본 논문은 다개체 로봇을 위한 랭크 기반의 포메이션을 다룬다. 여기서 제안되는 방법은 이웃한 두 대 로봇의 지역 위치를 이용한다. 전통적인 다개체 로봇의 포메이션을 위한 연구는 모든 로봇의 위치를 파악하기 위해 로봇과 중앙 컴퓨터사이의 통신을 필요로 한다. 그리고 전역좌표에서 모든 로봇의 위치를 참조하여 포메이션 형성 및 로봇 경로가 만들어 진다. 기존의 연구들과는 다르게 제안된 포메이션 형성 방법은 지역좌표에서 이웃한 두 대의 로봇 위치를 사용 한다. 따라서 제안된 방법은 여러 모양의 포메이션을 형성할 때 모든 로봇의 협력 관계는 필요하지 않고 주변의 이웃 로봇 위치를 개별적으로 이용한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법이 효과적으로 포메이션을 형성할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Adaptive Bit Loading (ABL) in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is often used to achieve the desired Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in wireless systems. In this paper, we discuss some of the bit loading algorithms, compare them in terms of the BER performance, and present an effective and concise Adaptive Grouped Loading (AGL) algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a "weight factor" for loading algorithm to converge rapidly to the final solution for various data rate with variable Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) gaps. In particular, we consider the bit loading in near optimal Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based MIMO-OFDM system. While using SVD based system, the system requires perfect Channel State Information (CSI) of channel transfer function at the transmitter. This scenario of SVD based system is taken as an ideal case for the comparison of loading algorithms and to show the actual enhancement achievable by our AGL algorithm. Irrespective of the CSI requirement imposed by the mode of the system itself, ABL demands high level of feedback. Grouped Loading (GL) would reduce the feedback requirement depending upon the group size. However, this also leads to considerable degradation in BER performance. In our AGL algorithm, groups are formed with a number of consecutive sub-channels belonging to the same transmit antenna, with individual gains satisfying predefined criteria. Simulation results show that the proposed "weight factor" leads a loading algorithm to rapid convergence for various data rates with variable SNR gap values and AGL requires much lesser CSI compared to GL for the same BER performance.

최근 사회망 기반의 검색 서비스들을 중심으로 다양한 방법들이 제시되고 있다. 기존의 추천시스템들은 특정 영역의 전문가를 검색할 수 있지만 검색하고자 하는 전문가에 대한 프로파일과 전문가를 평가하는 항목이 한 시스템에 있어야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 지식베이스와 XMDR을 이용하여 서로 다른 시스템에 존재하는 전문가 프로파일과 전문가를 평가하는 항목 수집을 자동화할 수 있다. 또한 다양한 리소스들을 이용하여 사회망을 동적으로 구축하여 여러 전문가를 추천할 수 있는 시스템을 구성하고자한다. 그러나 다양한 리소스들은 지역적으로 분산되어 있고 이종의 데이터 소스들로 구성되어있기 때문에 사용자 의사결정을 위한 정보를 얻는 것은 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 효율적으로 해결하기 위해서 사용자에게 단일 인터페이스를 제공하고 이종시스템들 간에 구축된 리소스들에는 각각 독립성과 투명성을 제공할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분산되어있는 전문가 프로파일 추출을 위해 XMDR과 지식베이스를 이용하고 이러한 지식베이스를 사회망과 연계한 전문가 추천 시스템을 설계한다.

Dynamic textures are videos that exhibit a stationary property with respect to time (i.e., they have patterns that repeat themselves over a large number of frames). These patterns can easily be tracked by a linear dynamic system. In this paper, a model that identifies the underlying linear dynamic system using wavelet coefficients, rather than a raw sequence, is proposed. Content based threshold filtering based on Set Partitioning in a Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) helps to get another representation of the same frames that only have low frequency components. The main idea of this paper is to apply SPIHT based threshold filtering on different bands of wavelet transform so as to have more significant information in fewer parameters for singular value decomposition (SVD). In this case, more flexibility is given for the component selection, as SVD is independently applied to the different bands of frames of a dynamic texture. To minimize the time complexity, the proposed model is implemented on a graphics processing unit (GPU). Test results show that the proposed dynamic system, along with a discrete wavelet and SPIHT, achieve a highly compact model with better visual quality, than the available LDS, Fourier descriptor model, and higher-order SVD (HOSVD).

This paper discusses the measurement of frequency response functions for various dc-dc converters. The frequency domain identification procedure is applied to the measured frequency responses. The identified transfer functions are primarily used in developing behavioral models for dc-dc converters. Distributed power systems are based upon such converters in cascade, parallel and several other configurations. The system level analysis of a complete system becomes complex when the identified transfer functions are of high order. Therefore, a certain technique needs to be applied for order reduction of the identified transfer functions. During the process of order reduction, it has to be ensured that the system retains the dynamics of the full order system. The technique used here is based on the Hankel singular values of a system. A systematic procedure is given to retain the maximum energy states for the reduced order model. A dynamic analysis is performed for behavioral models based on full and reduced order frequency responses. The close agreement of results validates the effectiveness of the model order reduction. Stability is the key design objective for any system designer. Therefore, the measured frequency responses at the interface of the source and load are also used to predict stability of the system.

Similarly to other cluster of galaxies previously classified as cooling flow systems, the Chandra observation of MKW 3s reveals that this object has a complex X-ray structure hosting both a X-ray cavity and a X-ray filament. Unlike the other clusters, however, the temperature map of the core of MKW 3s shows the presence of extended regions of gas heated above the radially averaged gas temperature at any radius. As the cluster does not show evidences for ongoing major mergers Mazzotta et al. suggest a connection between the heated gas and the activity of the central AGN. Nevertheless, due to the lack of high quality radio maps, this interpretation was controversial. In this paper we present the results of two new radio observations of MKW 3s at 1.28 GHz and 604 MHz obtained at the GMRT. Together with the Chandra observation and a separate VLA observation at 327 MHz from Young, we show unequivocal evidences for a close connection between the heated gas region and the AGN activity and we briefly summarize possible implications.

This paper presents a novel user selection method based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), which is approximated using limited feedback data at the base stations (BSs) of multiple user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. In the proposed system, the codebook vector index, the quantization error obtained from the correlation between the measured channel and the codebook vector, and the measured value of the largest singular value are fed back from each user to the BS. The proposed method not only generates precoding vectors that are orthogonal to the precoding vectors of the previously selected users and are highly correlated with the codebook vector of each user but also adopts the quantization error in approximating the SINR, which eventually provides a significantly more accurate SINR than the conventional SINR-based user selection techniques. Computer simulations show that the proposed method enhances the sum rate of the conventional SINR-based methods by at least 2.4 (2.62) bps/Hz when the number of transmit antennas and number of receive antennas per user terminal is 4 and 1(2), respectively, with 100 candidate users and an SNR of 30 dB.

Pedro $G{\acute{o}}mez$ Bosque footbridge is a slender and lightweight structure that creates a pedestrian link over the Pisuerga River, Valladolid, Spain. This footbridge is a singular stress ribbon structure with one span of 85 m consisting on a steel plate and precast concrete slabs laying on it. Rubber pavement and a railing made of stainless steel and glass complete the footbridge. Because of its lively dynamics, prone to oscillate, a simple and affordable structural health monitoring system was installed in order to continuously evaluate its structural serviceability and to estimate its modal parameters. Once certain problems (conditioning and 3D orientation of the triaxial accelerometers) are overcome, the monitoring system is validated by comparison with a general purpose laboratory portable analyzer. Representative data is presented, including acceleration magnitudes and modal estimates. The evolution of these parameters has been analysed over one-year time.

A new algorithm is proposed to determine optimal accelerometer locations (OAL) when a structure is identified by frequency domain system identification (SI) method. As a result, a guideline is presented for selecting OAL which can reflect modal response of a structure properly. The guideline is to provide a minimum number of necessary accelerometers with the variation in the number of measurable target modes. To determine OAL for SI applications effectively, the modal sensitivity effective independence distribution vector (MS-EIDV) is developed with the likelihood function of measurements. By maximizing the likelihood of the occurrence of the measurements relative to the predictions, Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) is derived as a function of mode shape sensitivity. This paper also proposes a statistical approach in determining the structural parameters with a presumed parameter error which reflects the epistemic paradox between the determination of OAL and the application of a SI scheme. Numerical simulations have been carried out to examine the proposed OAL algorithm. A two-span multi-girder bridge and a two-span truss bridge were used for the simulation studies. To overcome a rank deficiency frequently occurred in inverting a FIM, the singular value decomposition scheme has been applied.

We deal with the existence of positive radial solutions concentrating on spheres for the following class of elliptic system $$\large(S) \hfill{400} \{\array{-{\varepsilon}^2{\Delta}u+V_1(x)u=K(x)Q_u(u,v)\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,\\-{\varepsilon}^2{\Delta}v+V_2(x)v=K(x)Q_v(u,v)\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,\\u,v{\in}W^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N),\;u,v&gt;0\;in\;\mathbb{R}^N,}$$ where ${\varepsilon}$ is a small positive parameter; $V_1$, $V_2{\in}C^0(\mathbb{R}^N,[0,{\infty}))$ and $K{\in}C^0(\mathbb{R}^N,[0,{\infty}))$ are radially symmetric potentials; Q is a $(p+1)$-homogeneous function and p is subcritical, that is, 1 < $p$ < $2^*-1$, where $2^*=2N/(N-2)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent for $N{\geq}3$.
