Eel and Grouper Optimizer improvement three-stage algorithm for photovoltaic MPPT by ZiJian Zhou, YanHong Fang

“…Photovoltaic power generation system is extremely sensitive to the change of illumination, when it is obscured by dust, cloud shadows, etc., it will produce a power voltage characteristic curve with multi-peak characteristics, and the traditional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology will fall into the local optimal solution when it meets multiple peaks. …”

Robust Identification of Vegetation Change Using Shapelet-Based Temporal Segmentation of Landsat Time-Series Stacks: A Case Study in the Qilian Mountains by Lipeng Jiao, Randolph H. Wynne

“…A temporal sliding window-based anomaly checking procedure is applied to the annual maximum composite of spectral vegetation indices in the growing season to remove the unmasked clouds, cloud shadows, and other temporary changes. Then, an iterative shapelet searching algorithm is performed on each given time series trajectory to filter out all atypical subseries. …”

Influence of Geometry and Boundary Conditions in Area of the Cohesion between Materials on the Reflection of an Ultrasonic Beam. Part 2. Features of Experimental Simulation by A. R. Baev, N. V. Levkovitch, M. V. Asadchaya, A. L. Mayorov, G. I. Razmyslovich, A. Y. Burnos

“…The aim of the work was to experimentally simulate ultrasonic scattering by samples of proposed defect simulator designs with discretely and smoothly varying boundary conditions correlating with the phase response of longitudinal waves during their interaction with the defect boundary of contacting materials.A brief analysis of some methods and means for experimental simulation of the volume and surface wave scattering at the interfaces of contacting materials as applied to improvement of method of detection of poorly detectable adhesion defects of materials proposed earlier was carried out. For this purpose an immersion installation working in the shadow mode and allowing for simulation the spatial fields of scattered longitudinal waves at inhomogeneous or defective adhesion boundaries was developed and constructed. …”

Characterization of Path-Loss Disparity in Virtual Multiple-Input-Single-Output Links by Haejoon Jung, Mary Ann Weitnauer

“…Many authors model the path loss of the VMISO link as though the elements in the virtual antenna array are colocated, even though they are spread out. In this paper, we show that the spreading causes a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) penalty of up to 3 dB. …”

Measurement and modeling of indoor off-body channel in the 9.5～10.5 GHz band by Shanhu HUANG, Jun SUN, Haofei CHANG, Wenjun LV, Qin YANG

“…In order to explore the wireless propagation characteristics of high-frequency indoor off-body channel, off-body channel measurements were carried out on multiple typical indoor scenes in the 9.5～10.5 GHz frequency band.In terms of large-scale fading, through studying the path loss, it is found that the human body occlusion factor has a sine function relationship with the rotation angle, and a negative exponential relationship with the distance between the receiver and transmitter.Therefore, a new type of off-body channel loss model related to distance and angle was established, and the accuracy and applicability of the new model was proved based on the shadow fading.In terms of small-scale fading, by analyzing the linear correlation between path loss and root mean square (RMS) delay spread, a new type of RMS delay spreading model related to distance and angle was obtained.It proves that the greater the distance between the antenna at the transceiver end and the occlusion factor caused by the rotation of the human body, the more severe the path loss and multipath fading.The new channel model can be used to design the off-body link of the internet of things environment body area network (BAN), providing a theoretical and practical basis for the future design of indoor wireless communication systems.…”
