A novel statistical model for turbulence-induced fading in free-space optical systems
(IEEE, 2013)
In this paper, we propose a new probability distribution function which accurately describes turbulence-induced fading under a wide range of turbulence conditions. The proposed model, termed Double GG distribution, is based ...
PHY layer performance evaluation of the IEEE 802.15.7 visible light communication standard
(IEEE, 2013)
The IEEE 802.15.7 standard defines a PHY layer and medium access control (MAC) layer for visible light communication and promises data rates sufficient to support audio and video multimedia services. In this paper, we first ...
Search for supersymmetry in events with opposite-sign dileptons and missing transverse energy using an artificial neural network
(American Physical Society, 2013-04-01)
In this paper, a search for supersymmetry (SUSY) is presented in events with two opposite-sign isolated leptons in the final state, accompanied by hadronic jets and missing transverse energy. An artificial neural network ...
Search for Z ' resonances decaying to t(t)over-bar in dilepton plus jets final states in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
(American Physical Society, 2013-04-01)
A search for resonances decaying to top quark-antiquark pairs is performed using a dilepton + jets data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated ...
Eradicating employment discrimination: toward a cultural values perspective
(Wiley, 2013-12)
The article offers the author's insights on the paper by A. Lindsey and colleagues regarding the reduction of discrimination in employment. The author argues that the paper failed to provide a model by which diversity can ...
Nearest neighbor approach in speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis
(IEEE, 2013)
Statistical speech synthesis (SSS) approach has become one of the most popular and successful methods in the speech synthesis field. Smooth speech transitions, without the spurious errors that are observed in unit selection ...
A robotics summer camp for high school students: pipelines activities promoting careers in engineering fields
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2013-06)
In this paper we discuss the lived-experiences and the career interests of 27 high school students who participated in a two-week Robotics summer camp in 2012. The summer camp was designed by a team of engineering faculty, ...
MEMS based blood plasma viscosity sensor without electrical connections
(IEEE, 2013)
A MEMS based viscometer is reported. The device has a disposable cartridge and a reader. The cartridge contains microfluidic channels and a MEMS cantilever sensor. The reader contains the actuator and the readout optics ...
The senior discount: biases against older career changers
(Wiley, 2013-02)
This study examined age discrimination in between- vs. within-career job transitions. We expected that older workers transitioning into a new field would experience greater age discrimination than those who change jobs ...
Assessing the validity and reliability of a questionnaire on dietary fibre-related knowledge in a Turkish student population
(ICDDR, 2013-12)
This study aimed to validate a questionnaire on dietary fibre (DF)-related knowledge in a Turkish student population. Participants (n=360) were either undergraduate students who have taken a nutrition course for 14 weeks ...
