Localized radiative energy transfer from a plasmonic bow-tie nano-antenna to a magnetic thin film stack
(Springer Business+Media, 2011-06)Localized radiative energy transfer from a near-field emitter to a magnetic thin film structure is investigated. A magnetic thin film stack is placed in the near-field of the plasmonic nano-antenna to utilize the evanescent ... -
Thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
(IEEE, 2011-06)The thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators are investigated using a coupled near-field thermal radiation, charge, and heat transport formulation. A nano-TPV device ... -
On the performance analysis of multirelay cooperative diversity systems with channel estimation errors
(IEEE, 2011-06)In this paper, we investigate the performance of an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative diversity system with multiple relays in the presence of channel estimation errors. We consider both conventional relaying (in which ... -
Exact approaches for integrated aircraft fleeting and routing at TunisAir
(Science+Business Media, 2011-06)We describe models and exact solutions approaches for an integrated aircraft fleeting and routing problem arising at TunisAir. Given a schedule of flights to be flown, the problem consists of determining a minimum cost ... -
Exact methods for the robotic cell problem
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2011-06)This paper investigates an exact method for the Robotic Cell Problem. We present a branch-and-bound algorithm which is the first exact procedure specifically designed with regard to this complex flow shop scheduling variant. ... -
Isovector axial-vector form factors of octet baryons in QCD
(American Physical Society, 2011-06-01)We compute the diagonal isovector axial-vector as well as induced pseudoscalar form factors of nucleon, Σ, and ≡ baryons by employing the light-cone QCD sum rules to leading order in QCD and including distribution amplitudes ... -
E-Cube: multi-dimensional event sequence analysis using hierarchical pattern query sharing
(ACM, 2011-06-12)Many modern applications, including online financial feeds, tag-based mass transit systems and RFID-based supply chain management systems transmit real-time data streams. There is a need for event stream processing technology ... -
Discrete-dipole approximation with surface interaction: computational toolbox for MATLAB
(Elsevier, 2011-07)We describe a MATLAB toolbox that utilizes the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method for modelling light interaction with arbitrarily-shape scatterers in free space as well with planar surface interaction (DDA-SI). ... -
Bounding strategies for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2011-07-01)In this paper, we investigate new lower and upper bounds for the multiple-center hybrid flow shop scheduling problem. We propose a family of center-based lower bounds as well as a destructive lower bound that is based on ... -
Formulations and branch-and-cut algorithms for the generalized vehicle routing problem
(Informs, 2011-08)The generalized vehicle routing problem (GVRP) consists of finding a set of routes for a number of capacitated vehicles on a graph where the vertices are partitioned into clusters with given demands, such that the total ... -
Two classes of quadratic assignment problems that are solvable as linear assignment problems
(Elsevier, 2011-08)The Quadratic Assignment Problem is one of the hardest combinatorial optimization problems known. We present two new classes of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Problem that can be reduced to the Linear Assignment ... -
Defect-aware nanocrossbar logic mapping through matrix canonization using two-dimensional radix sort
(ACM, 2011-08)Nanocrossbars (i.e., nanowire crossbars) offer extreme logic densities but come with very high defect rates; stuck-open/closed, broken nanowires. Achieving reasonable yield and utilization requires logic mapping that is ... -
A novel pulse-positioned coding scheme for fiber fault monitoring of a PON
(IEEE, 2011-09)In this letter, we propose a novel optical coding scheme for fiber link quality monitoring of a passive optical network (PON). The proposed scheme named incrementally pulse positioned coding (IPPC) is practically very ... -

Preface
(Springer International Publishing, 2011-09)Developments in the field of wireless communications continue at an unabated pace. During the previous decade starting in the early 1990s, we have seen the introduction and mass market adoption of many different types of ... -
Tensor form factors of nucleon in QCD
(Elsevier, 2011-10-25)We extract the isovector tensor nucleon form factors, which play an important role in understanding the transverse spin structure of the nucleon when related to the quark helicity-flip generalized parton distributions via ... -
Study of W boson production in PbPb and pp collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV
(Elsevier, 2012)A measurement is presented of W-boson production in PbPb collisions carried out at a nucleon-nucleon (NN) centre-of-mass energy root S-NN of 2.76 TeV at the LHC using the CMS detector. In data corresponding to an integrated ... -
Relay selection for cooperative underwater acoustic communication systems
(IEEE, 2012)In this paper, we consider a multi-carrier and multi-relay underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) system and investigate the relay selection problem. Our channel model is built on an aggregation of both large-scale path ... -
Outage capacity regions of multicarrier DF relaying in underwater acoustic channels
(IEEE, 2012)In this paper, we investigate the information theoretical limits on the performance of cooperative multicarrier underwater acoustic (UWA) communication systems. We assume decode-and-forward (DF) relaying and consider ... -
Pricing for open access femtocell networks using market equilibrium and non-cooperative game
(IEEE, 2012)In this paper, we address the pricing problem in open-access femtocell networks. We use economic and game theoretic approaches such as market equilibrium and non-cooperative game to propose novel pricing schemes. In our ...
