Techniques for Improved Convergence in Neighboring Optimum Guidance

Dental Students’ Perception Towards Behavior Guidance Techniques in Pediatric Dentistry

Background and Aim: Management of children’s behavior is fundamental to a successful and effective dental treatment for children. This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of dental students towards behavior guidance techniques in pediatric dentistry. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on dental students from three different levels of education. A questionnair...

An Experience Oriented-Convergence Improved Gravitational Search Algorithm for Minimum Variance Distortionless Response Beamforming Optimum

An experience oriented-convergence improved gravitational search algorithm (ECGSA) based on two new modifications, searching through the best experiments and using of a dynamic gravitational damping coefficient (α), is introduced in this paper. ECGSA saves its best fitness function evaluations and uses those as the agents' positions in searching process. In this way, the optimal found trajector...

Multiple Pheromones for Improved Guidance

Synthetic pheromone systems offer great potential for spatial coordination in multi-agent systems. Initial experiments with such a system applied to the control of air operations has identified the concept of local guidance that is critical to designing such a system, and that can be supported by using multiple pheromones with differing characteristics. This paper reviews the basic mechanisms o...

Optimum Nyquist windowing for improved OFDM receivers

Conventional Orthogonal Frequency–Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers disregard oversized guard intervals. An (adaptive) Nyquist–shaped receive window could exploit signal samples in its unconsumed portion to improve demodulation. The OFDM transmitter is not modified, subcarrier orthogonality is preserved, and the DFT size may be retained. In this paper, we optimize the window shape by consi...
