Cover Story: Viruses do not maintain homeostasis and depend on the environment. They prefer aqueous environments because the information life-cycle of a virus is dominated by entropic hydrophobic forces that are needed for self-assembly. This makes viruses similar to macroscale objects, such as liquid marbles, and enables their study using novel droplet cluster technology. View this paper

Error Exponents of LDPC Codes under Low-Complexity Decoding

  • Pavel Rybin,
  • Kirill Andreev and
  • Victor Zyablov

22 February 2021

This paper deals with the specific construction of binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. We derive lower bounds on the error exponents for these codes transmitted over the memoryless binary symmetric channel (BSC) for both the well-known maxi...

Exploiting Superpixels for Multi-Focus Image Fusion

  • Areeba Ilyas,
  • Muhammad Shahid Farid,
  • Muhammad Hassan Khan and
  • Marcin Grzegorzek

21 February 2021

Multi-focus image fusion is the process of combining focused regions of two or more images to obtain a single all-in-focus image. It is an important research area because a fused image is of high quality and contains more details than the source imag...

Misalignment Fault Diagnosis for Wind Turbines Based on Information Fusion

  • Yancai Xiao,
  • Jinyu Xue,
  • Long Zhang,
  • Yujia Wang and
  • Mengdi Li

20 February 2021

Most conventional wind turbine fault diagnosis techniques only use a single type of signal as fault feature and their performance could be limited to such signal characteristics. In this paper, multiple types of signals including vibration, temperatu...
