FO(FD): Extending classical logic with rule-based fixpoint definitions
We introduce fixpoint definitions, a rule-based reformulation of fixpoint
constructs. The logic FO(FD), an extension of classical logic with fixpoint
definitions, is defined. We illustrate the relation between FO(FD) and FO(ID),
which is developed as an integration of two knowledge representation paradigms.
The satisfiability problem for FO(FD) is investigated by first reducing FO(FD)
to difference logic and then using solvers for difference logic. These
reductions are evaluated in the computation of models for FO(FD) theories
representing fairness conditions and we provide potential applications of
FO(FD).Comment: Presented at ICLP 2010. 16 pages, 1 figur
Full-Duplex Operations in Wireless Powered Communication Networks
In this paper, a wireless powered communication network (WPCN) consisting of
a hybrid access point (H-AP) and multiple user equipment (UEs), all of which
operate in full-duplex (FD), is described. We first propose a transceiver
structure that enables FD operation of each UE to simultaneously receive energy
in the downlink (DL) and transmit information in the uplink (UL). We then
provide an energy usage model in the proposed UE transceiver that accounts for
the energy leakage from the transmit chain to the receive chain. It is shown
that the throughput of an FD WPCN using the proposed FD UEs can be maximized by
optimally allocating the UL transmission time to the UEs by solving a convex
optimization problem. Simulation results reveal that the use of the proposed FD
UEs efficiently improves the throughput of a WPCN with practical
self-interference cancellation (SIC) capability at the H-AP. With current SIC
technologies reducing the power of the residual self-interference to the level
of background noise, the proposed FD WPCN using FD UEs achieves 18% and 25 % of
throughput gain as compared to the conventional FD WPCN using HD UEs and HD
WPCN, respectively.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
The response of two legume crops (hyacinth bean and Kidney bean) to the parasitism of field dodder (_Cuscuta campestris_)
Abstract: Microscopic examinations and chemical studies were performed to study the response of two legume crops, hyacinth bean (_Lablab purpureus L._) Sweet and kidney bean (_phaseolus vulgaris L._) to the filed dodder (FD) (_Cuscuta campestris Yuncker_) parasitism. Hyacinth bean, showing no effective resistance mechanisms,was found to be a highly susceptible host to FD. However, kidney bean, displaying resistant reactions towards the parasitism of FD,was found to be an incompatible host.The possible reasons for the resistance of kidney bean to FD were anatomical (hypersensitivity) and chemical (high contents of phenolic acids and lignin) stimulated defence mechanisms, which developed during the actual intrusion of FD haustorial cells inside its tissues
Passive Loop Interference Suppression in Large-Scale Full-Duplex Cellular Networks
Loop interference (LI) in wireless communications, is a notion resulting from
the full-duplex (FD) operation. In a large-scale network, FD also increases the
multiuser interference due to the large number of active wireless links that
exist. Hence, in order to realize the FD potentials, this interference needs to
be restricted. This paper presents a stochastic geometry model of FD cellular
networks where the users and base stations employ directional antennas. Based
on previous experimental results, we model the passive suppression of the LI at
each FD terminal as a function of the angle between the two antennas and show
the significant gains that can be achieved by this method. Together with the
reduction of multiuser interference resulting from antenna directionality, our
model demonstrates that FD can potentially be implemented in large-scale
directional networks.Comment: to appear in Proc. IEEE SPAWC 201
