For simplicity, a one-dimensional autoregressive （AR） process is used to model the time-varying channel, and the least square （LS） algorithm based on pilot signals is adopted to track the time-varying channel fading factor a. The low-dimensional Kalman filter estimator greatly reduces the complexity of the high-dimensional Kalman filter. To utilize the relationship of fading channel in frequency domain, a minimum mean-square-error （MMSE） combiner is used to refine the estimation results. The simulation results in the frequency band of 5.5 GHz show that the proposed method achieves a good symbol error rate （SER） performance close to the theoretical bound of ideal channel estimation.展开更多

For this purpose, the structure and stability of the most stable(111) surface termination of CeO2 modified by TM ions was determined. Except for Zr and Pt dopants that preserve octahedral oxygen coordination, the TM dopants prefer a square-planar coordination when substituting the surface Ce ions. The surface construction from octahedral to square-planar is facile for all TM dopants, except for Pt(1.14 e V) and Zr(square-planar coordination unstable). Typically, the ionic radius of tetravalent TM cations is much smaller than that of Ce4+, resulting a significant tensile-strained lattice and explaining the lowered oxygen vacancy formation energy. Except for Zr, the square-planar structure is the preferred one when one oxygen vacancy is created. Thermodynamic analysis shows that TM-doped CeO2 surfaces contain oxygen defects under typical conditions of environmental catalysis. A case of practical importance is the facile lattice oxygen activation in Zr-doped CeO2(111), which benefits CO oxidation. The findings emphasize the origin of lattice oxygen activation and the preferred location of TM dopants in TM-ceria solid solution catalysts.展开更多

There may be real immediate implications on some RSA numbers that are slightly larger than a perfect square.展开更多

Firstly, the structurecharacteristic of the normal matrix in GPS rapid positioning is analyzed. Then, in the light of thecharacteristic, based on TIK-HONOV regularization theorem, a new regularizer is designed to mitigatethe ill-condition of the normal matrix. The accurate float ambiguity solutions and their MSEM (MeanSquared Error Matrix) are obtained, u-sing two epoch single frequency phase data. Combined withLAMBDA method, DEA can fix the integer ambiguities correctly and quickly using MSEM instead of thecovariance matrix of the ambiguities. Compared with the traditional methods, DEA can improve theefficiency obviously in rapid positioning. So, the new algorithm has an extensive applicationoutlook in deformation monitoring, pseudokinematic relative positioning and attitude determination,etc.展开更多

Our results indicate that the R<SUP>2</SUP> term can act as the present impetus of cosmic acceleration, but there may be a future collapsing universe with this component damped. This model can also tolerate a negative cosmological constant ?, although there seems to be no need for a non-vanishing one. In our simplification, this curvature component has a stationary equation of state, which is similar to radiation. Unlike other dark energy models, this 'missing' energy has a negative density. Some details and effects on cold dark matter and Λ-relevant model have been discussed in the frame of curvature-squared gravity theories.展开更多

Strong biases were observed on the SMOS SSS products, thus the data from the Centre Aval de Traitement des Donnees SMOS （CATDS） were adjusted for biases using a large-scale correction derived from observed differences between the SMOS SSS and World Ocean Atlas （WOA） climatology data. However, this large-scale correction method is not suitable for correcting the large gradient of salinity biases. Here, we present a method for the correction of SSS regional bias of the monthly L3 products. Based on the stable characteristics of the large SSS biases from month to month in some regions, corrected SMOS SSS maps can be obtained from the monthly mean values after removing the regional biases. The accuracy of the SMOS SSS measurements is greatly improved, especially near the coastline, at high latitudes, and in some open ocean regions. The SMOS and ISAS SSS data are also compared with Aquarius SSS to verify the corrected SMOS SSS data. The correction method presented here only corrects annual mean biases. The measurement accuracy of the SSS may be improved by considering the influence of atmospheric and ocean circulation in different seasons and years.展开更多

The combined algorithm is calibrated by two-point correction,and the calibrated correction coefficients are automatically modified by BP algorithm. So it is not only calibrated,but also real-time processed. In adaptive nonuniformity correction algorithm,the phenomena ghost artifact and target fade-out are avoided by edge extraction. In order to get intensified image,the modified median filters are adopted. The simulated data indicates the proposed scheme is an effective algorithm.展开更多
