Les savants et la sorcière by Eléonore Devevey, Jacob Lachat

This book was indeed a focus of critical analysis for researchers in the human and social sciences, at the time when these fields were getting more institutional. …”

Blind spectrum sensing based on goodness of fit test for cognitive radio in noise of uncertain power by Lei SHEN, Hai-quan WANG, Zhi-jin ZHAO, Min-hong SUN

“…Based on t-distribution and Anderson-Darling test,the first,a method was proposed of spectrum sensing under assumptions that the noise variance was unknown and also the channel information was unknown.Indeed,the sensing was conducted based on Anderson-Darling distance between the distribution of ratio of sample’s mean to sample’s variance and the t-distribution.The second,another sensing method was proposed,under the same assumptions as the above,based on Anderson-Darling distance between the empirical characteristic function and a known characteristic function.The third,lower bounds on detection probabilities of sensings above were given for a flat,slow fading channel.Theoretical analysis and simulations show that the performances of proposed methods are much better than energy detector-based sensing with known noise variance,especially under an environment of a low signal to noise ration(SNR),or small number of samples.…”

Aller voir des animaux : analyse des offres touristiques d’observation de la faune sauvage dans les Alpes françaises by Louis Defraiteur, Laine Chanteloup, Clémence Perrin-Malterre
