Improved Algorithm for Non-integer Harmonics Analysis Based on FFT Algorithm and Neural Network

By using an artificial neural network(ANN) model,high measurement accuracy of integer harmonics can be obtained.Combining the windowed fast Fourier transform(FFT) algorithm with the improved ANN model,the paper provides an improved algorithm for analysis of non-integer harmonics in electric power systems.Firstly,the Hanning-windowed FFT algorithm processes the sampled signal.By this time,the number of harmonics and the orders of harmonics are obtained.Secondly,choose the number of neural nodes according to the number of harmonics.Thirdly,choose the initial values of orders of harmonics according to the result obtained from the Hanning-windowed FFT algorithm.Moreover,an adaptive algorithm for the adjusting step of the order of harmonic is presented.Finally,by using the improved linear ANN model obtained in the paper,non-integer harmonics can be detected precisely.Through such processing,the time of iterations is shortened and the convergence rate of neural network is raised thereby.The simulation results show that close non-integer harmonics can be separated from a signal with higher accuracy and better real-time by using the improved algorithm presented.
Morphological Theory and Second Language Acquisition

Most of the world’s population speaks a second language. Most of the words in a language are multimorphemic. Thus, the study of second language acquisition and processing offers a key window onto the nature of morphological representation and morphological ability. This chapter examines the acquisition, representation, and processing of inflected, derived, and compound words in a second language. Perspectives on second language variability and accuracy are surveyed, as well as perspectives on the path of development of morphological knowledge in second language learners. The chapter highlights how linguistic theory and experimentation can be used to (a) advance the understanding of morphological representation and processing, and (b) probe what underlies morphological ability. Finally, this chapter addresses the question of how an integrated bilingual mental lexicon can both maximize interlingual connectivity and accommodate the morphological differences that exist between languages.
Consensus control for a class of heterogeneous multi-Agent systems

The consensus problem for a class of heterogeneous multi-Agent systems was investigated in this paper,where the multi-Agent systems were composed of first-order Agents and second-order Agents.First,consensus protocols were proposed for first-order Agents and second-order Agents,respectively.Then,necessary and sufficient condition was presented for heterogeneous multi-Agent systems with fixed and directed communication topology to reach consensus by using tools from graph theory and matrix theory.Besides,the final consensus states were specified if consensus is achieved to the case of fixed communication topology.Furthermore,sufficient condition was derived for heterogeneous multi-Agent systems with switching and directed communication topologies to reach consensus.Finally,a simulation example was given to demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical results.

Narratives of adolescent women athletes’ body self-compassion, performance and emotional well-being

ABSTRACT Sport participation can be a highly rewarding experience for young women. However, it can also involve unpleasant experiences such as failing to meet performance goals and threats to body image, which may detrimentally impact athletes’ well-being. Body image is salient for women in sport and can also be a source of suffering/challenge. Treating oneself with compassion has been suggested as a resource to buffer against negative outcomes of failure and inadequacy in sport. Body self-compassion may be especially relevant in sport as it consists of a kind and non-judgmental attitude towards the body despite perceived physical imperfections. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of body self-compassion in adolescent women athletes’ performance perceptions and emotional well-being. Seven women athletes (14–17 years old) participated in two, one-on-one semi-structured interviews and a journaling activity. Interviews and journal data were analyzed using a holistic approach to thematic analysis. Four themes were developed that capture the athletes’ perceived role of body self-compassion: (a) Compassion for and confidence in my body, (b) “Their’ thoughts and my body, (c) I will play to my potential, and (d) My strength is in my emotions. The women athletes explained that body self-compassion allows them to respect and treat their bodies with kindness; thus, positive emotions such as satisfaction with the body were strengthened and an adaptive focus placed on performance. These findings are consistent with the conceptualization of self-compassion and body self-compassion and suggest that being body self-compassionate may regulate emotions and sport performance perceptions.
The “Arbiters of What Our Voters See”: Facebook and Google’s Struggle with Policy, Process, and Enforcement around Political Advertising

The question of how Facebook and Google make and justify decisions regarding permissible political advertising on their platforms is increasingly important. In this paper, we focus on the U.S. case and present findings from interviews with 17 former social media firm employees (n = 7) and political practitioners (n = 11). We also analyze emails (n = 45) exchanged between Facebook government and elections staffers and two campaigns, a U.S. gubernatorial (2017) and presidential campaign (2016), regarding the platform’s policies in the context of paid speech. In addressing questions about Facebook’s and Google’s processes and policies regarding paid political content, the rationales for them, and the ability of campaigns to contest decisions, this study shows how while Facebook and Google resist being arbiters of political discourse, they actively vet paid content on their platforms. These platforms differ with respect to how and what decisions they make in the context of paid speech and within each company there are active and ongoing debates among staffers about speech. These debates at times take place in consultation with political practitioners and often occur in the context of external events. Across these firms, policies regarding speech evolve through these internal debates, appeals by practitioners, and outside pressure. At the same time, both Facebook and Google make decisions in often opaque ways, according to policies that are not transparent, and without clear justifications to campaigns or the public as to how they are applied or enforced. This limits options for political practitioners to contest regulation decisions. Finally, we conclude by arguing for the need for expanded capacities for political practitioners and the public to exercise voice around the content decisions that these firms make, and for firms to create more robust institutional mechanisms for incorporating it.
Speech processing in a high ambient noise environment

Classical communication theory considers preprocessing of speech for more efficient transmission through a noisy channel. However, when a high ambient noise environment is present prior to modulation, conventional techniques break down. This paper discusses speech processing in a high ambient noise environment and how the intelligibility can be improved by using a discrete, adaptive filter whose parameters vary with the form of the speech signal. The intelligibility gain of processed speech over unprocessed speech ranges from 50 percent at very high noise levels to negligible gain at moderate noise levels.
Visualizing Co-Authorship Social Networks and Collaboration Recommendations With CNARe

Social networks represent individuals and the interactions among them, and studying such networks allows to discover different social patterns (Ahmed & Chen, 2016; Brandão & Moro, 2017). For instance, Chang & Chin (2011) study factors that affect user intention to use a social network game, and Pettenati & Cigognini (2007) use social networks theories to elaborate new e-learning practices. Furthermore, the social networks features can also be used to improve the quality of recommendation algorithms, such as those for friends, music, books and collaborators (He & Chu, 2010; Tang, Hu & Liu, 2013).

Smart Healthcare Service Model for Efficient Management of Patient at a Hospital Outpatient Visits

Objectives: In the present paper, a smart healthcare service management model is proposed that will enable automatic recognition of critically ill patients attached with implantable devices in their bodies without any additional administrative process when they visit hospitals as outpatients so that the patients can be provided with medical services without inconvenience. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The proposed model uses biometric RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) devices so that medical staff can identify patients’ disease types and conditions in advance. Findings: The proposed model has an advantage of shortening the time required for medical services and medical administrative work by grafting RFID technology onto biometric devices. In addition, to provide security for important information related to patient treatment, the proposed model applied probability based multiple property values to patients’ medical information to improve safety. Improvements/Applications: The proposed model was evaluated in comparison with existing medical systems in terms of service delay time, work efficiency, and patients’ satisfaction with medical services. According to the results of the performance evaluation, the proposed model improved service delay time by 16.5% on average, work efficiency by 27% on average, and patients’ satisfaction with services by 22.4% on average compared to existing models.
Sound in space

In the previous chapters, Sound modeling: signal based approaches, and Sound modeling: source based approaches, we have studied models for sounds and sound sources. We now move a step further and examine the effects of the medium in which sound propagates: one of the most frequently encountered effect is reverberation. We will see the physical and perceptual background of reverberation, as well as some of the most known reverberation algorithms. Then we turn to the receiver, and specifically examine a human receiver with two ears. We will study how and to what extent such a receiver can gain information about the incoming direction and distance of an emitted sound, and we will review some 3-D sound processing techniques by which a virtual sound source can be positioned in some point of the space around a listener.
Childhood autism in the UK and Greece: a cross-national study of progress in different intervention contexts

Aim: This is a cross-national study with the aim to explore the development of children with autism over time in the UK and Greece. The focus of the study was to investigate the differences in language and social skills between children with autism across the two countries who were receiving different types of treatment: speech and language therapy, psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy, and occupational therapy. Study design: A cross-national longitudinal design with a mixed (between-subjects and within-subjects) design. Participants: A sample of 40 children in total. In the UK, 20 children with autism who had received psychotherapy (n = 10) and speech and language therapy (n = 10) were recruited and monitored post-therapy twice over a two-year period. In Greece, 20 children with autism who received occupational therapy (n = 10) and speech and language therapy (n = 10) were recruited and monitored post-therapy twice over a two-year period. Results: All children changed significantly over time on all aspects of measurement, demonstrating that children with autism are developing in a very similar way across the two countries. With respect to the effect of the therapy context on the development of children with autism, it was found that there were no differences across intervention contexts at the start of the study, and there were mainly nonsignificant interactions in the rate of change across the differing types of intervention. However, further analysis showed some important differences: speech and language therapy participants presented more widespread change on language scores across the measures; psychotherapy participants showed significant greater increase in imagination and decrease in stereotypical behavior; and occupational therapy participants presented significant reduction of stereotypical behavior. Conclusions: This study can help professionals who work with children with autism further their understanding of the disorder and how it manifests through time in order to provide appropriate services based on each child’s needs. Keywords: Childhood autism, speech and language therapy, psychotherapy, occupational therapy, UK, Greece
Navigating Motivation: A Semantic and Subjective Atlas of 7 Motives

Research from psychology, neurobiology and behavioral economics indicates that a binary view of motivation, based on approach and avoidance, may be too reductive. Instead, a literature review suggests that at least seven distinct motives are likely to affect human decisions: “consumption/resource seeking,” “care,” “affiliation,” “achievement,” “status-power,” “threat approach” (or anger), and “threat avoidance” (or fear). To explore the conceptual distinctness and relatedness of these motives, we conducted a semantic categorization task. Here, participants were to assign provided words to one of the motives. By applying principal component analysis to the categorization assignments we represent the semantic inter-relations of these motives on a two-dimensional space, a “semantic atlas. ” This atlas suggests that, while care and affiliation are conceptually close, affiliation is closer to threat avoidance (or fear); opposite to these motives we find achievement, consumption and power, with the latter lying closer to threat approach (or anger). In a second study, we asked participants to rate how well the motive-specific words obtained in the first study described their currently experienced feelings. We find that semantically close motives are also more likely to be experienced together, that is, we replicate most of the semantic relations in the “subjective atlas. ” We discuss our findings in comparison to other multi-dimensional models of motivation, which show clear similarities. In addition to these motivational atlases, we provide a database of motive-specific words, together with the valence and arousal scores. These can be used for future research on the influence of motives on decision making.
Entendendo o Design Digital: o designer nos processos digitais de projeto

This paper presents a specific aspect of a post-graduate research entitled "Between Design and Designer: Considerations on digital design" and investigates the designer in the digital design processes. It is believed that the unique and subjective nature of the designers are key part of the result and the own choice of architectural design method. Currently, digital technology has enabled new design methods, casting a revaluation of theories related to design. Considering the complexity of contemporary designs it is necessary to open the black box of design and show the context in which the design acts or should act.

The purpose of this writing is to analyze the concept of introduction to Allah (Ma’rifatullah) in Islamic education and explain the Implications of Ma'rofatullah in Islamic religious education. This research method uses a qualitative approach to the library method (search library) through explanations of interpretations to explain the concept of Ma’rifatullah in the Qur'an and then implies Islamic education. As for the results of the research, first, the concept of introduction to Allah (Ma’rifatullah) can be learned through reflection and deepening of thoughts on verses Qauniah (revelation) and verses of Aqliyah (universe) so that the introduction can thrill mind awareness and faith in God and cause love worship to Him. Second. The implications of Ma’rifatullah in Islamic education include: a) Ma’rifatullah as a basic education of Islam to increase morale and students, b) Recognizing the Duties and Responsibilities of Students as Abdullah, c) Ma’rifatullah As awareness of the duties and roles of students as Caliph on earth, d) Reach Ridho Allah as the Main Purpose of Islamic education and e) Ma’rifatullah as Noble Moral Education for Students.
Software Security Using Software Dynamic Translation

Software dynamic translation (SDT) is a technology that allows programs to be modified as they are running. Researchers have used SDT with good success to build a variety of useful software tools (e.g., binary translators, operating system simulators, low-overhead profilers, and dynamic optimizers). In this paper, we describe how SDT can be used to address the critical problem of providing software security. The paper shows how SDT can simply and effectively implement arbitrary user-specified software safety policies. Unlike static analysis techniques which typically process source code, SDT is applied to binary code. Consequently, SDT can handle untrusted binaries and unsecured libraries from any source. To demonstrate and validate that SDT provides additional security, we have implemented a software security API for Strata, our software dynamic translation infrastructure. The API, while simple, allows clients to implement powerful policies to prevent potential security violations. To illustrate the use of Strata and the security API, the paper provides implementations of several interesting and useful security policies.
The danmaku interface on Bilibili and the recontextualised translation practice: a semiotic technology perspective

ABSTRACT The danmaku interface is a unique feature of video-sharing websites in Asia which allows “live” comments to be directly overlaid onto the video immediately upon being entered. Proceeding from the two-pronged model combining a semiotic resource perspective and a social practice perspective proposed by Djonov and van Leeuwen [2018. “Social Media as Semiotic Technology and Social Practice: the Case of ResearchGate’s Design and Its Potential to Transform Social Practice. ” Social Semiotics 28 (5): 641–664] for analysing social media as semiotic technology, this article uses Bilibili.com, the most popular danmaku video website in China, as a case study and analyses the danmaku interface firstly as semiotic technology, exploring the interface design and the meaning-making it predetermines through the semiotic realisations of built-in technological features and semiotic resources it makes available to users, and secondly as a platform which supports and potentially transforms social practices. The argument of the latter will be guided by van Leeuwen’s [2008b. Discourse and Practice: New Tools for Critical Discourse Analysis. Oxford: Oxford University Press] method of social practice analysis and borne out by a comparison of the recontextualisation of audiovisual translation on Bilibili in the form of danmaku subtitling with the prevailing fansubbing practice.

How to Use Mental Imagery for Any Clinical Condition

Over the years, numerous imagery exercises have been developed by clinicians to deal with a variety of diseases (Sheikh, 2001). This chapter offers suggestions to create imagery procedures regardless of the name of the disease. Names of diseases, in my opinion, are merely descriptors of the physical situation that’s diagnosed. They don’t inherently convey information beyond that unlike other medical systems, e.g., the Chinese or ancient Hebraic where patterns are discerned by taking pulses (Chinese), looking at the face (Hebraic), or smelling bodily excretions (Tibetan). However, these descriptors are useful in guiding us in a direction we might take to apply the imagery technique. Once the area for action has been defined, we can then set about to devise an imagery exercise.
