The super-resolution method has been widely used for improving azimuth resolution for radar forward-looking imaging. Typically, it can be achieved by solving an undifferentiable L1 regularization problem. The split Bregman algorithm (SBA) is a great tool for solving this undifferentiable problem. However, its real-time imaging ability is limited to matrix inversion and iterations. Although previous studies have used the special structure of the coefficient matrix to reduce the computational complexity of each iteration, the real-time performance is still limited due to the need for hundreds of iterations. In this paper, a superfast SBA (SFSBA) is proposed to overcome this shortcoming. Firstly, the super-resolution problem is transmitted into an L1 regularization problem in the framework of regularization. Then, the proposed SFSBA is used to solve the nondifferentiable L1 regularization problem. Different from the traditional SBA, the proposed SFSBA utilizes the low displacement rank features of Toplitz matrix, along with the Gohberg-Semencul (GS) representation to realize fast inversion of the coefficient matrix, reducing the computational complexity of each iteration from O(N3) to O(N2). It uses a two-order vector extrapolation strategy to reduce the number of iterations. The convergence speed is increased by about 8 times. Finally, the simulation and real data processing results demonstrate that the proposed SFSBA can effectively improve the azimuth resolution of radar forward-looking imaging, and its performance is only slightly lower compared to traditional SBA. The hardware test shows that the computational efficiency of the proposed SFSBA is much higher than that of other traditional super-resolution methods, which would meet the real-time requirements in practice.

The real-time system is now used on many fields, such as telecommunication, military, information system, evenmedical to get information quickly, on time and accurate. Needless to say, a real-time system will always considerthe performance time. In our application, we define the time target/deadline, so that the system should execute thewhole tasks under predefined deadline. However, if the system failed to finish the tasks, it will lead to fatal failure.In other words, if the system cannot be executed on time, it will affect the subsequent tasks. In this paper, wepropose a real-time system for sending data to find effectiveness and efficiency. Sending data process will beconstructed in MATLAB and sending data process has a time target as when data will send.

Developing a microcontroller-based system for controlling the flywheel motor of high-dynamics spacecraft using Russian-made parts and components made it possible to make statement of the problem of searching control function for a preset rotation rate of the flywheel rotor. This paper discusses one of the possible options for mathematical study of the stated problem, namely, application of structural analysis based on graph theory. Within the framework of the stated problem a graph was constructed for generating the new required rate, while in order to consider the stochastic case option the incidence and adjacency matrices were constructed. The stated problem was solved using a power matrix which transforms a set of contiguous matrices of the graph of admissible solution edge sequences, the real-time control function was found. Based on the results of this work, operational trials were run for the developed control function of the flywheel motor rotor rotation rate, a math model was constructed for the real-time control function, and conclusions were drawn about the feasibility of implementing the results of this study. Key words: Control function, graph, incidence matrix, adjacency matrix, power matrix, microcontroller control of the flywheel motor, highly dynamic spacecraft.

Introduction: Infection with HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. Determining HPV infection and the types of HPV plays an important role in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cervicitis/cervical cancer. Aims: Determining proportion of high-risk HPV types and the occurrence of coinfection with multiple HPV types. Methods: 177 women with cervicitis or abnormal Pap smear result were enrolled in the study. Performing the real-time PCR for detecting HPV and the reverse DOT-BLOT assay for determining type of HPV in cases of positive PCR. Results: 7 types of high-risk HPV was dectected, the majority of these types were HPV type 18 (74.6%) and HPV type 16 (37.6%); the proportion of infection with only one type of HPV was 30.4% and coinfection with multiple HPV types was higher (69.6%), the coinfected cases with 2 and 3 types were dominated (32.2% and 20.3%, respectively) and the coinfected cases with 4 and 5 types were rare. Conclusion: Use of the real-time PCR and reverse DOT-BLOT assay can determine the high-risk HPV types and the occurrence of coinfection with multiple HPV types. Key words: HPV type, Reverse DOT-BLOT, real-time PCR,PCR, cervical cancer
