Threshold Computation for Spatially Coupled Turbo-Like Codes on the AWGN Channel

In this paper, we perform a belief propagation (BP) decoding threshold analysis of spatially coupled (SC) turbo-like codes (TCs) (SC-TCs) on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. We review Monte-Carlo density evolution (MC-DE) and efficient prediction methods, which determine the BP thresholds of SC-TCs over the AWGN channel. We demonstrate that instead of performing time-consuming MC-

Bit : An examination of the explanatory power of a meaning potential approach to the description of lexical meaning

Through a detailed examination of the use of the lexical item bit in four English language corpora, this study assesses whether the assumptions guiding a meaning potential perspective on lexical meaning (e.g. Allwood 1999, 2003; Croft and Cruse 2004, Paradis 2005; Fauconnier 2007) are reconcilable with a practicable description and explanation of attested language use. To this end, the study emplo

Installing PV: Barriers and enablers experienced by non-residential property owners

There is huge potential to increase installation of photovoltaics (PV) using the roofs of non-residential buildings. While barriers to and enablers of the adoption of PV in residential buildings are well studied, this is not the case for non-residential buildings. This article is intended to fill this research gap by mapping barriers to and enablers of PV adoption by property owners of non-residen

Predictive information and maintenance optimization based on decision theory : a case study considering a welded joint in an offshore wind turbine support structure

Predictive information and maintenance optimization for deteriorating structures is concerned with scheduling (a) the collection of information by inspection and monitoring and (b) maintenance actions such as repair, replacement, and retrofitting based on updated predictions of the future condition of the structural system. In this article, we consider the problem of jointly identifying—at the beg

Stop evaluating science: A historical-sociological argument

Although science has been a formidably successful force of social and technological development in the modern era, and a main reason for the wealth and well-being of current societies compared to previous times, a fundamental distrust characterizes its current status in society. According to prevalent discourse, science is insufficiently productive and in need of stricter governance and bureaucrat

On the essential role of organized skepticism in science’s “internal and lawful autonomy” (Eigengesetzlichkeit)

The institution of science is said to be under pressure from political, economic and social interests, manifested in alleged bureaucratization, managerial reforms, anti-intellectual movements on university campuses, and widespread questioning of expert knowledge in society. Commercialization of academic publishing and the growth of competitive funding have increased the importance of journal and g
