Curve-fitting applications to physically meaningful data by the use of fractional functions are worked out in detail.

Metaphorical use of address terms will be one focus of this paper. Functions of address terms have been investigated a lot, but emotional functions are less emphasized. Therefore, this paper will make a tentative study of how people metaphorically use address terms to express the addresser＇s affect towards the addressee within the framework of Appraisal Theory.展开更多

Using the proposed approximation, the complex functions In（.） and exp（.） in the Exact-log-MAP algorithm can be estimated with high accuracy and lower computational complexity. The efficacy of the proposed approximation is investigated and demonstrated by applying it to iteratively decoded BICM （Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation）.展开更多
