Use of biomineralization in self-healing cement-based materials
(2017)
Factors affecting the durability of concrete structures are generally associated with each other. Due to its brittle nature, concrete can crack when stress is applied. Recent research in the field proposes that it might ...
On the correlation of psychoacoustic metrics with mushra-based subjective sound quality perception for televisions
(2019-08-09)
Even though the loudspeaker technologies used in televisions (TVs) and objective sound quality assessment techniques had continuously advanced over the years, the literature on automatic sound quality assessment in the TV ...
Adaptive domain-specific service monitoring
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)
We propose an adaptive and domain-specific service monitoring approach to detect partner service errors in a cost-effective manner. Hereby, we not only consider generic errors such as file not found or connection timed ...
Multipath-doppler diversity for broadband cooperative vehicular communications
(IEEE, 2011)
Initial works on cooperative vehicular communications build upon the assumption of frequency-flat and quasi-static fading channels. This can be justified only for narrowband systems in very slow traffic flows such as in ...
A stochastic optimization model for designing last Mile relief networks
(Informs, 2016-08)
In this study, we introduce a distribution network design problem that determines the locations and capacities of the relief distribution points in the last mile network, while considering demand- and network-related ...
Information theoretical performance limits of single-carrier underwater acoustic systems
(IEEE, 2014)
In this study, the authors investigate the information theoretical limits on the performance of point-to-point single-carrier acoustic systems over frequency-selective underwater channels with intersymbol interference. ...
Novel adaptive transmission algorithms for free-space optical links
(IEEE, 2012-12)
Atmospheric turbulence is a major degrading factor in free-space optical (FSO) systems. Since turbulence-induced fading results in a very slowly-varying channel, reliable feedback is possible allowing the implementation ...
Moment generating function-based performance evaluation of amplify-andforward relaying in N∗Nakagami fading channels
(IEEE, 2011-02-11)
In this study, the authors investigate the error rate performance of amplify-and-forward relaying over N∗Nakagami fading channels. This is a recently introduced channel model that involves the product of N Nakagami-m-distributed ...
The conceptual difference really matters: Hofstede vs GLOBE’s uncertainty avoidance and the risk-taking behavior of firms
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2019-12-05)
Purpose In spite of the common label, uncertainty avoidance (UA) across Hofstede and GLOBE models has been found to be negatively correlated and capture distinct concepts. Nevertheless, the empirical research focusing on ...
Conceptual design of a fully passive transfemoral prosthesis to facilitate energy-efficient gait
(IEEE, 2018-12)
In this paper, we present the working principle and conceptual design toward the realization of a fully-passive transfemoral prosthesis that mimics the energetics of the natural human gait. The fundamental property of the ...
