Presented in this paper is a study of the capacity evaluation of various multiuser MIMO schemes in cellular environments. The throughputs per user of the generalized zero-forcing with rank adaptation and vector perturbation schemes are compared with the capacity bound of the Gaussian MIMO broadcast channel, obtained by dirty paper coding under proportional fairness scheduling. The average cell ...

Recently it has been shown that multicomponent spin-orbit-coupled fermions in one-dimensional optical lattices can be viewed as spinless fermions moving in two-dimensional synthetic lattices with synthetic magnetic flux. The quantum Hall edge states in these systems have been observed in recent experiments. In this paper we study the effect of an attractive Hubbard interaction. Since the Hubbar...

A developer wanting to create a speech synthesizer in a new voice for an under-resourced language faces hard problems. These include difficult decisions in defining a phoneme set and a laborious process of accumulating a pronunciation lexicon. Previously this has been handled through involvement of a language technologies expert. By definition, experts are in short supply. The goal of this thes...

Zero-knowledge proof protocol is a basic cryptographic technique. And zero-knowledge proof of double discrete logarithm has some particular properties, so it has been widely applied in many security systems. But the efficient problem of zero-knowledge proof of double discrete logarithm has not been solved to this day, since there are some special difficulties in computing this kind of knowledge...

The interferometric coherence parameter γ estimates the degree of correlation between two Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and can be influenced by vegetation structure. Here, we investigate the use of repeat-pass interferometric coherence γ to map stand age, an important parameter for the study of carbon stocks and forest regeneration. In August 2009 NASA’s L-band airborne sensor UAVSAR (...

In [4], Jin and Xin developed a class of firstand second-order relaxing schemes for nonlinear conservation laws. They also obtained the relaxed schemes for conservation laws by using a Hilbert expansion for the relaxing schemes. The relaxed schemes were proved to be total variational diminishing (TVD) in the zero relaxation limit for scalar equations. In this paper, by properly choosing the num...
