DMT analysis of multi-hop coherent FSO communication over atmospheric channels
(IEEE, 2011)
In this paper, we investigate the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) of a multi-hop coherent free-space optical (FSO) system over atmospheric channels. We consider a relay-assisted FSO system with decode-and-forward ...
EM-based joint time delay and channel estimation for cooperative communications
(IEEE, 2011)
In this paper, we study joint time delay and channel estimation for a cooperative communication system with amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying. The proposed joint estimator is based on Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm ...
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). ...
T-matrix method for modelling optical tweezers
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
We review the use of the T-matrix description of scattering, or the T-matrix method, for the calculation of optical forces and torques, especially for the computational modelling of optical tweezers. We consider both simple ...
Pool boiling critical heat flux in dielectric liquids and nanofluids
(Elsevier, 2011)
With the recent advances in consumer and power electronics, efficient thermal management of high heat flux components has taken on new urgency. While its inherent advantages have made air cooling the method of choice for ...
Radiative transfer configuration factor catalog: a listing of relations for common geometries
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
An on-line compilation of radiation configuration factors for over 300 common geometries is provided as a supplementary material from the JQSRT web site at doi:10.1016/j.jqsrt.2010.10.002. The factors are gathered from ...
Effect of slurry aging on stability and performance of chemical mechanical planarization process
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is known to be one of the most challenging processes in microelectronics manufacturing due to the number of variables involved in the design of the process. In particular, the slurries ...
Estimating quantitative features of nanoparticles using multiple derivatives of scattering profiles
(Elsevier, 2011-05)
Characterization of nanoparticles on surfaces is a challenging in verse problem whose solution has many practical applications. This article proposes a method, suitable for in situ characterization systems, for estimating ...
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 ...
