The Kind Millionaire, Lemonade Joe and Superman. On Czech Film Parodies by Petr Mareš

“…Parodies caricatured conventions of disapproved genres (romance, western, detective story), but at the same time, maintained an awareness of them and eventually also functioned as a substitute for them. The construction of parodies was often based on the accumulation of motifs of a given genre and their escalation to absurdity. …”

Ternary complementary sets and its application in UWB by WANG Shi-ji, ZHANG Nai-tong

“…Ternary complementary set based UWB signaling employing a set of orthogonal chip pulses was proposed for DS-UWB.It had many advantages in indoor high-speed short range communications.First the system model of multiple access communications was founded,then ternary complementary set and its recursive construction method were analyzed,and then the performance evaluation structure of multiple access communications based the ternary complementary sets by use of the Rake receiver was put forward.Ternary complementary sets assigned to two users had good aperiodic autocorrelation functions.Hence,the multipath interference as well as multiple access interference were mitigated.Simulation results show that ternary MO complementary sets have better performances compared with other random sequences in the SV/IEEE 802.15.3a channel model.…”

Changes on the Coast: Towards a Terraqueous Environmental History by Romain Grancher, Michael-W. Serruys

“…It furthermore allows us to show the always liminal, shifting and permeable character of the coast, which functions more as an interface than as a border. Finally, because of their position on the edge, coasts have a ‘mirroring’ power which invites us to pay more attention to the symmetry between land and sea.…”

The data on the sediment amounts dredged from riverbeds to ensure the waterway functioning are demonstrated to be the integral estimation of the control conditions for channel processes.…”

ROLLING BEARING WEAK FAULT FEATURE EXTRACTION METHOD WITH ALIF⁃NLM by WANG Ying, SONG YuBo, ZHU DaPeng

“…Aiming at the problem that the early weak fault feature was difficult to extract of rolling bearing under the strong noise background,combined with the advantages of adaptive local iterative filter(ALIF)and non⁃local means(NLM)method,an ALIF⁃NLM bearing weak fault feature extraction method was proposed.Firstly,a weighted kurtosis⁃energy ratio criterion was constructed to filter the intrinsic mode function(IMF)components of the ALIF decomposition and reconstruct the signal.Secondly,the minimum energy entropy⁃kurtosis ratio index was constructed by combining the sensitivity of kurtosis to the impact signal with the evaluation performance of energy entropy to the uniformity and complexity of signal energy distribution,and using this index as the fitness function,the adaptive selection of parameter combinations in NLM method was realized by particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm.Finally,the fault feature of the reconstructed signal was extracted with the adaptive NLM.The simulation and experimental results show that this method can effectively extract the weak fault feature information of rolling bearing under the strong noise background.…”

Nonlinear blind source separation algorithm based on spline interpolation and artificial bee colony optimization by Lei CHEN, Shi-zhong GAN, Li-yi ZHANG, Guang-yan WANG

“…A post-nonlinear blind source separation algorithm based on spline interpolation fitting and artificial bee colony optimization was proposed for the more complicated nonlinear mixture situations.The separation model was constructed by using the spline interpolation to fit the inverse nonlinear distortion function and using entropy as the separation criterion.The spline interpolation node parameters were solved by the modified artificial bee colony optimization algorithm.The correlation constraint was added into the objective function for limiting the solution space and the outliers wuld be restricted in the separation process.The results of speech sounds separation experiment show that the proposed algorithm can effectively realize the signal separation for the nonlinear mixture.Compared with the traditional separation algorithm based on odd polynomial fitting,the proposed algorithm has higher separation accuracy.…”
