Surface waves and atomic force microscope probe-particle near-field coupling: discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction
(Optics InfoBase, 2010-10)
Evanescent waves on a surface form due to the collective motion of charges within the medium. They do not carry any energy away from the surface and decay exponentially as a function of the distance. However, if there is ...
Spectral tuning of near-field radiative heat flux between two thin silicon carbide films
(Institute of Physics, 2010)
Spectral distributions of radiative heat flux between two thin silicon carbide films separated by sub-wavelength distances in vacuum are analysed. An analytical expression for the near-field flux between two layers of ...
E-Cube: multi-dimensional event sequence processing using concept and pattern hierarchies
(IEEE, 2010)
Many modern applications including tag based mass transit systems, RFID-based supply chain management systems and online financial feeds require special purpose event stream processing technology to analyze vast amounts ...
Discrete time/cost trade-off problem: a decomposition-based solutionalgorithm for the budget version
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
This paper investigates the budget variant of the discrete time/cost trade-off problem (DTCTP). This multi-mode project scheduling problem requires assigning modes to the activities of a project so that the total completion ...
Exact closed-form error probability expression for cooperative diversity networks with channel estimation errors in time selective Rayleigh fading channels
(IEEE, 2010)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of a cooperative network with adaptive decode-and-forward (DF) relaying over time-selective frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels. In adaptive DF relaying, only a subset of ...
DMT analysis of coherent free-space optical systems over atmospheric turbulence channels
(IEEE, 2010)
In this paper, we investigate the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) performance of a coherent free-space optical (FSO) communication system with multiple receive apertures over atmospheric turbulence channels. Our study ...
Design, operation, and motion characteristics of a precise piezoelectric linear motor
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
This paper presents the design, operation, and motion characteristics of a precise piezoelectric motor for linear translation. The motor is compact, thermally stable, ultra-high vacuum compatible, and suitable for applications ...
Consumer effort in promotional incentives
(Decision Sciences Institute, 2010-11)
Consumers need to exert effort to use the incentives provided in a promotion campaign. This effort is critical in the consumers’ decision process and for the success of the campaign. We develop a model of consumer redemption ...
Mind-set metrics in market response models: an integrative approach
(American Marketing Association, 2010-08)
Demonstrations of marketing effectiveness currently proceed along two parallel tracks: Quantitative researchers model the direct sales effects of the marketing mix, and advertising and branding experts trace customer ...
Algorithmic expedients for the prize collecting Steiner tree problem
(Elsevier, 2010)
This paper investigates the Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem (PCSTP) on a graph, which is a generalization of the well-known Steiner tree problem. Given a root node, edge costs, node prizes and penalties, as well as ...
