Zhang, Xiaoyu (author), Chandrasegaran, R.S.K. (author), Ma, Kwan Liu (author)Current text visualization techniques typically provide overviews of document content and structure using intrinsic properties such as term frequencies, co-occurrences, and sentence structures. Such visualizations lack conceptual overviews incorporating domain-relevant knowledge, needed when examining documents such as research articles or...conference paper 2021

Wang, Yujie (author), Zhang, Qunfei (author), Ma, Shengqian (author), Zhang, Lingling (author), Han, Jing (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Differential orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is attractive for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications because it can eliminate channel estimation, resulting in a substantial reduction of complexity at the receiver. However, when the channel is time-varying, it may suffer from serious inter-vector interference (IVI), which is...conference paper 2023

Zhang, Qiming (author), Han, Yazhou (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Ma, Manjun (author)In this paper the wave propagation dynamics of a Lotka-Volterra type of model with cubic competition is studied. The existence of traveling waves and the uniqueness of spreading speeds are established. It is also shown that the spreading speed is equal to the minimal speed for traveling waves. Furthermore, general conditions for the linear or...journal article 2022
