A Multivariate Probabilistic Framework for Tracking the Intertropical Convergence Zone: Analysis of Recent Climatology and Past Trends by Antonios Mamalakis, Efi Foufoula‐Georgiou

“…Current approaches, which are based on tracking changes in the annual mean of single variables, ignore the intra‐annual dynamics, while more sophisticated methods are computationally intensive. Here we propose a new probabilistic framework to track the ITCZ, which is based on tracking the location of maximum precipitation and minimum outgoing longwave radiation in overlapping longitudinal windows. …”

Research on scenario recognition for THz channels based on mRMR-GA by HAO Xinyu, LIAO Xi, WANG Yang, LIN Feng, LUO Jiao, ZHANG Jie

“…To address the challenges of excessive feature parameter redundancy and insufficient scene correlation in terahertz (THz) channel scenario recognition, a recognition algorithm integrating the minimal redundancy maximal relevance (mRMR) criterion with genetic algorithm (GA) optimization was constructed based on feature selection theory and evolutionary computation principles. The crossover and mutation operations of channel characteristics were executed by the genetic algorithm (GA), and the optimal feature parameters with high scenario relevance were selected using the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) criterion. …”

Performance analysis of orthogonal signals with TASP/MRC diversity by Guangqiu LI, Siting WANG

“…In order to solve the design problem of predictive transmit antenna selection (TASP) / receive antenna maximum ratio combining (MRC) wireless communication system with the minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel prediction,exact and approximate closed-forms for the average symbol error rate (ASER) of M-ary ortho-gonal and biorthogonal signals with coherent detection and TASP/MRC over Rayleigh block fading channel were de-rived by using parabolic cylinder function,the approximate expression of Gaussian Q-function and moment generat-ing function (MGF) based analysis approach respectively.Numerical and simulation results show that the theoretical analysis of the ASERs of orthogonal and biorthogonal signals is exact and the approximate closed-form for the ASER of orthogonal signals is accurate.The above exact or/and approximate closed-forms of ASER of orthogonal and biortho-gonal signals with coherent detection and TASP/MRC can be used to determine the number of antennas of transmitter and receiver and the parameters of predictor quickly,instead of the time-consuming and inefficient computer simulation.…”

ACP based parallel power generation control system by Guolian HOU, Linjuan GONG, Ye SU, Yaohua TANG

“…The power generation side control is the foundation of stable operation of power grid.However,the existing control methods cannot meet the growing demands of energy,environment,and human society to the power generation process.Therefore,the theory of ACP based parallel power generation control system was presented for the safety,high efficiency as well as environmental friendliness of power generation process.At first,the artificial power generation control system which is equivalent to the physical power generation control system was constructed.Secondly,the optimal model of power plant and its corresponding control strategy were chosen through the computational experiments of artificial control system to guide the operation of physical control system.Meanwhile,the behaviors of physical system were assessed for the approaching of artificial system.Then,the stable operation,maximum efficiency,and minimum energy consumption were achieved with the parallel execution of artificial control system and physical control system.Finally,the parallel control of gas turbine system in combined cycle power plant was taken as an example to demonstrate the feasibility and remarkable advantages of the adopted method.…”
