Synthesis of optimal coherent reception of multiposition signals in modern mobile networks

The research results of optimal coherent reception of multiposition signals in modern mobile networks are presented. The implementation of algorithms and devices provides the maximum possible noise immunity when all possible variants of the transmitted signal at the input of the demodulator are known a priori with high accuracy of the information parameter. By reducing a priori information about the received signal, it is possible to synthesize other methods of reception that are optimal under the appropriate conditions. The coherent processing algorithms of multiposition amplitude-phase modulation and amplitude-phase-difference modulation signals that are convenient for multichannel (multifrequency) systems with orthogonal channel signals are considered. In multichannel systems, for the distribution of orthogonal signals, the procedure for calculating the projections of the received signal on two mutually orthogonal oscillations with an arbitrary initial phase is used. The proposed algorithms for coherent signal processing do not require adjustment of the phase of the reference oscillations of channel signals and enable to implement both the orthogonal distribution of signals and their coherent reception.

Топос кладбища в романах Е.Г. Водолазкина

The subject of research is the cemetery topos as one of the most important constructs of the artistic space of novels “Laurus”, “Aviator”, “Brisbane”, “Justification of the Island” by the modern Russian writer E.G. Vodolazkin. The relevance of work is explained by the interest of Russian literary studies in the study of literary process of the 20th–21st centuries and the work of one of the brightest, original and authoritative modern prose writers – Eugene Vodolazkin. The purpose of research is to study poetic and functional features of the cemetery topics in the above-mentioned novels. The research methodology is based on a combined approach, including histori-cal and cultural, mythopoetic, structural, comparative and receptive methods. As a result of our research, we establish that Vodolazkin creates a complex, symbolic space that changes and “lives” the novel's story along with the heroes. The cemetery appears in three aspects: as a mythological, commemorative and dialogue space. The image of cemetery is created with the help of smells, light and color, as well as textures (tactile effect), which are also “markers” of positive space or, conversely, space with negative connotations. Thus, the cemetery is one of the main toposes in Vodolazkin’s novels, it is a space for unification, overcoming the “gap” – temporal, spiritual, cultural, linguistic, national, etc. The results obtained in the course of study can be applied in the preparation of university courses on the Russian literature history at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as special courses and special seminars.

ОЦЕНКА ХИРУРГИЧЕСКОЙ КОРРЕКЦИИ ДЕГЕНЕРАТИВНОГО ПОЯСНИЧНО-КРЕСТЦОВОГО СТЕНОЗА НА ОСНОВЕ ЭРИТРОЦИТАРНОЙ СОСТАВЛЯЮЩЕЙ У СОБАК

Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis is a common cause of lumbosacral disease in dogs of medium to large breeds. However, decompressive surgery is considered the primary technique for reducing cauda equina and nerve root compression in dogs with degenerative lumbosacral stenosis. The study of the dynamics of the erythrocyte component remains the main indicator of control over the postoperative period during surgical interventions in dogs and deserves their careful analysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the structural characteristics of erythrocytes during the postoperative period. In this article, an assessment was made of changes in hematological parameters and erythrocyte morphology during the postoperative period. Conducting surgical neurological intervention in the lumbosacral region, with strict observance of aseptic and antiseptic requirements and precise implementation of the method of surgical access and reception, ensures the physiological functioning of the erythrocyte link without causing destructive processes during the postoperative period and the presented surgical method can serve as the basis for performing neurological surgical interventions.

Betrayal trauma, dissociative experiences, and posttrauma cognitions among women in a state shelter home

Context: There is a long history of interpersonal trauma in women, and the risk factors and mental health consequences have been well studied. Betrayal trauma (BT) theory by Freyd talks about the specific kind of trauma perpetrated by someone close to the victim, which may lead to increased dissociative responses. Recent research extends the theory to explain the role of posttrauma appraisals playing a mediating role in the development of psychopathological responses.Aim: The aim of this study was to explore trauma history, BT, and dissociative experiences among women in a Government Reception Centre.Setting: The sample included 30 women from the Reception Centre, Bangalore.Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained using a Sociodemographic Data Sheet, Brief BT Survey (revised), the Dissociative Experiences Scale, Posttrauma Cognitions Inventory and a visual analog scale for assessing psychological distress.Statistical Analysis Used: Descriptive statistics and nonparametric inferential statistics were used for quantitative analysis.Results: All the women in the sample had experienced BT directly or as witnesses. There was no significant difference in dissociation between high- and low-BT groups. The presence of negative cognitions toward oneself was associated with increased dissociative experiences. Negative cognitions toward self and depersonalization experiences were higher in the group with severe physical trauma than the group without.Conclusion: The article highlights the high prevalence of betrayal trauma, and risk for trauma-related psychopathology and revictimization that go unassessed in government shelter homes, while reiterating the need for a trauma-informed care approach to intervention.

Research of methods and means of signal modulation with high interference resistance in modern mobile networks

Systems of multiposition signals are investigated, on the basis of which it is possible to reach the transmission speeds close to the bandwidth of communication channels. In communications systems, where the most stringent requirements for noise immunity are the most effective, it is most efficient to use multi-position signals with phase-difference modulation, for which the equivalent energy is maximal. The optimal incoherent reception has the status of optimal for signal variants with an unknown and uniformly distributed initial phase. Optimal incoherent reception is understood as a non-coherent processing method that ensures the minimum probability of error when receiving signal elements in a channel with Gaussian white noise with a random and uniformly distributed initial phase of the received element (about which nothing else is known). All other non-informative parameters of the signal, except for the initial phase, primarily - the frequency and processing interval, with optimal non-coherent reception, must be known precisely. As for the signal amplitude, when using signals with equal energy, it may be unknown. With regard to FM signals, the optimal incoherent method of reception can be used only to determine the phase of the transmitted difference (and not the absolute phase), which is fundamentally unknown with this processing method. The main method of synthesis of algorithms for optimal incoherent reception of signals from FRM-1 is considered, which considers all possible situations when processing signals on two parcels. An algorithm for optimal incoherent reception of signals from FDM-1 is developed, suitable for implementation with any set of information phase differences. The algorithm of optimal incoherent reception of signals from FDM-2 is developed. It is concluded that the optimal incoherent reception of signals from the FDM allows, by increasing the processing interval, to approach the potential impedance of the given signal system without evaluating the initial phase.

船上における地上デジタルテレビ放送の受信手法に関する研究

At the time of large-scale disasters, we are restricted of using mobile phones and the Internet. On the other hand, many broadcast stations were quick to begin broadcasting from affected areas. We have previously reported that they evaluated receivable areas of the terrestrial digital broadcast onboard. However, it was focused on reception levels, it remains to be elucidated methodological improvements for ISDB-T reception onboard. This paper describes investigations of measuring reception levels and evaluated some systems for ISDB-T onboard. This study revealed, even a marine antenna was not high gain, improvements of MER and BER were confirmed when using a 700MHz band filter, diversity reception methods were effective. Moreover, one segment increased viewing areas onboard by approximately 20%. The author concluded, 700MHz band waves were affected even at sea hence countermeasures using 700MHz mobile phone band filters were necessary, selective diversity was effective because it was possible to switch to antennas on the land side, the one segment broadcasting system was effective onboard because it was enables viewing in areas where they were not been possible before during coastal voyages.

International Norms and Legislation of The Azerbaijan Republic for Exclusion of Carrier’s Liability in Maritime Freight

The article examines international standards and domestic legislation on maritime freight, the foundations of the implementation of international standards in domestic law. It is noted that the effective functioning of mechanisms of international legal regulation is impossible without ensuring the implementation of international legal treaty norms in the field of domestic law in the proper manner. International treaties apply not only when different rules are identified, or a contradiction arises. Depending on the level of relations, especially relations of an international character, the legislation proposes to indicate international business customs as a source and recognize the possibility of direct application of international treaties. Attention is drawn to the fact that the location of Azerbaijan on the historic Silk Road makes it necessary to participate in modern multimodal conventions (for example, by incorporating the Rotterdam Rules into domestic law), and therefore the choice of the reception method for the implementation of international treaties is not enough for integration policy. Rotterdam rules excluding liability of the carrier according to the catalog of immunities implemented not only The Hague rules, but also certain rules of the Hamburg rules. In this sense, as an act of synthesis, the Rotterdam rules should be adopted as a criterion for legislation. Also, Formula 3.1 of the Civil Code “on the direct application of international treaties” should be fixed in the CMS of the AR.

БАГАТОКАНАЛЬНИЙ РАДІОПРИЙМАЛЬНИЙ ПРИСТРІЙ ІЗ РОЗШИРЕНИМ ЧАСТОТНИМ ДІАПАЗОНОМ ПРИЙМАННЯ

In the context of the crisis situation on the territory of Ukraine in the eastern regions of the country, monitoring the situation and its changes is of key importance. As a result, monitoring systems and tools are subject to new requirements for speed and efficiency. Currently, in the field of development and design of modern radio receivers there is a rapid increase in requirements for their speed, cost, power supply and spectral efficiency [1]. In the practice of radio monitoring, there is a contradiction between the need to ensure strict requirements for the power consumption of the radio receiver and the expansion of the frequency reception range. The use of tunable digital-to-digital converters (ADCs) with a maximum sampling rate insufficient to accommodate the entire center frequency range of the main reception channel in the zero band of Nyquist [2]. Changing the sampling rate according to the frequency of the main reception channel functionally limits the multichannel reception path due to the need to use different sampling frequencies for reception at different frequencies. Most of the requirements for radio monitoring systems and means are met by radio receiving paths based on SDR technology [3], which is based on digitization of the radio signal in the time scale close to real and further digital signal processing (DOS) software or hardware digital - digital digital signal processors or specialized systems on the chip. This technology allows you to replace the huge variety of existing and developed designs of radios and transceivers, both serial and, above all, amateur, built on a complex superheterodyne scheme, a limited number of available hardware units operating under control. This will simplify and reduce the cost of design, significantly improve performance, support all kinds of modulation, the emergence of a large number of service functions, as well as speed up development. SDR technology can be used in radio frequency recognition (RFID) systems that operate at different frequencies and use different protocols. The article considers the method of reception and processing of radio signals to ensure the effective cost and power consumption of multi-channel radio communication in the extended frequency range. The effectiveness of such an approach is substantiated. The block diagram that implements the proposed method is presented.

An Intelligence Method for Recognizing Multiple Defects in Rail.

Ultrasonic guided waves are sensitive to many different types of defects and have been studied for defect recognition in rail. However, most fault recognition algorithms need to extract features from the time domain, frequency domain, or time-frequency domain based on experience or professional knowledge. This paper proposes a new method for identifying many different types of rail defects. The segment principal components analysis (S-PCA) is developed to extract characteristics from signals collected by sensors located at different positions. Then, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model is used to identify different defects depending on the features extracted. Combining simulations and experiments of the rails with different kinds of defects are established to verify the effectiveness of the proposed defect identification techniques, such as crack, corrosion, and transverse crack under the shelling. There are nine channels of the excitation-reception to acquire guided wave detection signals. The results show that the defect classification accuracy rates are 96.29% and 96.15% for combining multiple signals, such as the method of single-point excitation and multi-point reception, or the method of multi-point excitation and reception at a single point.

PP90 Effectiveness Of Music Therapy For Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dementia, Depression, Insomnia, And Schizophrenia

IntroductionMusic therapy (MT) is a complementary creative arts treatment aimed at maintaining, restoring, and furthering physical, emotional, and mental health. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of MT for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder, dementia, depression, insomnia, and schizophrenia. In addition, the MT methods used for these indications were analyzed.MethodsFor this update of five Cochrane reviews, four databases (Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO) were systematically searched for studies published from 2013 to 2020. Two review authors independently performed the study selection and data extraction. The methodological quality of the included trials was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for randomized controlled trials.ResultsTen RCTs (1,248 patients) met the inclusion criteria. For schizophrenia, no study could be included. MT improved the following: behavior, social communication, and the parent-child relationship in patients with autism; mood for patients with depression; and sleep quality for patients with insomnia. In patients with dementia, MT enhanced mood, behavior (severe disease stage), and cognitive function, whereas cognition was unchanged. Memory was improved only in the mild disease stage. None of the studies observed any significant long-term effects of MT in these patient groups. Both active (playing music) and receptive (listening to music) methods were used for dementia, whereas active methods were applied for autism spectrum disorder and depression. For insomnia, only receptive methods were used.ConclusionsThe findings of this update of reviews provides evidence that MT may help patients diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, dementia, depression, insomnia, or schizophrenia. It is crucial to focus on patient-related evidence-based health care. MT improves physical, psychological, and social aspects, but more research investigating the long-term effects of MT in these patient groups is needed as it is crucial to know how long the effects of MT last.

Research on space microwave energy reception technology based on electromagnetic-thermal-DC conversion

A new microwave energy reception method is proposed for the wireless energy transmission needs of lunar rovers combined with the lunar environment, i.e. collecting thermal energy through microwave absorbing materials, and then converting thermal energy into direct current by using temperature difference power generation devices. The article analyses the two conversion processes, microwave-thermal and thermal-DC, separately. Under the approximate condition that the temperature at both ends of the absorbing material is regarded as equal, the two conversion processes are linked by energy conservation, which theoretically leads to the temperature and total efficiency of the system at steady state. The temperature and total efficiency of the system are initially obtained by numerical simulation with respect to the thickness of the absorbing material, the receiving area and the input power density by selecting the parameters of the carbon and iron composite material at 10 GHz. The results show that there is an optimum thickness of absorbing material for a certain input power density and receiving area, which results in the highest system efficiency. The larger the receiving area and input power density in a certain range, the higher the efficiency, but beyond a certain range the system efficiency shows a decreasing trend. Also the theory and the actual will produce a large deviation when temperature is high. The article concludes that this energy receiving method has great potential for application in the space environment based on the excellent wave absorbing materials and thermoelectric components but further research is needed.

PRODUCTION OF BIOSORBENTS FROM WASTE OF PROCESSING OF PLANT RAW MATERIALS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

The article shows the situation with the production of plant raw materials processing waste, their impact on the environment, in particular, water resources. It is noted that one of the reasons for the aggravation of water problems is the discharge of untreated wastewater into water bodies, namely, by food industry enterprises. It is substantiated that developing and implementing technologies for obtaining water treatment materials from plant processing waste can solve a number of important problems for humanity. Such materials are biosorbents, which together with activated carbon obtained from fossil fuels and charcoal, belong to the group of sorption materials with a high carbon content of organic origin. An overview of the technological schemes and processes of obtaining such materials is presented. The reagents and technological parameters for the main processes are specified. It is shown that it is possible to obtain a porous material with a high carbon content and functional groups capable of ion exchange or complexation by slow pyrolysis (or carbonization). The quantitative and qualitative composition of the biosorbent, its characteristics and ability to remove impurities from water influenced by technological modes of raw materials processing, their sequence, number and type of oxidants and other reagents, chemical composition of raw materials, etc. are presented. The properties of biosorbents and their efficiency in removing various impurities from water were analyzed on the example of biosorbents obtained from pea leaves, sunflower and vine. The technical and economic aspects of creating the production of biosorbents for water treatment are formulated. It is emphasized that in order to create efficient production of biosorbents in addition to energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology, it is important to take into account the productivity of the source of raw materials, their chemical composition and shelf life, transport conditions for processing, etc. The prospects for the use of tomato processing waste as a raw material for the production of materials for water treatment are evaluated. It is mentioned that in Ukraine there is a demand for effective solutions for the disposal of these wastes. The analysis of researches of methods of reception of biosorbents from wastes of tomatoes processing and their application for extraction from water of impurity of various nature is resulted. It is shown that this area of research is promising, but still not studied enough.

Saridin Mokong Karya Sucipto Hadi Purnomo Sebagai Respons Pembaca

Saridin Mokong is a Javanese serialized story of the Pati dialect resulting from literary reactualization from several sources such as Sri Kencono's Audio Kethoprak, the "Saridin Andhum Waris" culture from 1980-1990, Serat Syeh Jangkung, and Serat Babad Pati published in the Suara Merdeka Daily in 2008. However, the character's story legendary in the Pati regency region has never been studied the response of expert readers. Saridin Mokong, the work of Sucipto Hadi Purnomo as the Response of Expert Readers, is the latest research that raises reader responses as the main study. This research is expected to be able to find the acceptance and expectation horizons in the elements of character, plot, and background as facts and innovations with reference to narrative units from the three data sources. This study uses the diachronic literary reception method and the aesthetic theory of literary reception by Hans Robert Jauss with an intertextual approach. The results showed the expert reader response to the acceptance horizon of 10 out of 12 figures, 38 of the 41 narrative flow units, 11 of 13 backgrounds. Hope horizon of 14 characters, 66 units of flow narrative, 15 backgrounds. This means that the elements in the story are in the form of an expectation horizon or author's innovation more than the acceptance horizons of the three sources, Saridin Mokong by Sucipto Hadi Purnomo is a literary work that is different from Saridin's other works and does not come out from the standard elements so that the work is good and more liked by readers because it presents innovation according to the times. Furthermore, it is expected to be able to ignite cloud readers and implicitly give birth to innovation after the reading process.

Interpolation-Based Modeling Methodology for Efficient Aeroelastic Control of a Folding Wing

The aeroelastic model of a folding wing varies with different configurations, so it actually represents a parameter-varying system. Firstly, a new approach based on interpolation of local models is proposed to generate the linear parameter-varying model of a folding wing. This model is capable of predicting the aeroelastic responses during the slow morphing process and is suitable for subsequent control synthesis. The underlying inconsistencies among local linear time-invariant (LTI) models are solved through the modal matching of structural modes and the special treatment of the rational functions in aerodynamic models. Once the local LTI models are represented in a coherent state-space form, the aeroservoelastic (ASE) model at any operating point can be immediately generated by the matrix interpolation technique. Next, based on the present ASE model, the design of a parameterized controller for suppressing the gust-induced vibration is studied. The receptance method is applied to derive fixed point controllers, and the effective independence method is adopted and modified for optimal sensor placement in variable configurations, which can avoid solving ill-conditioned feedback gains. Numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed interpolation-based modeling approach, and the parameterized controller exhibits a good gust mitigation effect within a wide parameter-varying range. This paper provides an effective and practical solution for modeling and control of the parameterized aeroelastic system.

Polarization-fading suppression of Φ-OTDR with Rayleigh gray-scale pattern aggregation method.

Polarization diversity reception is a widely used method to suppress polarization fading of Φ-optical time domain reflectometer (Φ-OTDR). However, the traditional polarization diversity reception method with multichannel point-to-point signal aggregation causes the discontinuity of the aggregated signal, which affects the subsequent application. In order to decrease the discontinuity of the aggregation signal, an area-to-area signal aggregation method with a Rayleigh gray-scale pattern is proposed. First, the Rayleigh pattern is simulated to verify the large-scale continuity of fading areas. Then, an image-processing method by Rayleigh gray-scale pattern is carried out for the automatic judgment of large-scale fading areas, which includes the operations of normalization, graying, comparison of amplitude threshold using the Otsu algorithm, erosion, and dilation. The experimental results indicate that multichannel area-to-area signal aggregation can reduce the average fading ratio from 6.58% to 2.10% and also realize the signal demodulation with an SNR of 15.83 dB of positioning curve. This aggregation method provides an effective scheme for the polarization-fading suppression for Φ-OTDR.

Formula omitted]-optimal vibration control using receptance-based regional eigenvalue assignment

This paper proposes a method of H2-optimal vibration control using regional eigenvalue assignment based only on measured receptances, typically from a modal test. The sum of the squared weighted H2-norm of closed-loop receptance matrix and the transfer matrix from the external input to the control input is minimized by exploiting the flexibility from assigning the closed-loop eigenvalues to prescribed stable regions with single- or multiple-input control. It is found that regional eigenvalue assignment and the optimization of a free parameter matrix (in the multiple-input case) provide extra flexibility for improving the closed-loop performance over and above the selection of weighting matrices, as in standard H2 control. Therefore, the internal stability, satisfactory response, and minimum control energy are readily guaranteed by the proposed method, whereas the standard approach is dependent upon the arbitrarily chosen weighting matrices. The method inherits the advantages of both optimal control and eigenvalue assignment by the receptance method. The working of the method and its advantages over the standard H2 control are demonstrated numerically.

Realization of GPS Dynamic Hijacking Based on Software Radio

GPS positioning technology has a wide range of use scenarios, but due to the known characteristics of GPS signal open reception and modulation methods, many solutions can easily deceive GPS signals. Once this technology is abused in violation of regulations, it may cause major safety and property losses. In order to better study the anti-hijacking technology of PGS signals, this article starts with the generative dynamic hijacking of PGS, gives the implementation method based on software radio, and further learns the code phase and dopper between asynchronous hijacking and synchronous hijacking through software radio. The compensation calculation method of Leer frequency shift parameters, and verified the effect of the software radio’s GPS dynamic hijacking implementation method through examples, and provide theoretical support for the design and improvement of future anti-hijacking systems.

ANALYSIS OF RECEPTION AND CRITICAL DISCOURSE OF THE EYECANDY RUBRIC ON ADULT MEN MAGAZINE

Eyecandy is a rubrik in the adult men's magazine “Popular”, featuring sensual content from many of its models, and what happens when the rubric is interpreted critically by female readers. When the workers and editors at the magazine are dominated by men who have full power in determining the value of women in a society's social life through the discourse that appears in it. Meanwhile, women are positioned as objects that do not have the power to determine these values. The purpose of this study is how audience reception interprets the perspective of critical discourse on the text wrapped in the pose of a woman's body shape in the eyecandy rubric in the December 2017 issue of "Popular" magazine. This research uses a qualitative approach with the study method of critical discourse reception by Norman Fairclough's model. The results of the research show that the text in the eyecandy rubric gives a sensual meaning, where that meaning still binds women as the main sexual commodity that is traded in the form of visual objects. The text is only a complementary narrative of the many sensual poses of female models. The production in the process of making this text is dominated by men, where men seem to understand very well how a text and images are used as representations of attractiveness that is able to attract their people, thus proving that women are objects of sexuality where the media constructs according to the wishes of their male readers.
