    Transmit antenna selection and beamformer design for secure spatial modulation with rough CSI for Eve

    The security of spatial modulation (SM) aided net-works can always be improved by reducing the desired link’s power at the cost of degrading its bit error ratio performance and assuming the power consumed to artificial noise (AN) projection (ANP). We formulate the joint optimization problem of maximizing the secrecy rate (Max-SR) over the transmit antenna selection and ANP in the context of secure SM-aided networks. In order to solve this problem, we provide a pair of solutions, namely joint and separate solutions. Specifically, an accurate approximation of the SR is used for reducing the computational complexity, and the optimal AN covariance matrix (ANCM) is found by convex optimization for any given active antenna group (AAG). Then, given a large set of AAGs, simulated annealing mechanism is invoked for optimizing the choice of AAG, where the corresponding ANCM is recomputed by this optimization method as well when the AAG changes. To further reduce the complexity of the above-mentioned joint optimization, a low-complexity two-stage separate optimization method is also proposed. Moreover, when the number of transmit antennas tends to infinity, the Max-SR problem becomes equivalent to that of maximizing the ratio of the desired user’s signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio to the eavesdropper’s. Thus, our original problem reduces to a fractional programming problem and a significant computational complexity reduction can be achieved. Finally, our simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed methods in terms of the SR performance attained

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
