Mutual radiation impedance of circular CMUTs on a cylinder
(IEEE, 2016)
In ultrasound imaging, cross coupling of transducer elements through the medium has significant effect on the frequency response, thus affecting the quality of the ultrasound image. In Side-Looking Intravascular Ultrasound ...
Mitigating the impact of drug shortages for a healthcare facility: An inventory management approach
(Elsevier, 2016-05-16)
Despite the importance and value of the pharmaceutical market, a significant portion of procurement spending including pharmaceuticals are lost. Coupling poor and reactive management practices with the inevitable national ...
Photocatalytic and antibacterial functionality evaluation of nanoboron coated textiles
(2016-09-01)
Antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although studies available on pure boron nanoparticles are relatively limited. In the present study, we examine the feasibility of the application of ...
Derivation of generalized Camassa-Holm equations from Boussinesq-type equations
(Informa Group, 2016)
In this paper we derive generalized forms of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation from a Boussinesq-type equation using a two-parameter asymptotic expansion based on two small parameters characterizing nonlinear and dispersive ...
Model-based software product line testing by coupling feature Mmodels with hierarchical Markov chain usage models
(IEEE, 2016)
Model-based testing automates test case generation based on usage models of a system. In this paper, we introduce an approach for systematic reuse of these models for testing a large family of products. In our approach, ...
Sparse channel estimation and equalization for OFDM-based underwater cooperative systems with amplify-and-forward relaying
(IEEE, 2016-01-01)
This paper is concerned with a challenging problem of channel estimation and equalization for amplifyand- forward cooperative relay based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in sparse underwater ...
Surface characterization driven CMP optimization for gallium nitride
(ECS, 2016)
Gallium nitride is a hard and chemically inert material demoting high material removal rates in the chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) applications. This paper focuses on the optimization of the process conditions to ...
On the feasibility of synchronous, retransmission-based cognitive networks
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
This paper presents a new, joint Markov chain model for the primary and secondary traffic in a cognitive radio network to assess the feasibility of opportunistic spectrum access for different operational scenarios, validated ...
Analysis of asynchronous cognitive radio system with imperfect sensing and bursty primary user traffic
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2016-03)
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the spectrum utilization levels in a cognitive radio system. We assume that the traffic of the primary network is bursty and asynchronous with the secondary network, which ...
Analysis of perlite and pumice based building insulation materials
(Elsevier, 2016-06)
Insulation panels composed of perlite, pumice, and cement were fabricated. Perlite and pumice were used to achieve high thermal resistance, and low density. Experimentation was conducted for determining
R-values of ...
