OFDM Signal Processing and Analysis in the Presence of Noise Using Wavelet Transform for Temporal Synchronization by V. V. Egorov, D. M. Klionskiy

“…The known solutions of the temporal synchronization problem in the case of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal transmission employ a guard interval for computing the periodic autocorrelation function of the analyzed OFDM-signal, which leads to unproductive costs of the time-frequency resource. In this paper, we discuss the problem of processing and analysis of OFDM-signals in the presence of noise and estimation of the time point of OFDM-signal arrival.Aim. …”

Combined renewable resource exploitation: Implications for the all-island Irish electricity supply system by Hafiz Ahsan Said, Agustina Skiarski, John V. Ringwood

“…This analysis reveals that maintaining some level of fossil-fuel generation, though non-ideal from a climate action perspective, may be beneficial in terms of the required storage size, and associated costs. Based on the optimal storage sizing results, we perform a techno-economic feasibility analysis for different storage modalities, finding that hydrogen storage may not be the best option for Ireland due to its lower cycle (turn-around) efficiency compared to other storage technologies. …”

Leveraging Neural Trojan Side-Channels for Output Exfiltration by Vincent Meyers, Michael Hefenbrock, Dennis Gnad, Mehdi Tahoori

“…To achieve low latency and high efficiency, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are increasingly being employed as accelerators for neural network inference in cloud and edge devices. However, the rising costs and complexity of neural network training have led to the widespread use of outsourcing of training, pre-trained models, and machine learning services, raising significant concerns about security and trust. …”

Four-party evolutionary game of collaborative recycling and management of takeaway packaging waste by JIA Yajuan, JI Yuexin

“…[Results] (1) When the government adopted a high-intensity regulatory strategy, the efficiency of the recycling and management system for takeaway packaging waste increased, and vice versa. (2) Under stringent government regulation, higher reputation conversion rates and greater incentive and penalty mechanisms could effectively motivate restaurants and third-party recycling companies to cooperate in building green recycling channels. (3) The effect of opportunity costs on consumer recycling strategies was not significant, while government subsidies could make consumers’ participation in recycling a practical, long-term, and stable choice. …”
