A novel statistical model for turbulence-induced fading in free-space optical systems
(IEEE, 2013)
In this paper, we propose a new probability distribution function which accurately describes turbulence-induced fading under a wide range of turbulence conditions. The proposed model, termed Double GG distribution, is based ...
PHY layer performance evaluation of the IEEE 802.15.7 visible light communication standard
(IEEE, 2013)
The IEEE 802.15.7 standard defines a PHY layer and medium access control (MAC) layer for visible light communication and promises data rates sufficient to support audio and video multimedia services. In this paper, we first ...
Search for supersymmetry in events with opposite-sign dileptons and missing transverse energy using an artificial neural network
(American Physical Society, 2013-04-01)
In this paper, a search for supersymmetry (SUSY) is presented in events with two opposite-sign isolated leptons in the final state, accompanied by hadronic jets and missing transverse energy. An artificial neural network ...
Search for Z ' resonances decaying to t(t)over-bar in dilepton plus jets final states in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
(American Physical Society, 2013-04-01)
A search for resonances decaying to top quark-antiquark pairs is performed using a dilepton + jets data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated ...
Nearest neighbor approach in speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis
(IEEE, 2013)
Statistical speech synthesis (SSS) approach has become one of the most popular and successful methods in the speech synthesis field. Smooth speech transitions, without the spurious errors that are observed in unit selection ...
A robotics summer camp for high school students: pipelines activities promoting careers in engineering fields
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2013-06)
In this paper we discuss the lived-experiences and the career interests of 27 high school students who participated in a two-week Robotics summer camp in 2012. The summer camp was designed by a team of engineering faculty, ...
MEMS based blood plasma viscosity sensor without electrical connections
(IEEE, 2013)
A MEMS based viscometer is reported. The device has a disposable cartridge and a reader. The cartridge contains microfluidic channels and a MEMS cantilever sensor. The reader contains the actuator and the readout optics ...
Spectrum-based fault localization for diagnosing concurrency faults
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013)
Concurrency faults are activated by specific thread interleavings at runtime. Traditional fault localization techniques and static analysis fall short to diagnose these faults efficiently. Existing dynamic fault-localization ...
Design and implementation of a cloud computing service for finite element analysis
(Elsevier, 2013-06)
This paper presents an end-to-end discussion on the technical issues related to the design and implementation of a new cloud computing service for finite element analysis (FEA). The focus is specifically on performance ...
End-to-end performance of mixed RF/FSO transmission systems
(IEEE, 2013-11)
In this paper, we consider a heterogenous scenario where free-space optical (FSO) and radio-frequency (RF) technologies are deployed together as a dual-hop communication system, and we investigate the end-to-end outage ...
