(Z)-4-Amino-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboxamide oxime

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C3H5N5O2, contains three crystallograpically independent mol­ecules. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network

Bis(quinolin-8-ol)silver(I) 2-hydr­oxy-3,5-dinitro­benzoate

The title compound, [Ag(C9H7NO)2](C7H3N2O7), was prepared from 3,5-dinitro­salicylic acid (DNS), quinolin-8-ol and AgNO3. The AgI atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two quinolin-8-ols in a roughly planar [maximum deviation = 0.223 (2) Å] environment. The two quinolin-8-ol ligands are bent slightly with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 9.55 (9)°. The DNS anion inter­acts with the silver complex through O—H⋯O hydrogen bond

Design of Block Transceivers with Decision Feedback Detection

This paper presents a method for jointly designing the transmitter-receiver pair in a block-by-block communication system that employs (intra-block) decision feedback detection. We provide closed-form expressions for transmitter-receiver pairs that simultaneously minimize the arithmetic mean squared error (MSE) at the decision point (assuming perfect feedback), the geometric MSE, and the bit error rate of a uniformly bit-loaded system at moderate-to-high signal-to-noise ratios. Separate expressions apply for the ``zero-forcing'' and ``minimum MSE'' (MMSE) decision feedback structures. In the MMSE case, the proposed design also maximizes the Gaussian mutual information and suggests that one can approach the capacity of the block transmission system using (independent instances of) the same (Gaussian) code for each element of the block. Our simulation studies indicate that the proposed transceivers perform significantly better than standard transceivers, and that they retain their performance advantages in the presence of error propagation.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures, to appear in the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin

{μ2-1,4-Bis[2-(4-pyrid­yl)ethen­yl]benzene-κ2 N:N′}bis­[bis­(acetyl­acetonato-κ2 O,O′)copper(II)]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu2(C5H7O2)4(C20H16N2)], contains half of a centrosymmetric dinuclear mol­ecule. In the mol­ecule, each Cu center is coordinated by four O atoms from two acetyl­acetonate ligands and one N atom from the bridging linear 1,4-bis­[2-(4-pyrid­yl)ethen­yl]benzene ligand in a square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into sheets parallel to the bc plane

Latent Embeddings for Collective Activity Recognition

Rather than simply recognizing the action of a person individually, collective activity recognition aims to find out what a group of people is acting in a collective scene. Previ- ous state-of-the-art methods using hand-crafted potentials in conventional graphical model which can only define a limited range of relations. Thus, the complex structural de- pendencies among individuals involved in a collective sce- nario cannot be fully modeled. In this paper, we overcome these limitations by embedding latent variables into feature space and learning the feature mapping functions in a deep learning framework. The embeddings of latent variables build a global relation containing person-group interac- tions and richer contextual information by jointly modeling broader range of individuals. Besides, we assemble atten- tion mechanism during embedding for achieving more com- pact representations. We evaluate our method on three col- lective activity datasets, where we contribute a much larger dataset in this work. The proposed model has achieved clearly better performance as compared to the state-of-the- art methods in our experiments.Comment: 6pages, accepted by IEEE-AVSS201
