Jamming-Resistant AAV Communications: A Multichannel-Aided Approach
Jamming cancellation is essential to reliable unmanned autonomous vehicle (AAV) communications in the presence of malicious jammers. In this paper, we develop a practical multichannel-aided jamming cancellation method to realize secure AAV communications. The proposed method is capable of simultaneously achieving timing/frequency synchronization as well as jamming cancellation. More importantly, our method does not need the signal's/jammer's channel state information. It only utilizes the knowl…

I've never written a novel or any other intensely-plotted work of fiction, but anyone who has read or watched it played a lot of stories can probably also recognize that some authors just aren't good at endings. They're great at setting things in motion, at keeping the twists and turns coming, at the soap opera style of drama. But they just don't have the craft necessary to tie things together into a satisfying conclusion. I imagine it's much harder than the process of getting things going out keeping them moving, since you both have to wind down all the various threads you've spun up and balance satisfaction with believability.
I just finished Girl Gone Viral by Arvin Ahmadi, and it has a bad ending. The beginning is fine, the middle has plenty of drama to keep you wanting to see what happens, but the ending is murky, unsatisfying, and manages neither veracity nor satisfaction (even discounting the biggest next step that might reasonably have been left there to make room for a sequel).
Given the other issues with the book, from poor politics, to inauthentic characters, to a techno-optimism that feels as bitter in this moment as it is far from the mark in its predictions, I can't recommended it, despite having read through to the end.

The Stated Protocol: A Decentralized Framework for Digital Diplomacy
International coordination faces significant friction due to reliance on periodic summits, bilateral consultations, and fragmented communication channels that impede rapid collective responses to emerging global challenges while limiting transparency to constituents. We present the Stated Protocol, a decentralized framework that enables organizations to coordinate through standardized text statements published on their website domains. While applicable to all organizations, this work focuses pr…

Switching States: Heteroclinic Cycles as Organising Centres of Neuronal Dynamics
Neuronal networks alternate between high- and low-activity regimes, known as up and down states. They also display rhythmic patterns essential for perception, memory consolidation, and sensory processing. Despite their importance, the principles behind such state transitions remain elusive. We propose necessary conditions for the existence of a novel bifurcation structure as a universal organising centre governing these transitions. Bifurcation analysis and simulations of canonical mean-field n…

Wild looking game 'Time Flies' coming to PC & consoles later this month. You experience the life of a fly and can do all kinds of things.
The game's website is pretty cool: https://timeflies.buzz
And here's the trailer:

Time Flies – A game about our limited time in this world.
Coming July 31st to PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and computers. A game by Michael Frei and Raphaël Munoz, produced by Playables.

Stopped off in town, Broadmarsh area. Sat on a rock for a bit and read my book.
I don't often go into town these days, but I was reminded of this nice little garden area when the May Day march met round the corner the other week, and I thought I would have a rest there today before coming home.
Lovely to see the flowers growing there now. I really like that the city council went in that direction for that bit of the land.

Advantages of Feedback in Distributed Data-Gathering for Accurate and Power-Efficient State-Estimation
In distributed target-tracking sensor networks, efficient data gathering methods are necessary to save communication resources and assure information accuracy. This paper proposes a Feedback (FB) distributed data-gathering method which lets the central unit feed information back to the mobile sensors; each sensor then uses it to cancel redundant transmissions and reduce communication congestion. We rigorously compare its performance, in terms of mean-squared error (MSE) and cost of power per se…

Conclusive Local State Marking: More Nonlocality With No Entanglement
Nonlocality exhibited by ensembles of composite quantum states, wherein local operations and classical communication (LOCC) yield suboptimal discrimination probabilities compared to global strategies, is one of the striking nonclassical features of quantum theory. A variant of this phenomenon arises in conclusive local state discrimination, where the correct state must be identified with zero error, albeit allowing for inconclusive outcomes. More recently, the notion of local state marking has …
