In this paper, noncoherent sequence detection, proposed in a companion paper [1] by Colavolpe and Raheli, is extended to the case of continuous phase modulations (CPM’s). The results in the companion paper on linear modulations with intersymbol interference (ISI) are used here because a CPM signal is mathematically equivalent to a sum of ISI-affected linearly modulated components, according to ...

In this paper a novel Modified Simulated Annealing Algorithm (MSAA) is used as global optimization technique to find the solution of combinatorial optimization problem which is usually difficult to tackle. MSAA combines good methodologies like global minimum converging property of Simulated Annealing algorithm and fast convergence rate of Hamming scan algorithm. Orthogonal Netted Radar System (...

Improving phoneme recognition has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its applications in various fields of speech processing. Recent research achievements show that using deep neural network (DNN) in speech recognition systems significantly improves the performance of these systems. There are two phases in DNN-based phoneme recognition systems including training and testing. Mos...

In this paper, sequence unique reconstruction refers to the property that a sequence is uniquely reconstructable from all its K-tuples. We propose and study the phase transition behavior of the probability P (K) of unique reconstruction with regard to tuple size K in random sequences (iid model). Based on Monte Carlo experiments, artificial proteins generated from iid model exhibit a phase tran...

We propose in this paper a novel approach to the classification of discrete sequences. This approach builds a model fitting some dynamical features deduced from the learning sample. These features are discrete phase-type (PH) distributions. They model the first passage times (FPT) between occurrences of pairs of substrings. The PHit algorithm, an adapted version of the Expectation-Maximization ...

Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene is frequently used as a major metabolite and biological indicator of the overall exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, solid phase extraction was appropriately conditioned with regard to sample pH, sample concentration, loading flow rate, elution solvent, washing solvent, sample volume and sorbent mass. Octadecyl silica cartridge (C<su...

Based on the numerical representations by T basic vectors of a symbolic sequence consisting of T symbols, first, we prove mathematical that the total Fourier spectrum of the sequence is the square of the length of the sequence. In the meantime, we define the indicator sequences vector. Using the orthogonal or row orthogonal transformations of the indicator sequences vector, we construct some sp...

We study the quark number susceptibility, an indicator of QCD phase transition, in the hard wall and soft wall models of hQCD. We find that the susceptibilities in both models are the same, jumping up at the deconfinement phase transition temperature. We also find that the diffusion constant in the soft wall model is enhanced compared to the one in the hard wall model.
