Cooperative inter-vehicular communications in highway traffic
(2011)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of a single relay assisted cooperative vehicular network in a highway traffic scenario. Source and relaying vehicles are assumed to be traveling in the same direction with ...
Thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
(IEEE, 2011-06)
The thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators are investigated using a coupled near-field thermal radiation, charge, and heat transport formulation. A nano-TPV device ...
The semileptonic B to K1(1270, 1400) decays in QCD sum rules
(IOP Publishing, 2011)
We analyze the semileptonic rare decays of the B meson to K1(1270) and K1(1400) axial vector mesons. The B → K1(1270, 1400)_+_− decays are significant flavor-changing neutral current decays of the B meson. These decays are ...
Effect of commercial purity levels on the mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained titanium
(Elsevier, 2011-03-15)
Two grades of commercial purity (CP) titanium (grades 2 and 4) were processed using equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at 300 ◦C and 450 ◦C, respectively. The processing temperatures were the minimum temperatures at ...
Runtime verification of component-based embedded software
(Springer, 2011)
To deal with increasing size and complexity, component-based software development has been employed in embedded systems. Due to several faults, components can make wrong assumptions about the working mode of the system and ...
Relay selection in dual-hop vehicular networks
(IEEE, 2011-02)
In this letter, we investigate cooperative diversity with relay selection over cascaded Rayleigh fading channels. In particular, we analyze the performance of a relay selection scheme for cooperative vehicular networks ...
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 ...
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). ...
