Average coherence with respect to complementary measurements

We investigate the average coherence with respect to a complete set of complementary measurements.By using a Wigner-Yanase skew information-based coherence measure introduced in Luo and Sun(2017 Phys.Rev.A 96,022130),we evaluate the average coherence of a state with respect to any complete set of mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete measurements,respectively.We also establish analytically the relations among these average coherences.     

OFDM水声通信CS限幅失真补偿与LS信道估计优化算法*

正交频分复用技术应用于水声通信系统时,会引起较高的峰均比,当采用限幅法对峰均比进行抑制时,会产生非线性失真。另外,系统采用最小二乘法进行信道估计受噪声的影响较大。针对以上问题,提出了一种基于压缩感知技术的补偿限幅非线性失真与最小二乘信道估计相组合的新算法,在接收端利用导频数据采用压缩感知算法对限幅失真进行补偿,同时对最小二乘信道估计进行优化运算,以减小噪声对其影响。理论分析和仿真结果均表明,新算法不但能够有效抑制限幅法造成的系统非线性失真问题,而且能够降低高斯白噪声对于信道估计的影响。     

Densities and isothermal compressibilities of ionic liquids—Modeling and application

Two corresponding-states forms have been developed for direct correlation function integrals in liquids to represent pressure effects on the volume of ionic liquids over wide ranges of temperature and pressure. The correlations can be analytically integrated from a chosen reference density to provide a full equation of state for ionic liquids over reduced densities from 1.5 to more than 3.6. One approach is empirical with 3 parameters, the other is a 2-parameter theoretical form which is directly connected to a method for predicting gas solubilities in ionic liquids. Parameters for both methods have been obtained for 28 different ionic liquid systems by reduction of carefully validated PρT data. The results show excellent agreement with the experimental data for nearly all substances over all ranges of conditions. Group contributions to parameters are also explored, leading to an entirely predictive method for ambient pressure densities and densities of compressed ionic liquids. Extensive comparisons are made with other techniques.     

Dispersion in retentive pillar array columns

The method of volume averaging is applied to estimate the Taylor–Aris dispersion tensor of solute advected in columns consisting of ordered pillar arrays with wall retention of the type used in chromatographic separation. The appropriate closure equations are derived and solved in a unit cell with periodic boundary conditions to obtain the dispersion tensor (or the reduced plate height) as a function of the Peclet number (reduced velocity); pillar pattern, shape and size; partition coefficient; and resistance to mass transfer. The contributions of the velocity profile, the wall adsorption, and the mass transfer resistance to the dispersion tensor are identified and delineated. The model is verified by comparing its predictions and obtaining favorable agreement with results of direct numerical simulations and with experimental data for columns containing ordered pillars. The model is then used to study the effect of pillars’ shape and pattern on the longitudinal dispersion coefficient (plate height).     

Nano-Fabrication by Cathodic Plasma Electrolysis

Cathodic plasma electrolytic (CPE) techniques are new groups of coating processes, which can be used for fabrication of nanostructured layers on surface of a wide range of metallic substrates. The most exciting visible feature of these atmospheric-based plasma techniques is continuous sparking on processed surface inside an electrolyte. Unlike the anodic part of plasma electrolysis (usually known as plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) or micro arc oxidation (MAO)), which is commonly used for oxidation of light metals/alloys such as aluminum, titanium and magnesium, CPE techniques can clean and coat different metals and alloys such as steel, copper, and light metals/alloys with formation of wide range of nanostructures including complex carbides, carbonitrides, intermetallics, and even oxides. It has been observed that the properties of obtained layers depend on the characteristics of achieved nanostructures such as average size, distribution and average coordination number of nanocrystallites. Furthermore, the properties of the processed surface can be tailored by tailoring the nanostructure characteristics. There is limited literature available on the mechanism of CPE and its connection to the morphology of nanostructured layers. This article addresses the two important aspects of CPE, namely characterization of nanostructured layers and mechanism of cathodic plasma electrolysis, which are reviewed in accordance to the morphology of fabricated nanostructures.

Spectral- and Cepstral-Based Measures During Continuous Speech: Capacity to Distinguish Dysphonia and Consistency Within a Speaker

Spectral- and cepstral-based acoustic measures are preferable to time-based measures for accurately representing dysphonic voices during continuous speech. Although these measures show promising relationships to perceptual voice quality ratings, less is known regarding their ability to differentiate normal from dysphonic voice during continuous speech and the consistency of these measures across multiple utterances by the same speaker. The purpose of this study was to determine whether spectral moments of the long-term average spectrum (LTAS) (spectral mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis) and cepstral peak prominence measures were significantly different for speakers with and without voice disorders when assessed during continuous speech. The consistency of these measures within a speaker across utterances was also addressed. Continuous speech samples from 27 subjects without voice disorders and 27 subjects with mixed voice disorders were acoustically analyzed. In addition, voice samples were perceptually rated for overall severity. Acoustic analyses were performed on three continuous speech stimuli from a reading passage: two full sentences and one constituent phrase. Significant between-group differences were found for both cepstral measures and three LTAS measures (P < 0.001): spectral mean, skewness, and kurtosis. These five measures also showed moderate to strong correlations to overall voice severity. Furthermore, high degrees of within-speaker consistency (correlation coefficients ≥0.89) across utterances with varying length and phonemic content were evidenced for both subject groups.

Group decision making with expertons and uncertain generalized probabilistic weighted aggregation operators

Expertons and uncertain aggregation operators are tools for dealing with imprecise information that can be assessed with interval numbers. This paper introduces the uncertain generalized probabilistic weighted averaging (UGPWA) operator. It is an aggregation operator that unifies the probability and the weighted average in the same formulation considering the degree of importance that each concept has in the aggregation. Moreover, it is able to assess uncertain environments that cannot be assessed with exact numbers but it is possible to use interval numbers. Thus, we can analyze imprecise information considering the minimum and the maximum result that may occur. Further extensions to this approach are presented including the quasi-arithmetic uncertain probabilistic weighted averaging operator and the uncertain generalized probabilistic weighted moving average. We analyze the applicability of this new approach in a group decision making problem by using the theory of expertons in strategic management.
