This article proposes constrained adaptive algorithms based on the conjugate gradient (CG) method for adaptive beamforming. The proposed algorithms are derived for the implementation of the beamformer according to the minimum variance and constant modulus criteria subject to a constraint on the array response. A CG-based weight vector strategy is created for enforcing the constraint and computi...

Mutations in CCM1 (aka KRIT1), CCM2, or CCM3 (aka PDCD10) gene cause cerebral cavernous malformation in humans. Mouse models of CCM disease have been established by deleting Ccm genes in postnatal animals. These mouse models provide invaluable tools to investigate molecular mechanism and therapeutic approaches for CCM disease. However, the full value of these animal models is limited by the lac...

In this paper, we study the performance of blind adaptive beamforming algorithms for smart antennas in realistic environments. A constrained constant modulus (CCM) design criterion is described and used for deriving a recursive least squares (RLS) type optimization algorithm. Furthermore, two kinds of scenarios are considered in the paper for analyzing its performance. Simulations are performed...

Applying case-based reasoning (CBR) to analyze the effect of collaborative cost management (CCM) in supply chain is a new research topic. This paper illustrates a new method which combining four steps of CCM and procedures of CBR with fuzzy inference model. The method improves the traditional similarity assessment and obtains the most suitable case to solve new problems. Moreover, this study gi...

This paper proposes two low-complexity adaptive step size mechanisms for adaptive beamforming that employs stochastic gradient (SG) algorithms. The algorithms employ the constrained constant modulus (CCM) criterion as the design approach. A complexity comparison is given and a convergence analysis is developed for illustrating their properties. Theoretical expressions of the excess mean squared...

This study is oriented on the preparation of lactic acid fermented cabbage juices with addition of inulin preparation FRUTAFIT®. Vegetable juices were inoculated by lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus amylovorus, CCM 4380, Lactobacillus amylophilus CCM 7001, CCM 7039 Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium longum CCM 4990, and a mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum CCM 7039 and Bifidobacterium l...

Levy and Montalvo, Yao, and Shima individually proposed tunneling algorithms. The tunneling algorithms employ analogy to tunnel effect in physics, and are used to optimize continuous systems. The present paper proposes a method of solving combinatorial problems using a type of randomized dynamic tunneling technique. This method is based on a computational model called CCM*. CCM* is an extended ...

The present paper proposes a method of solving the fuzzy constraint satisfaction problems defined by Ruttkay. This method is based on CCM, which is a computational model for emergent computation, or for locality-based problem solving. CCM is a type of production system. It works stochastically, or randomly, and works with evaluation functions that are computed only with local information. CCM h...
