It is assumed that RSL are due to flowing water. However, even though that might be the case, the general characteristics of RSL as well as their seasonal and spatial distribution in Mars, and their occurrence within craters, suggest that RSL correspond to the weathering of frozen aquifers, which coincides with slope stability processes occurring in impact craters and scree slopes from Earth. In this study, we associated RSL with similar weathering processes occurring on impact craters and hydrogeological processes occurring on Earth (including ice, water, and wind erosion and natural aquifer recharge processes). We were able to create a conceptual model on how RSL develop, why are they found mostly in mid latitudes around craters, why are they present in more frequency in one side of crates in high latitudes, and why are there more RSL in the Martian southern hemisphere. Considering the whole hydrogeological processes occurring in craters that experience RSL, we were able to predict where large quantities of liquid water are most likely to be present in the red planet.展开更多

The range and, to a certain extent, the range estimation will play a key factor in customers＇ purchase decisions. In order to guarantee a precise range estimation over the usage life of battery electric vehicles, a method is presented that combines adaptive filter algorithms with statistical approaches. The statistical approach uses recurring driving cycles over the lifetime in order to derive the aging status of the traction battery. It is implied that the variance of the energy usage of these driving cycles is within certain bounds. This fact should be proven by an experimental case study. The dataset used in this paper is open to the public.展开更多

It is known that subfield subcodes of linear codes yield some good codes. In this paper, we study linear recurring sequences and subfield subcodes. Let Mqm(f(x)) denote the set of all linear recurring sequences over Fqm with characteristic polynomial f(x) over Fqm . Denote the restriction of Mqm(f(x)) to sequences over Fq and the set after applying trace function to each sequence in Mqm(f(x)) by Mqm(f(x)) | Fq and Tr( Mqm(f(x))), respectively. It is shown that these two sets are both complete sets of linear recurring sequences over Fq with some characteristic polynomials over Fq. In this paper, we firstly determine the characteristic polynomials for these two sets. Then, using these results, we determine the generator polynomials of subfield subcodes and trace codes of cyclic codes over Fqm .展开更多

Then, a new majority voting scheme is developed. By applying the generalized Berlekamp-Massey algorithm, and incorporating the majority voting scheme, an efficient decoding algorithm up to half the Feng-Rao bound is developed for a class of algebraic-geometric codes, the complexity of which is O(γο1n2), where n is the code length, and γ is the genus of curve. On different algebraic curves, the complexity of the algorithm can be lowered by choosing base functions suitably. For example, on Hermitian curves the complexity is O( n7/3 ).展开更多
