P-11) in comparison to the other two isolates. Even the time required for completion of CPE was considerably less in case of the fowl isolate. The log TCID50 of the fowl isolate was found to be 4.18 ± 0.11, 5.29 ± 0.06 and 6.29 ± 0.13, respectively in the 5th, 15th and 20th passage, which was higher in comparison to the other two isolates. Interestingly, none of the isolates showed any virus specific CPE in vero cell line on propagation till the 10th passage. Moreover, all the passages were found to be negative by PCR.
PROBLEMY EKOROZWOJU – PROBLEMS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Renewable energy policy is one of the remarkable parts of the sustainable development path. However, the political-economic dimension of renewable energy policies is not so much widely discussed. Besides, democracy and globalization are essential factors affecting renewable energy. Hence, this paper examines the relationship between renewable energy consumption, democracy, and globalization in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) during the period 1995-2021. Economic growth and CO2 emissions are used as control variables in the model. The study employs the panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) estimation technique to quantify the relationship between renewable energy consumption, democracy, and globalization by including economic growth and CO2 emissions. The findings from the PVAR analysis suggest that participatory democracy and globalization positively affect renewable energy consumption, while liberal democracy, economic growth, and CO2 emissions have a negative impact on it. Furthermore, the PVAR Granger causality test outcomes indicate an interactive causal relationship between variables.
The Anchoring of US Inflation Expectations Since 2012

The stabilization, or anchoring, of inflation expectations at a target can help a central bank meet its goals. This paper develops a measure of expectations’ anchoring that combines the deviation of a consensus forecast from an inflation target with forecaster disagreement. We apply the measure to survey-based forecasts of PCE price inflation at medium- and longer-run horizons. Following the FOMC’s 2012 announcement of a 2 percent inflation target, the anchoring of both forecast series steadily improved through 2020:Q4. Recently, while longer-run expectations have remained well-anchored, the anchoring of medium-run expectations weakened significantly during the pandemic before strengthening in 2023:Q1.
A Technology-Acceptance-Model-Based Study of the Attitudes Towards Learning Management Systems Among Teachers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

There is an emergent need to examine teachers' acceptance of distance education through LMS during emergencies to leverage online teaching and learning to enhance teachers' future readiness for digital transformation in education. This study explores Saudi teachers' perceptions of Madrasati (national e-learning system). It investigates its ease of use, usefulness, behavioural intention to use the system, and its actual use in association with external factors from teachers' perspective to identify the platform's most supportive elements during remote online teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings from 197 participants show that teachers positively perceived Madrasati regarding the system's external variables, including content quality, teaching support, visual design, system navigation features, ease of access, system interactivity, and instructional assessment tools, and they positively perceived the system's learnability.
Research progress on central autonomic nervous mechanism of acupuncture at Neiguan point in the treatment of atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia disease and is associated with several cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Consequently, the mortality rate of AF has increased in recent years. At present, the treatment of AF is mainly based on medication and radiofrequency ablation, but there are limitations such as adverse reactions and high recurrence rates. Recently, autonomic nervous regulation has become a new treatment for AF. Our previous study showed that acupuncture at Neiguan (PC6) point can treat AF by regulating autonomic balance. The autonomic nervous system can be structurally divided into the central autonomic nervous (CAN) and the peripheral autonomic nervous (PAN). Several studies have shown a correlation between acupuncture and the treatment of AF and CAN. In the clinic, the positive effect of acupuncture on AF has been realized gradually, and growing experimental studies have further discovered the potential mechanism of acupuncture on AF by regulating the CAN. Therefore, this review mainly focuses on summarizing the CAN mechanism related to acupuncture in the treatment of AF to provide new ideas and directions for the treatment of AF.

Complexity, accuracy, and fluency improvements through massively multiplayer online gaming: a longitudinal mixed-methods case study

ABSTRACT Many English as a foreign language (EFL) learners worldwide spend hours playing commercial-off-the-shelf massively multiplayer online games. They engage in a multitude of different interactions with the game environment and possibly with other gamers, using English as the predominant medium of communication. This raises the question of whether playing such games improves these learners’/gamers’ speaking performance over time. Drawing on usage-based theories of language learning, this longitudinal mixed-methods case study addressed this question by measuring six EFL gamers’ speaking performance in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) over the course of six months, and exploring their perceptions relating to the gaming environment and their language learning. The participants played in two teams: Team 1 with low-intermediate and Team 2 with high-intermediate proficiency. Each team comprised three EFL gamers and a native English speaker. Overall, the results appeared positive for the EFL gamers on both teams but in different ways. Their speaking performance showed improvements in 50% of the CAF indices. These results are discussed in light of the gamers’ perceptions about the dynamics of in-game communication, the game’s socio-affective environment, and the development of their speaking performance.
Bellman functions and dimensionless estimates of Littlewood-paley type

We use the Bellman function technique to obtain new LittlewoodPaley type estimates for classical as well as Gaussian spaces Lp(Rn). This is our principal result. The rest of the paper is purely methodological: it contains unified proofs of the known results. Namely, we present the uniform approach to proofs of the existence of dimension free bounds for corresponding Riesz transforms. Some of our results contain best to-date constants.
An Exact Near-Field Model Based Localization for Bistatic MIMO Radar With COLD Arrays

Most existing near-field (NF) source localization algorithms are developed based on the Fresnel approximation model, and assume that the spatial amplitudes of the target at the sensors are equal. Unlike these algorithms, an NF source parameter estimation algorithm is proposed, based on the exact spatial propagation geometry model, for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar deployed with a linear concentered orthogonal loop and dipole (COLD) array at both the transmitter and receiver. The proposed method first compresses the output signal of the matched filter at the receiver into a third-order parallel factor (PARAFAC) data model, on which a trilinear decomposition is performed, and subsequently three factor matrices can be obtained. Then, multiple parameters of interest, including direction-of-departure (DOD), direction-of-arrival (DOA), range from transmitter to target (RFTT), range from target to receiver (RFTR), two-dimensional (2-D) transmit polarization angle (TPA) and 2-D receive polarization angle (RPA), are estimated from the spatial amplitude ratio exploiting the rotation invariant property and the Khatri-Rao product. Finally, the phase uncertainties of transmit and receive arrays can be extracted from additional phase items. The proposed algorithm avoids spectrum peak search, and the estimated parameters in closed forms can be automatically matched unambiguously. In addition, it is suitable for non-uniform linear arrays (NLA) with arbitrary array element spacing and phase uncertainty. Advantages of the proposed method are demonstrated by simulation results.

N and P resorption efficiency in certain young tropical tree species planted on mine spoil

N and P resorption efficiencies were studied in three years old eight tropical tree species planted on mine spoil. Of the eight species Albizia lebbeck, Albizia procera, Dalbergia sissoo and Pongamia pinnata were legumes while Azadirachta indica, Holoptelia integrifolia, Madhuca indica and Terminalia arjuna were non-legumes. Both groups of plants have shown higher resorpton efficiency for both nitrogen and phosphorus. But they potentially differed in terms of N and P resorption efficiency. Non-legumes have shown higher efficiency for N resorption and lower efficiency for P resorption while contrary to this, legumes have shown lower efficiency for N resorption and higher efficiency for P resorption.
Perturbations of the H 1 -calculus

Suppose A is a sectorial operator on a Banach space X, which admits an H 1 -calculus. We study conditions on a multiplicative perturbation B of A which ensure thatB also has anH 1 -calculus. We identify a class of bounded operators T : X ! X, which we call strongly triangular, such that if B = (1+T )Ais sectorial then it also has anH 1 -calculus. In the caseX is a Hilbert space an operator is strongly triangular if and only if P sn(T )/n < 1 where (sn(T )) 1=1 are the singular values ofT.
On an Interpretation of ResNets via Gate-Network Control

Abstract This letter first constructs a typical solution of ResNets for multicategory classifications based on the idea of the gate control of LSTMs, from which a general interpretation of the ResNet architecture is given and the performance mechanism is explained. We also use more solutions to further demonstrate the generality of that interpretation. The classification result is then extended to the universal-approximation capability of the type of ResNet with two-layer gate networks, an architecture that was proposed in an original paper of ResNets and has both theoretical and practical significance.
Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Macular Thickness in Alzheimer’s Dementia with Different Neuropsychological Severities

This retrospective case-control study aimed to investigate associations between disease severity of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and macular thickness. Data of patients with AD who were under medication (n = 192) between 2013 and 2020, as well as an age- and sex-matched control group (n = 200) with normal cognitive function, were included. AD patients were divided into subgroups according to scores of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR). Macular thickness was analyzed via the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid map. AD patients had significant reductions in full macula layers, including inner circle, outer inferior area, and outer nasal area of the macula. Similar retinal thinning was noted in ganglion cells and inner plexiform layers. Advanced AD patients (MMSE score < 18 or CDR ≥ 1) showed more advanced reduction of macular thickness than the AD group (CDR = 0.5 or MMSE ≥ 18), indicating that severe cognitive impairment was associated with thinner macular thickness. Advanced AD is associated with significant macula thinning in full retina and inner plexiform layers, especially at the inner circle of the macula. Macular thickness may be a useful biomarker of AD disease severity. Retinal imaging may be a non-invasive, low-cost surrogate for AD.

We study the behavior of the solutions as the blow-up moment in time and the blow-up point in space are approached. Our focus is on the supercritical case; however, we also give some results on the subcritical case. We prove results concerning the blow-up rate of solutions, and we obtain the blow-up profile for limit L^1-solutions both with respect to the similarity variables and at the blow-up moment. We use techniques that are applicable both for the exponential and power nonlinearities. We also consider immediate regularization for minimal L^1-solutions and improve on some earlier results. We are also interested in the behavior of selfsimilar solutions and we prove the existence of regular selfsimilar solutions that intersect the singular one arbitrary number of times.
