Lane-exchange mechanisms for truckload carrier collaboration
(Informs, 2011-02)
Because of historically high fuel prices, the trucking industry's operating expenses are higher than ever and thus profit margins are lower than ever. To cut costs, the trucking industry is searching for and exploring new ...
Finding event correlations in federated wireless sensor networks
(IEEE, 2011)
Event correlation engines help us find events of interest inside raw sensor data streams and help reduce the data volume, simultaneously. This paper discusses some of the challenges faced in finding event correlations over ...
Transcendental ethics
(Springer, 2011)
Our ontological, epistemological and metaphysical point of view is a very important determinant of how we conceive ethics and the possibility of ethical discourse. Kant, G.E. Moore and Wittgenstein had a quite eloquent ...
Outage analysis of Hybrid-ARQ protocols in coherent free-space optical communications
(IEEE, 2011)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of automatic retransmission request (ARQ) protocols in coherent free-space optical (FSO) communications. Specifically, we study the outage performance of three different ...
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 ...
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 ...
Designing new electoral districts for the city of Edmonton
(Informs, 2011-12-11)
Every few years, the city of Edmonton, Canada must review and evaluate changes to its electoral district boundaries. The review process that was completed in 2009 resulted in modifying the district plan from a six-ward ...
