基于CRC的ASM信号维特比纠错算法

为提高甚高频数据交换系统(very high frequency data exchange system, VDES)中应用特定消息(application-specific messages, ASM)的解码性能, 提出一种基于循环冗余校验(cyclic redundancy check, CRC)的改进维特比纠错算法。通过合理降低符号状态数和使用部分CRC参与纠错, 使该算法平衡了纠错性能和计算量, 同时提出了新的分支度量以解决过于理想化的传统分支度量导致的性能损失。仿真表明, 新分支度量相比传统分支度量提升了1 dB的误帧率(packet error rate, PER)性能, 在用12个CRC寄存器参与纠错的条件下，该方法比相干解调算法提升了1 dB的PER性能, 同时通过合理的符号状态数降低策略将计算量降为传统算法的1/4。     

多用户正交多级差分混沌键控通信系统

针对传统差分混沌键控(differential chaos shift keying, DCSK)采用多电平方式传输多进制信息导致误比特率(bit error rate, BER)高的缺点,提出一种多用户正交多级DCSK(multi-user orthogonal multi-level DCSK, MOM-DCSK)通信系统。该系统将传输的多进制信息映射为不同的传输系数,多个传输系数分别乘以对应的Walsh码后调制在信息承载信号上,并且通过不同的延时传输多用户信息。在加性高斯白噪声(additive white Gaussian noise, AWGN)信道和多径Rayleigh衰落信道中推导了系统的理论BER公式并进行了仿真分析。结果显示，该系统在传输多进制信息时拥有较好的误码性能,并且在多用户传输领域中有较好的实际应用价值。

Microstructure,mechanical properties and wear resistance of an Al–Mg–Si alloy produced by equal channel angular pressing

Microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance in an ultrafine-grained Al–Mg–Si alloy fabricated utilizing a combination of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and dynamic aging were investigated in this paper. The results indicated that the grain size of the ECAP alloy was significantly refined, i.e., to ~239 nm after three ECAP passes. Meanwhile, the yield and tensile strength of the ECAPed material reached 340 MPa and 445 MPa, respectively, while maintaining a significant uniform elongation of 14%. Wear resistance results demonstrated that the wear rate, wear depth and width of the ECAPed material decreased in comparison with the solution-treated (SST) and peak-aged (T6) conditions under a load range of 5–25 N. The adhesive wear that occurs in the undeformed specimens at 10 N does not appear in the ECAPed specimen at the same load, indicating that the ECAPed specimen delay the appearance of more serious wear mechanisms under certain loads. The cooperative interaction of high density nano-scale β" precipitates and dislocations resulted in a combination of super-high strength and good work hardening ability which suppressed the extension of cracks between the friction layer and the plastic deformation zone. As a consequence, the combination of ECAP and dynamic aging brings a significant improvement for antifriction performance of the 6061 aluminum alloy.     

Constructing and evaluating core inflation measures from component‐level inflation data

This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of 10 measures of core inflation and evaluates which measure produces the best forecast of headline inflation out‐of‐sample. We use the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index as our measure of inflation. We use two sets of components (17 and 50) of the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index to construct these core inflation measures and evaluate these measures at the three time horizons (6, 12 and 24 months) most relevant for monetary policy decisions. The best measure of core inflation for both sets of components and over all time horizons uses weights based on the first principal component of the disaggregated (component‐level) prices. Interestingly, the results vary by the number of components used; when more components are used the weights based on the persistence of each component is statistically equivalent to the weights generated by the first principal component. However, those forecasts using the persistence of 50 components are statistically worse than those generated using the first principal component of 17 components. The statistical superiority of the principal component method is due to the fact that it extracts (in the first principal component) the common source of variation in the component level prices that accurately describes trend inflation over the next 6–24 months.     

丙酸盐对厌氧氨氧化除氮性能及群落结构的影响

为了探究有机碳对厌氧氨氧化的长期影响, 向厌氧氨氧化膜生物反应器中添加不同浓度的丙酸钠, 研究对反应器的除氮效能以及微生物的种群结构和功能变化。结果表明: 反应器主要的脱氮过程由CandidatusBrocadia完成, 当丙酸钠浓度为100 mg/L时, 反应器中由于异养细菌的生长, 可实现碳氮的同步去除, 平均总氮去除率可达91.9%。当丙酸钠浓度为200 mg/L 时, 对Candidatus Brocadia的抑制作用导致反应器除氮性能下降, Candidatus Brocadia的丰度降至41.2%, 总氮去除率降至 78.8%。在有机碳抑制作用解除后, 反应器的除氮性能恢复为86.8%, Candidatus Brocadia丰度增加到54.0%, 但群落多样性下降, 属水平的微生物组成有较大的改变。     

Forecasting in long horizons using smoothed direct forecast

This paper constructs a forecast method that obtains long‐horizon forecasts with improved performance through modification of the direct forecast approach. Direct forecasts are more robust to model misspecification compared to iterated forecasts, which makes them preferable in long horizons. However, direct forecast estimates tend to have jagged shapes across horizons. Our forecast method aims to “smooth out” erratic estimates across horizons while maintaining the robust aspect of direct forecasts through ridge regression, which is a restricted regression on the first differences of regression coefficients. The forecasts are compared to the conventional iterated and direct forecasts in two empirical applications: real oil prices and US macroeconomic series. In both applications, our method shows improvement over direct forecasts.     

Methods for backcasting,nowcasting and forecasting using factor‐MIDAS: With an application to Korean GDP

We utilize mixed‐frequency factor‐MIDAS models for the purpose of carrying out backcasting, nowcasting, and forecasting experiments using real‐time data. We also introduce a new real‐time Korean GDP dataset, which is the focus of our experiments. The methodology that we utilize involves first estimating common latent factors (i.e., diffusion indices) from 190 monthly macroeconomic and financial series using various estimation strategies. These factors are then included, along with standard variables measured at multiple different frequencies, in various factor‐MIDAS prediction models. Our key empirical findings as follows. (i) When using real‐time data, factor‐MIDAS prediction models outperform various linear benchmark models. Interestingly, the “MSFE‐best” MIDAS models contain no autoregressive (AR) lag terms when backcasting and nowcasting. AR terms only begin to play a role in “true” forecasting contexts. (ii) Models that utilize only one or two factors are “MSFE‐best” at all forecasting horizons, but not at any backcasting and nowcasting horizons. In these latter contexts, much more heavily parametrized models with many factors are preferred. (iii) Real‐time data are crucial for forecasting Korean gross domestic product, and the use of “first available” versus “most recent” data “strongly” affects model selection and performance. (iv) Recursively estimated models are almost always “MSFE‐best,” and models estimated using autoregressive interpolation dominate those estimated using other interpolation methods. (v) Factors estimated using recursive principal component estimation methods have more predictive content than those estimated using a variety of other (more sophisticated) approaches. This result is particularly prevalent for our “MSFE‐best” factor‐MIDAS models, across virtually all forecast horizons, estimation schemes, and data vintages that are analyzed.     

外汇欧式期权在市场不完备下的对冲误差分析

本文研究了外汇欧式期权的对冲误差问题,针对典型的静态和动态Delta对冲策略,在对冲过程不连续和利率平价公式不成立的市场不完备情形下,给出了即期对冲和远期对冲的对冲误差公式,从而能够更准确地衡量实际对冲组合产生的风险.在研究Delta对冲策略过程中,本文提出了一个包含摩擦系数ε的外汇远期汇率模型,并通过分析即期对冲和远期对冲的差异,给出了最优对冲方式的判别条件.该判别条件依赖于摩擦系数ε,做市商仅通过对摩擦系数ε实时的监控,便可以选择最优的风险对冲方式,从而提高了对冲效率.本文提出的对冲误差的具体解析式和最优对冲方式的判别条件为外汇期权对冲及其风险管理提供了理论依据.实证结果表明,本文提出的期望收益差与实际对冲组合的收益差基本一致,从而验证了判别条件的合理性.
