    This paper presents a method for estimating the time of arrival (ToA) of long term evolution (LTE) signals received on multiple separate transmission bands by the same base station (BS) mast. By exploiting the overall bandwidth occupied by the different signals and the correlation between the corresponding channel impulse responses, a higher precision is achieved with respect to the usually adopted single-band approach whenever the time-correlation among the bands is sufficiently high. The ToA estimation is carried out by generalizing the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm to the multi-band context, proving that the availability of multiple bands provides a reduced standard deviation for the estimated ToA, with a limited increase of the computational cost. The main analyzed issue consists in the management of the asynchrony between transmitters belonging to distinct cellular operators, which is addressed by developing a suitable method to combine the contributions provided by the different bands. The method is validated by simulations in dual- and tri-band scenarios, and is further applied to real dual-band signals measured through a portable setup and experimentally acquired from an LTE BS mast covering multiple cells.

    Differential Eye Movements During the Autobiographical Recall of Places, Events, and Thoughts/Emotions

    Recent research has suggested an important role of eye movements for spatial scene construction during autobiographical recall. In the current study we asked 18 students from the University of Trieste to retrieve recent or distant autobiographical events in response to 6 cue words. Participants sat in front of a blank screen and eye movements were recorded while they described the place and event associated with each memory. Memories were classified using the Autobiographical Interview procedure in recall periods corresponding to the event, place, and thought/emotion descriptions. Comparison of fixations and saccades across these recall periods showed statistically significant differences in the following parameters. The duration of fixations during place descriptions was longer than that of event descriptions and thought/emotion descriptions. The number of fixations per second and saccadic amplitudes were lower during place descriptions in respect to the event descriptions and thought/emotion descriptions. Finally, the number of consecutive saccades in the same direction was higher during place descriptions in respect to the event descriptions and thought/emotion descriptions. This pattern of results is compatible with an exploratory behaviour produced during the recall of places characterized by sequences of short saccades in the same direction and longer fixation periods. Instead, remembering details about thoughts, emotions and events is characterized by larger and random saccades, and short fixations. These results support the hypothesis that autobiographical memory triggers specific eye movements associated with the reconstruction of visuo-spatial layout of scenes.

    Production cross sections of [Formula presented], [Formula presented], and [Formula presented] states decaying into [Formula presented] in proton-lead (pPb) collisions are reported using data collected by the CMS experiment at sNN=5.02TeV. A comparison is made with corresponding cross sections obtained with pp data measured at the same collision energy and scaled by the Pb nucleus mass number. The nuclear modification factor for [Formula presented] is found to be [Formula presented]. Similar results for the excited states indicate a sequential suppression pattern, such that [Formula presented]. The suppression of all states is much less pronounced in pPb than in PbPb collisions, and independent of transverse momentum [Formula presented] and center-of-mass rapidity [Formula presented] of the individual [Formula presented] state in the studied range [Formula presented] and [Formula presented]. Models that incorporate final-state effects of bottomonia in pPb collisions are in better agreement with the data than those which only assume initial-state modifications.
