Alzheimer's Disease patients often exhibit cognitive decline, with language impairment being a prominent biomarker. Spontaneous speech analysis provides a non-invasive screening approach for AD. Large language models, increasingly employed for textual feature extraction, show potential in early AD prediction. However, Automatic Speech Recognition transcription errors, stemming from language impairments in AD and Mild Cognitive Impairment patients, can lead to information loss during feature extraction. To mitigate this, we introduce the Corrected ASR Projecting, CAP model. During training, ASR-transcribed text is manually corrected one by one, and then textual features are extracted independently using BERT, Claude, GLM, and GPT-3. The CAP model is trained by aligning the ASR transcription feature space with the corrected ASR transcription feature space. Experiments on the NCMMSC 2021 dataset demonstrate that the CAP model improves classification performance for AD recognition, with the maximum accuracy improvement reaching 5.55%.

This paper investigates the impact of imperfect channel state information (ipCSI) on the performance of RIS-assisted NOMA vehicular networks while considering the effect of imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC). Moreover, we present novel closed-form pairwise error probability (PEP) expressions with arbitrary L users. The PEP is used to evaluate the union bound on the bit error rate of NOMA users. Finally, the analysis is supported by numerical and Monte Carlo simulation results. We show that the impact of ipCSI with ipSIC on each user’s error rate performance is great at the high P s . We also confirm that the error rate performance of the system decreases with the increase of RUs.

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is an emerging paradigm designed to provide storage, computing and communication capabilities in the proximity of end-user devices. This approach facilitates the deployment of real-time on mobile devices with limited capabilities. To realize the MEC goals, it is essential to effectively manage and offload computing tasks to both edge and cloud-based resources. However, the dynamic nature, uncertainty and mobility within edge computing environments pose significant challenges to resource management. Furthermore, the inherent software and hardware heterogeneity, coupled with the distributed nature of architecture, complicates the development of efficient task offloading strategies that can adeptly manage resources across both edge and cloud platforms. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based task edge orchestrator, where edge servers are grouped based on service demands, resource ability and other factors to improve the overall service. Our proposed method leverages the K-Medoids clustering algorithm to dynamically form clusters of suitable edge servers for offloading computing tasks with minimum response time. To validate our proposed solution, we have orchestrated a comprehensive series of tests using EdgeCloudSim. Results show that our approach outperforms its competitor in terms of average service time by around 8 %.

The data consistency protocol is a core component of distributed data services that provide fault-tolerance and data consistency across distributed data centers and even edge networks. Raft is a popular approach due to its ease of implementation and superior performance. However, Raft adopts a sequential log entry processing strategy, where log entries without dependencies are not allowed to be processed in parallel, limiting system performance in high-concurrency scenarios. To address this challenge, researchers propose Raft-based protocols that support out-of-order apply (OOApply), which is called OORaft. Existing OORaft protocols adopt the Paxos-style election and replication process to merge missing entries on leader candidates. It leads to problems such as extra overhead on dependency analysis, availability when the network is partitioned, and incomplete correctness verification. This paper proposes a concise paralleled Raft protocol called CP-Raft, which is the first OORaft protocol to focus on dependency analysis overhead and to use full TLA+ validation for the leader election process. Specifically, 1) CP-Raft proposes a Raft-aligned three-step election method that significantly simplifies the difficulty of understanding and solves the availability problem when the network is partitioned. 2) CP-Raft applies a leader-side bitmap-based dependency analysis and representation method to break through the performance bottleneck caused by the high overhead of dependency analysis. 3) CP-Raft discusses why existing methods cannot achieve OORaft correctness verification using TLA+ in a limited time and uses phased verification methods to ensure its correctness. Finally, we implement CP-Raft based on an open-source Raft protocol and discuss its potential performance bottlenecks in various scenarios. The experimental results under high dependency strength workloads demonstrate that CP-Raft achieves 1.5× transaction per second (TPS) performance of DP

The paper presents project and its verification of a prototype integrated circuit containing an analog, programmable finite impulse response (FIR) filter, implemented in CMOS 350 nm technology. The structure of the filter is based on the switched capacitor technique. In circuits of this type, one of main challenges is an efficient implementation of filter coefficients, which result from several factors described in this work. When implementing such filters as programmable circuits, the values of their coefficients have to be limited to a selected range, i.e. a given resolution in bits. In the implemented prototype filter, the filter coefficients are represented by 6 bits in sign-magnitude notation, so they can take 63 different values only. In such filters, it is not possible to directly implement any frequency response of the filter. Each time, it is necessary to properly round the theoretical values of the coefficients so that they fit into the available range of discrete values resulting from the implementation. The authors of the work designed an algorithm that allows such matching. The paper also presents results of measurements of the prototype chip.

This paper presents a novel coaxial cavity filter using in 5G NR Base Stations. The resonant cylinder utilizes stepped impedance technology combined with folding edge bending and rectangular zigzag arm structure on the top to improve the electrical coupling mainline. Therefore, dimensions of cavity filter are reduced while maintaining the filter performance parameters. This proposed resonator is verified in the design of one filter integrated in C-Band 5G station with ten orders and four zero points. The dimensions of the filter are only 56.81 mm x 15.56 mm x 9.5 mm (length x width x height). The simulation results show the passband of 304MHz, the return loss of 15.6dB, the insertion loss of 0.1dB. These specifications are suitable for applying in Band C 5G network.
