Periodic Radio Variability in NRAO 530: Phase Dispersion Minimization Analysis
In this paper, a periodicity analysis of the radio light curves of the blazar
NRAO 530 at 14.5, 8.0, and 4.8 GHz is presented employing an improved Phase
Dispersion Minimization (PDM) technique. The result, which shows two persistent
periodic components of and years at all three frequencies,
is consistent with the results obtained with the Lomb-Scargle periodogram and
weighted wavelet Z-transform algorithms. The reliability of the derived
periodicities is confirmed by the Monte Carlo numerical simulations which show
a high statistical confidence. (Quasi-)Periodic fluctuations of the radio
luminosity of NRAO 530 might be associated with the oscillations of the
accretion disk triggered by hydrodynamic instabilities of the accreted flow.

MIMO Channel Information Feedback Using Deep Recurrent Network
In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, the availability of
channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter is essential for performance
improvement. Recent convolutional neural network (NN) based techniques show
competitive ability in realizing CSI compression and feedback. By introducing a
new NN architecture, we enhance the accuracy of quantized CSI feedback in MIMO
communications. The proposed NN architecture invokes a module named long
short-term memory (LSTM) which admits the NN to benefit from exploiting
temporal and frequency correlations of wireless channels. Compromising
performance with complexity, we further modify the NN architecture with a
significantly reduced number of parameters to be trained. Finally, experiments
show that the proposed NN architectures achieve better performance in terms of
both CSI compression and recovery accuracy
Different critical points of chiral and deconfinement phase transitions in (2+1)-dimensional fermion-gauge interacting model
Based on the truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations for fermion and massive
boson propagators in QED, the fermion chiral condensate and the mass
singularities of the fermion propagator via the Schwinger function are
investigated. It is shown that the critical point of chiral phase transition is
apparently different from that of deconfinement phase transition and in Nambu
phase the fermion is confined only for small gauge boson mass.Comment: 5 Pages and 3 figure
