Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation techniques have been wildly successful in the firstprinciples simulation of plasma dynamics. However, the fundamental algorithmic underpinnings of standard PIC algorithms have not changed in decades. Classical PIC employs an explicit approach (leap-frog) to advance the Vlasov-Poisson system using particles coupled to a grid. Explicit PIC is subject to both temp...

A group-constrained maximum correntropy criterion (GC-MCC) algorithm is proposed on the basis of the compressive sensing (CS) concept and zero attracting (ZA) techniques and its estimating behavior is verified over sparse multi-path channels. The proposed algorithm is implemented by exerting different norm penalties on the two grouped channel coefficients to improve the channel estimation perfo...

MCC, a UCT based Chess engine, was created in order to test the performance of Monte-Carlo Tree Search for the game of Chess. Mainly by modifications that increase the accuracy of the simulation strategy, the performance of the base implementation was improved by approximately 864 Elo. MCC performed still too bad to compete with Minimax based chess programs or to seriously suffer from search tr...

In a multi-rate DS-CDMA system with multiple modulation, modulation format is adjusted according to the data rate of each user while symbol duration is fixed for all users. In this paper, two types of multi-stage partial parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receivers are considered for multirate DS-CDMA system with multiple modulation: multi-stage PIC receiver with partial cancellation fact...

Plasma membrane of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains stable lateral domains. We have investigated the ultrastructure of one type of domain, the membrane compartment of Can1 (MCC). In two yeast strains (nce102Delta and pil1Delta) that are defective in segregation of MCC-specific proteins, we found the plasma membrane to be devoid of the characteristic furrow-like invaginations. These a...

A midlatitude mesoscale convective complex (MCC), which occurred over the central United States on 23– 24 June 1985, was simulated using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). The multiply nestedgrid simulation agreed reasonably well with surface, upper-air, and satellite observations and ground-based radar plots. The simulated MCC had a typical structure consisting of a leading line ...
