Digital modulation recognition based on discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine by Zhengquan LI, Yuan LIN, Mengya LI, Yang LIU, Qiong WU, Song XING

“…In order to improve the performance of digital modulation recognition under high dynamic signal-to-noise ratio, a joint modulation recognition method based on high-order cumulant and discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine was proposed, which extracted the high-order cumulant of digital signals as signal features, comprehensively utilized the generation ability and classification ability of the discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine, analyzed the recognition rate of digital signals in environments containing Gaussian noise, time-varying phase offset or Rayleigh fading.Experimental results show that compared with traditional classification methods, the recognition performance of the proposed method is obviously improved.In addition, the use of the model’s generation ability to reconstruct the input features can effectively improve the signal recognition rate under low signal-to-noise ratio.…”

Observational Evidence for the Modulation of Magnetopause Position by Solar Wind Turbulence by Yaxin Gu, Yi Wang, Fengsi Wei, Xueshang Feng, Boyi Wang, Ludi Wang, Wenyu Zhang, Zekun Xu, Zhuowei Chen, Yunxiang Lu, Xiaojian Song, Pingbing Zuo, Xiaojun Xu, Zilu Zhou

“…Employing a quasi-controlled-variable approach and excluding dominant disturbances, we perform the first direct statistical investigation by selecting 45 magnetopause crossing events (from 38,018 total between 2007 and 2022) under nearly identical background conditions, isolating the effects of turbulence characterized by its spectral properties, partial variance of increments, and the local energy transfer rate. The analysis, further validated by Cohen’s d effect sizes, reveals that turbulence could modulate the magnetopause position: intervals with flatter plasma spectra in the inertial range, higher incidence of intermittent structures (particularly at ∼47 s), and more intense energy transfer rates (particularly at ∼6 minutes) correlate with a more distant, outward-shifted boundary. …”

Research Progress on Intelligent Variable-Rate Spray Technology for Precision Agriculture by Yuxuan Jiao, Songchao Zhang, Yongkui Jin, Longfei Cui, Chun Chang, Suming Ding, Zhu Sun, Xinyu Xue

“…Pressure-regulated technology relies on the pressure–flow relationship to achieve regulation, but there is a narrow range in flow regulation, atomization stability is insufficient, and there are other defects. Flow rate-regulated technology achieves precise control through the dynamic adjustment of the nozzle orifice area or Pulse-Width Modulation duty cycles, but this technology faces mechanical wear, a nonlinear flow–duty cycle relationship, and other challenges. …”
