Control of renewables by Synchronous Power Controller (SPC) technology provides virtual damping and inertia which results to support phase stability on the grid and keep synchronism of interconnected areas tighter. Serving these benefits needs to have proper dynamic interaction between renewables and grid. In this paper, according to the dynamic modeling of Renewable Static Synchronous Generation...
Contrary information is recorded in the process of Ribonucleic Acid transcription, which is similar to the anti-synchronization process. In this paper, the anti-synchronization of coupled Boolean networks is investigated. Firstly, the definition of anti-synchronization is introduced, and the drive-response Boolean networks dynamics are translated into linear representations with the semi-tensor product...
In this work, we raise a question on why the abundant information previously shared between a server and its client is not effectively utilized in the exchange of a new data which may be highly correlated with the shared data. We formulate this question as an encoding problem that is applicable to general data synchronization services including a wide range of Internet services such as cloud data...
Communication networks can be the targets of organized and distributed attacks such as flooding-type DDOS attack in which malicious users aim to cripple a network server or a network domain. For the attack to have a major effect on the network, malicious users must act in a coordinated and time correlated manner. For instance, the members of the flooding attack increase their message transmission...
In this paper, we study the iterative learning control (ILC) method for nonlinear multi-agent system (MAS) to reach finite-time synchronization under the directed communication graph. We propose the distributed D — type iterative learning control for system whose nonlinear function satisfies the global lipschitz continuous when the graph has a spinning tree. By choosing the parameter γ ∊ [0,1], the...
In this paper, we present an optimized framework that can efficiently perform massive spatial queries on the current GPUs. To benefit the widely adopted filter-and-verify paradigm from GPUs, the skewed workloads are first associated with certain cells in a scaled spatial grid, such that the following range verification cost against the massive spatial objects can be significantly reduced. Particularly...
In this paper, we propose a novel channel-hopping-based distributed rendezvous algorithm based on grid-based-quorum techniques. The proposed algorithm increases the probability of rendezvous (RDV) within a single cycle by allowing CR nodes to meet more often according to intersection property of quorum systems (QSs). Our proposed algorithm is called Adaptive quorum-based channel-hopping distributed...
Both localization and synchronization of mobile nodes are of fundamental importance for wireless networks. With the emergence of full-duplex (FD) communication technology, inter-node distances and clock offsets among a set of nodes can be simultaneously obtained through only two frames of communications, thus significantly improving the efficiency of node localization and synchronization. In this...
Dynamic vectors are among the most commonly used data structures in programming. They provide constant time random access and resizable data storage. Additionally, they provide constant time insertion (pushback) and deletion (popback) at the end of the sequence. However, in a multithreaded system, concurrent pushback and popback operations attempt to update the same shared object, creating a synchronization...
While tapping onto the mobile device capabilities for execution of resource intensive tasks, it has been proven by many studies that the local device resources are unable to completely perform the task execution. Therefore, it becomes imperative that the intra-device resources are put to productive use by offloading the jobs to a remote location for execution. However, in those settings where the...
In this paper, we address the problems of frequency and timing synchronization for OFDM/OQAM systems in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. A two step preamble based approach for carrier frequency offset (CFO) and timing offset (TO) estimation is proposed. The first step is joint coarse CFO and TO estimation and the second step is fine CFO (FCFO) estimation. We derive the Cramer-Rao lower...
Recentry, interference of artificial noises from electrical power transfer becomes large and deterioration of sound quality of AM radio is worried. The authors proposed a noise suppression system for AM radio using quadrature demodulation and PI algorithm. It is expected that the noise suppression effect is reduced when the system has a synchronization error. In this paper, an effect of synchronization...
Cloud services have occupied a huge niche in today's IT world, however there are still some reasons why it is necessary to stop using remote data storage in some cases. In particular, one of such reasons is lack of confidence to cloud service provider. This article describes a way of interaction with the cloud storage where it is possible to conceal information stored in files and protect metadata...
Many people search for and watch videos on videosharing Web sites, where users input a query and rank videos onthe basis of metrics such as view count and rating. However, it isnot always easy to find the desired video with a conventionalsearch. One approach that enables users to more intuitivelysearch for videos they desire is to index them according toemotions. Previous studies have used several...
We propose an asynchronous, decentralized algorithm for consensus optimization. The algorithm runs over a network of agents, where the agents perform local computation and communicate with neighbors. We design the algorithm so that the agents can compute and communicate independently at different times and for different durations. This reduces the waiting time for the slowest agent or longest communication...
In this paper, a low-complexity algorithm for cell ID group and subframe number estimation, which requires the highest computational complexity in the SSS detection procedure, is proposed for low-power MTC devices. Through simulation under LTE-based MTC environment, we show that the proposed method for SSS detection requires five times less computation complexity than the conventional method, while...
FAST is a multi-threaded, I/O optimized Seed-and-Extend alignment program. FAST is extensible to nucleotide sequences making it comparable to both BLASTn and BLASTp, and also features several new usage flags reporting only HSPs meeting user defined e-value cut-offs. FASTs threaded database construction allows fast, low memory database construction e.g., RefSeq (9.4GB) can be indexed in under 5 minutes...
This study aims to find out how gender affects prosodic entrainment in Mandarin conversation. Based on the analyses of Tongji Games Corpus, it is found that in Mandarin conversations, mixed the gender groups entrain on the greatest number of features and males entrain on the least; A cross-linguistic comparison between Mandarin Chinese and English finds striking similarities over the number of prosodic...
The inter-digit coordination during precision grip was assessed using a recurrence-based phase synchronization (PS) analysis in this study. The PS across the normal forces of the thumb and index finger with respect to the contact surface serve as a critical dynamical strategy underlying precision grip. When both the thumb and index finger had reduced tactile sensitivity, the PS of Fz increased compared...
In many complicated cognitive-motor tasks mentoring is inevitable during the learning process. Although mentors are expert in doing the task, trainee's operation might be new for a mentor. This makes mentoring a very difficult task which demands not only the knowledge and experience of a mentor, but also his/her ability to follow trainee's movements and patiently advise him/her during the operation...
