Differential Bi-Directional Relay Selection Using Analog Network Coding
No full textIn this paper, we consider a general bi-directional relay network with two sources and N relays when neither the source nodes nor the relays know the channel state information (CSI). A bi-directional relay selection scheme is proposed using differential analog network coding (BRS-DANC), and a simple linear detector is given to recover the received signals. In the proposed scheme, we provide an optimal and a sub-optimal methods to select the relay node from a single source by minimizing the average symbol error rate (SER). The performance of the proposed BRS-DANC scheme is analyzed, and a simple asymptotic SER expression is derived. It is shown that the SER performance of the proposed differential scheme is about 3 dB away from that of the coherent detection scheme.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000299203101017&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicTelecommunicationsEICPCI-S(ISTP)
The Narrative Function of the Song of Moses in the Contexts of Deuteronomy and Genesis-Kings
No full textThe Song of Moses is acknowledged to be one of the most difficult texts to
interpret within the book of Deuteronomy. Substantial effort has been put in to
determine the Song's origin in terms of its dating and reason for composition. But
more scholars are now seeing the need to relate the Song to its immediate context.
However, the recent contributions to this topic show the need for a closer examination
of the Song's narrative function, not only in Deuteronomy but also in its larger
context in Genesis-Kings. Understanding the Song's function in this large corpus
necessitates the way in which it relates to Deuteronomic themes such as the YHWHIsrael
relationship, Torah, worship, and kingship. This thesis examines the
theological and hermeneutical function of the Song in Deuteronomy and GenesisKings
in their final forms. As a prophetic criticism of Israel, it focuses its audiences'
attention on the central command of the Torah, the moral issue of covenant-keeping,
and Israel's vocation as witness to the nations, resulting in a theology of history for all
nations. With reference to Deuteronomy, the Song expresses the heart of the book.
With reference to Genesis-Kings, it gives us a sense of beginning and closure to the
history of the people of YHWH in terms of Israel's primeval past and future hope respectively
Computer Simulation of Leadership, Consensus Decision Making and Collective Behaviour in Humans
No full textThe aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of a crowd simulation model developed by the authors by reproducing Dyer et al.'s experiments (published in Philosophical Transactions in 2009) on human leadership and consensus decision making in a computer-based environment. The theoretical crowd model of the simulation environment is presented, and its results are compared and analysed against Dyer et al.'s original experiments. It is concluded that the simulation results are largely consistent with the experiments, which demonstrates the reliability of the crowd model. Furthermore, the simulation data also reveals several additional new findings, namely: 1) the phenomena of sacrificing accuracy to reach a quicker consensus decision found in ants colonies was also discovered in the simulation; 2) the ability of reaching consensus in groups has a direct impact on the time and accuracy of arriving at the target position; 3) the positions of the informed individuals or leaders in the crowd could have significant impact on the overall crowd movement; and 4) the simulation also confirmed Dyer et al.'s anecdotal evidence of the proportion of the leadership in large crowds and its effect on crowd movement. The potential applications of these findings are highlighted in the final discussion of this paper
Optical and electronic properties of bismuth-implanted glasses
No full textPhotoluminescence (PL) and excitation spectra of Bi melt doped oxide and chalcogenide glasses are very similar, indicating the same Bi center is present. When implanted with Bi, chalcogenide, phosphate and silica glass, and BaF2 crystal all display characteristically different PL spectra to when Bi is incorporated by melt-doping. This indicates that ion implantation is able to generate Bi centers which are not present in samples whose dopants are introduced during melting. Bi-related PL bands have been observed in glasses with very similar compositions to those in which carrier-type reversal has been observed, indicating that these phenomena are related to the same Bi centers, which we suggest are interstitial Bi2+ and Bi clusters
Int-Soft (Generalized) Bi-Ideals of Semigroups
No full textThe notions of int-soft semigroups and int-soft left (resp., right) ideals in semigroups are studied in the paper by Song et al. (2014). In this paper, further properties and characterizations of int-soft left (right) ideals are studied, and the notion of int-soft (generalized) bi-ideals is introduced. Relations between int-soft generalized bi-ideals and int-soft semigroups are discussed, and characterizations of (int-soft) generalized bi-ideals and int-soft bi-ideals are considered. Given a soft set (α;S) over U, int-soft (generalized) bi-ideals generated by (α;S) are established
Fracture mechanics of bi-material lattice metamaterials
No full textThe advent of additive manufacturing technology empowers precise control of multi-material components or specific defects in lightweight lattice metamaterials, however, fracture mechanics and toughening design strategies in such metamaterials remain enigmatic. By incorporating theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental investigation, our study reveals that stretch-bend synergistic strut deformations caused by bi-material components or topology defects contribute notably tougher lattice structures surpassing its ideal single-material lattices. A peak fracture energy at a critical modulus ratio was found in a designed bi-material lattice composed of triangular soft struts and hexagonal stiff struts, which originates from the shift of fracture modes at crack tip from strut bending to stretching dominated failure modes as the modulus of soft struts increases, where the compromise in competition between bending-enhanced and stretching-weakened energy dissipations of struts deformations results in the maximized fracture energy. A parametric design protocol was proposed to optimize fracture energy of bi-material lattices through tuning the modulus ratio and relative density. Furthermore, the concept of stretch-bend synergistic toughening can also be applied to make tougher single-material lattices with specific topological defects. Our findings not only provide physical insights into directing crack propagation but also provide quantitative guidance to optimize fracture resistance within low-density tough lattice metamaterials
Client-consultant interaction practices: Sources of ingenuity, value creation and strategizing
No full textService providers increasingly choose to interact with their clients. Previous studies show that client’s resources and activities can influence the service provider’s ability to create value, to be creative, and to develop competitive strategies. Yet several gaps can be identified in the literature regarding how these abilities are impacted by client-consultant interaction (c-c-i) practices. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to explain the service providers’ varying ability to offer highly valuable solutions to their clients’ problems, in terms of the practices through which consultants interact with their clients. The main research questions are;
How do client-consultant interaction practices influence a firm’s ability to offer unique value propositions and deliver ingenious solutions, and how do these practices influence the formation of the firm’s strategy? These questions are answered through four papers. Each paper answers a sub-question.
Paper 1 focuses on the impact of c-c-i practices on the service providers’ ingenuity capabilities. The paper asks how project teams shatter constraints in ill-structured problem-solving situations, and what implications this finding has for the understanding of creative action in organizations. This paper sheds light on the c-c-i practices through which project teams shatter their constraints and create ingenious solutions.
Paper 2 focuses on the creative aspects of c-c-i practices and presents the experiences of service providers who have been successful in capitalizing on the creative resources provided by their clients.
Paper 3 is an inquiry into the relationship between c-c-i practices and the service providers’ ability to offer unique value propositions. The paper provides a model to define and assess value created through c-c-i practices. The findings of this paper show that value creation is maximized through c-c-i practices that provide access to various forms of capital and practice that enable capital exploitation. Unique value offerings can be developed from knowing what c-c-i practices to enact in different circumstances.
Paper 4 focuses on the implications of c-c-i practices for the emergence of new strategies. The findings show that mundane business operations can be the locus of strategizing, and that clients can play a role in emergent strategy formation. Theoretical resources for this research are drawn from literature on practice theory, strategy, organizational creativity, and value creation. An explorative research design is used and qualitative data are gathered from 30 cases through extensive field work. Both in-depth and comparative case analyses are performed
