WordNet is a large lexical database of English, developed under the direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet s structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.
Swarm intelligence algorithms are based on natural
behaviors. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a
stochastic search and optimization tool. Changes in the
PSO parameters, namely the inertia weight and the
cognitive and social acceleration constants, affect the
performance of the search process. This paper presents a
novel method to dynamically change the values of these
parameters during the search. Adaptive critic design
(ACD) has been applied for dynamically changing the
values of the PSO parameters.

wxPython In Action，By combining introductions, overviews, and how-to examples, the In Action
books are designed to help learning and remembering. According to research in
cognitive science, the things people remember are things they discover during
self-motivated exploration.
I saw the light of the future when I first read Ray Kurzweil’s best-seller book The
Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. One cubic inch of nanotube cir-
cuitry, once fully developed, would be up to one hundred million times more powerful
than the human brain.
Today’s wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the
conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access
in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing.
New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating
this demand through better resource management and improved transmission
technologies.
According to the statistics of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), temporal and geographical variations in the utilization of the as-
signed spectrum range from 15% to 85%. The limited available radio spec-
trum and the inefficiency in spectrum usage necessitate a new commu-
nication paradigm to exploit the existing spectrum dynamically.
Wireless technology has been evolving at a breakneck speed. The total number of
cell-phones in use (as of 2011) was over 6 billion for a 7 billion world population [1]
constituting 87% of the world population. Additionally, with user convenience be-
coming paramount, more and more functions are being implemented wirelessly.
This thesis is about wireless communication in shared radio spectrum. Its origin and
motivation is ideally represented by the two quotations from above. In this thesis, the
support of Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cognitive radio networks is analyzed. New
approaches to distributed coordination of cognitive radios are developed in different
spectrum sharing scenarios. The Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 802.11 proto-
col of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (IEEE, 2003) with
its enhancement for QoS support (IEEE, 2005d) is taken as basis. The Medium Access
Control (MAC) of 801.11(e) is modified to realize flexible and dynamic spectrum
assignment within a liberalized regulation framework.
his research aims at creating broadband tunable, fully integrated filters for the application of
cognitive radio and signal classification receivers. The approach under study is the N-path filter
technique which is capable of translating a baseband impedance to a reference frequency creating
a tunable filter. The traditional N-path filter suffers from fundamental architectural limitations,
namely : a trade-off between insertion loss and out-of-band rejection, reference clock feed-
through, and jammer power handling limitations. In the first approach, the fundamental trade-
off of the traditional N-path filter between insertion loss and out-of-band rejection is improved by
a transmission line (T-line) N-path filter technique.
