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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
