The purpose of this paper is to derive a hybrid simplex genetic algorithm for nonlinear channel blind equalization using RBF networks. Most of the algorithms for blind equalization are focused on linear channel models because of their simplicity. However, most practical channels are better...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new method for blind equalization using parallel Bayesian decision feedback equalizer (DFE). Blind equalization based on decision-directed algorithm, including the previous proposed Chen’s blind Bayesian DFE, cannot give the correct convergence without...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate how top executives’ compensation is associated with environmental performance in the Chinese context and how this association varies with differing levels of industrial competition. Design/methodology/approach – Combining...

This paper demonstrates the implications of adopting an approach to measuring poverty that takes into account the lifetime experience of individuals rather than simply taking a static or cross-sectional perspective. Our approach follows the theoretical innovations in Hoy and Zheng (2008) which...
