Nano-boron as an antibacterial agent for functionalized textiles
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-01)The antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although there are limited studies available on the pure boron nanoparticles. In this study boron nano-particles were characterized in terms of their ... -
Nanoscale optical communications modulator and acousto-optic transduction with vibrating graphene and resonance energy transfer
(IEEE, 2017)Graphene resonators are future promising in terms of ultra-low weight, high Young's modulus, strength and wideband resonance frequencies. Besides that, nanoscale optical wireless channels including visible light spectrum ... -
Natural convection immersion cooling with enhanced optical performance of light-emitting diode systems
(2015-10-15)Electronics driven at high currents may experience local hot spots, which may cause thermal degradation or even catastrophic failures. This common problem occurs at light-emitting diode (LED) chips and it is not easily ... -
Natural language features for detection of Alzheimer's disease in conversational speech
(IEEE, 2014)Automatic monitoring of the patients with Alzheimer's disease and diagnosis of the disease in early stages can have a significant impact on the society. Here, we investigate an automatic diagnosis approach through the use ... -
A near Pareto optimal approach to student–supervisor allocation with two sided preferences and workload balance
(Elsevier, 2019-03)The problem of allocating students to supervisors for the development of a personal project or a dissertation is a crucial activity in the higher education environment, as it enables students to get feedback on their work ... -
Near to far-field thermal emission by nanoparticles on a substrate: Evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2014)We study the near to far-field thermal emission of a thin SiC film with/without nanospheres placed upon it. We show that Effective Medium Theorem produces questionable results when approximating emission and absorption ... -
Near- to far-field coherent thermal emission by surfaces coated by nanoparticles and the evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2015)Near-field thermal radiation may play significant role in the enhancement of energy harvesting and radiative cooling by new types of designer materials, which in turn can be crucial in the development of future devices. ... -
Near-field radiative transfer in spectrally tunable double-layer phonon-polaritonic metamaterials
(Elsevier, 2018-06)Understanding of near-field radiative transfer is crucial for many advanced applications such as nanoscale energy harvesting, nano-manufacturing, thermal imaging, and radiative cooling. Near-field radiative transfer has ... -
Near-field thermal emission between corrugated surfaces separated by nano-gaps
(Elsevier, 2015)Near-field thermal radiation with its many potential applications in different fields requires a thorough understanding for the development of new devices. In this paper, we report that near-field thermal emission between ... -
Near-field thermal radiation transfer by mesoporous metamaterials
(The Optical Society, 2015-09-21)In this work, we investigate the impact of nano-scale pores within structured metamaterials on spectral near-field radiative transfer. We use Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) and consider uniform and corrugated ... -
Near-optimal modified base stock policies for the capacitated inventory problem with stochastic demand and fixed cost
(World Scientific Publishing, 2014-06)In this study, we investigate a single-item, periodic-review inventory problem where the production capacity is limited and unmet demand is backordered. We assume that customer demand in each period is a stationary, discrete ... -
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 ... -
Needle localization using gabor filtering in 2D ultrasound images
(IEEE, 2014)In the percutaneous needle procedures using ultrasound (US) imaging, the needle should be detected precisely to avoid damage to the tissue and to get the samples from the appropriate site. Excessive artifacts and low ... -
NEEL: The nested complex event language for real-time event analytics
(Springer International Publishing, 2011)Complex event processing (CEP) over event streams has become increasingly important for real-time applications ranging from health care, supply chain management to business intelligence. These monitoring applications submit ... -
Negotiation for incentive driven privacy-preserving information sharing
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)This paper describes an agent-based, incentive-driven, and privacy-preserving information sharing framework. Main contribution of the paper is to give the data provider agent an active role in the information sharing process ... -
Network topology modulation for energy and data transmission in internet of magneto-inductive things
(IEEE, 2016)Internet-of-things (IoT) architectures connecting a massive number of heterogeneous devices need energy efficient, low hardware complexity, low cost, simple and secure mechanisms to realize communication among devices. One ... -
Network-coded cooperative systems with generalized user-relay selection
(IEEE, 2020-11)We consider a network-coded cooperative (NCC) system that consists of N >= 2 sources, M >= 1 decodeand-forward (DF) relays, and a single destination. The relays perform network coding (NC) on the received sources' symbols ... -
A new boson with a mass of 125 GeV observed with the CMS experiment at the large hadron collider
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2012-12-21)The Higgs boson was postulated nearly five decades ago within the framework of the standard model of particle physics and has been the subject of numerous searches at accelerators around the world. Its discovery would ... -
A new control plane for 5G network architecture with a case study on unified handoff, mobility, and routing management
(IEEE, 2014-11)The tremendous growth in wireless Internet use is showing no signs of slowing down. Existing cellular networks are starting to be insufficient in meeting this demand, in part due to their inflexible and expensive equipment ... -
A new LED response model and its application to pre-equalization in VLC systems
(IEEE, 2021-09-01)With the growing interest in visible light communication (VLC), it is desired to transmit data at very high rates despite the LED's bandwidth becoming a bottleneck. The bandwidth of a white LED usually ranges between ...
