This study investigated how working memory was encoded by the power of multichannel local field potentials （LFPs） based on sparse non negative matrix factorization （SNMF）. SNMF was used to extract features from LFPs recorded from the prefrontal cortex of four SpragueDawley rats during a memory task in a Y maze, with 10 trials for each rat. Then the powerincreased LFP components were selected as working memoryrelated features and the other components were removed. After that, the inverse operation of SNMF was used to study the encoding of working memory in the time frequency domain. We demonstrated that theta and gamma power increased significantly during the working memory task. The results suggested that postsynaptic activity was simulated well by the sparse activity model. The theta and gamma bands were meaningful for encoding working memory.展开更多

Exploited the second-order cyclostationarity inherent in OFDM with cyclic prefix and the characteristics of the phased antenna, the practical HIPERLAN/2 standard based OFDM-MIMO simulator is established with the sufficient consideration of statistical correlations between the multiple antenna channels under wireless wideband multipath fading environment, and a new two-stage blind algorithm is formulated using rank reduced subspace channel matrix approximation and adaptive Constant Modulus (CM)criterion. Simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of tracking matrix channel variations with fast convergence rate and improving acceptable overall system performance over various common wireless and mobile communication links.展开更多

The effects of ECAP consolidation temperature ranging from room temperature to just below the first crystallization temperature of metallic glass on the consolidation of composites were investigated in terms of the relative densities, structural evolutions and mechanical properties of composites. Some intermetallic compounds included Al;CuTi;, Al;Ti and Al;Cu;precipitated from metallic glass particles at consolidation temperature of 300?C. Consolidation temperature did not affect the matrix grains size of the composite. Quantitative analysis revealed that the distribution of reinforcing particles was considerably dependent on consolidation temperature. Density of the composite was increased by increasing the consolidation temperature to 250?C. The composite consolidated at250?C through ECAP process, exhibited the best combination of yield strength and ductility of 184 MPa and 48%, respectively.展开更多

It has been shown that blind identification via decorrelating sub-channels method could recover the input sources. The Blind Identification via Decorrelating Sub-channels(BIDS)algorithm first constructs a set of decorrelators, which decorrelate the output signals of subchannels, and then estimates the channel matrix using the transfer functions of the decorrelators and finally recovers the input signal using the estimated channel matrix. In this paper, a new approximation of the input source for FIR-MIMO channels based on the maximum likelihood source separation method is proposed. The proposed method outperforms BIDS in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise.展开更多

The matrix algorithm is derived from the Viterbi algorithm, and is an implementation of Viterbi algorithm in the form of matrix. Compared with other algorithms, the matrix algorithm gains two advantages: (1) The explicit solution, and its relatively less complexity. (2) More reflexible ability to the signal space distance variation. As examples, the results of some TCM signal sequence on AWGN channel and fading channels have been presented.展开更多

In this paper, by discussing a simple channel model, we show that there are two different schemes to understand the biexponential distribution of open times. One scheme is mathematically strict based on generator matrix theory, while the other one has a clear physical explanation according to an approximation process with numerical simulation of Markovian channel dynamics. Our comparison results suggest that even for biologically complex channels, in addition to carrying out a stochastic simulation, the strict theoretical analysis should be considered to understand the multiple exponential distributions of open times.展开更多
