Rapid acquisition of PN signals for DS/SS systems using a phase estimator
We propose a new scheme for rapid acquisition of PN
signals in direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) systems by estimating
the phase of the received PN signal with the use of an auxiliary
signal. The auxiliary signal can be generated by a sum of the
phase shifted PN signals. The phase of the incoming PN signal is
estimated using the properties of cross correlation between the PN
signal and the auxiliary signal. True phase alignment is detected
using a conventional serial search scheme, where the initial phase
of the local PN generators is set to a value obtained by the phase
estimator. The performance of the proposed acquisition scheme is
analytically evaluated in terms of the mean acquisition time. Numerical
results show that the proposed scheme can achieve acquisition
at least two times faster than the conventional scheme in nominal
operating condition

Tuning local chemistry of P2 layered-oxide cathode for high energy and long cycles of sodium-ion battery
Layered transition-metal oxides have attracted intensive interest for cathode materials of sodium-ion batteries. However, they are hindered by the limited capacity and inferior phase transition due to the gliding of transition-metal layers upon Na+ extraction and insertion in the cathode materials. Here, we report that the large-sized K+ is riveted in the prismatic Na+ sites of P2-Na0.612K0.056MnO2 to enable more thermodynamically favorable Na+ vacancies. The Mn-O bonds are reinforced to reduce phase transition during charge and discharge. 0.901 Na+ per formula are reversibly extracted and inserted, in which only the two-phase transition of P2 ↔ P’2 occurs at low voltages. It exhibits the highest specific capacity of 240.5 mAh g−1 and energy density of 654 Wh kg−1 based on the redox of Mn3+/Mn4+, and a capacity retention of 98.2% after 100 cycles. This investigation will shed lights on the tuneable chemical environments of transition-metal oxides for advanced cathode materials and promote the development of sodium-ion batteries
Language Identification and Morphosyntactic Tagging: The Second VarDial Evaluation Campaign
We present the results and the findings of the Second VarDial Evaluation Campaign on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Similar Languages, Varieties and Dialects. The campaign was organized as part of the fifth edition of the VarDial workshop, collocated with COLING’2018. This year, the campaign included five shared tasks, including two task re-runs – Arabic Dialect Identification (ADI) and German Dialect Identification (GDI) –, and three new tasks – Morphosyntactic Tagging of Tweets (MTT), Discriminating between Dutch and Flemish in Subtitles (DFS), and Indo-Aryan Language Identification (ILI). A total of 24 teams submitted runs across the five shared tasks, and contributed 22 system description papers, which were included in the VarDial workshop proceedings and are referred to in this report.Non peer reviewe
A Generative Verification Framework on Statistical Stability for Data-Driven Controllers
This study proposes a novel framework for evaluating the stability of data-driven controllers and the concept of statistical stability. The proposed framework can be used when it is challenging to show stability through conventional control theory. The novelty of this paper lies in that it provides a method for scientifically analyzing the stability of data-driven controllers, thereby improving the quality of data-driven controllers. The proposed framework consists of three parts: the generative model, controller optimizer, and verification model. A variational autoencoder is used to classify and randomly generate data, and the generated data are used to train the controller. A support vector machine is used to classify areas where the controller is statistically stable. The statistical stability of an optimal controller designed using a deep neural network structure is analyzed using the proposed framework
