A biomimicry design for nanoscale radiative cooling applications inspired by Morpho didius butterfly
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-11-15)In nature, novel colors and patterns have evolved in various species for survival, recognizability or mating purposes. Investigations of the morphology of various butterfly wings have shown that in addition to the pigmentation, ... -
Biomimicry designs for passive optical solutions for nanoscale radiative cooling applications
(SPIE, 2018)Inspired by the mechanism of the wings of Morpho butterfly, here we propose biomimicry designs which have the potential to be used for radiative cooling purposes. We numerically analyzed the spontaneous emission at near-field ... -
Biomineralization in self-healing cement-based materials: investigating the temporal evolution of microbial metabolic state and material porosity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The potential for self-healing of concrete via biomineralization processes in which microorganisms influence mineral precipitation is promising. To embed microorganisms within a cement-based material, key challenges are ... -
Biomineralized cement-based materials: impact of inoculating vegetative bacterial cells on hydration and strength
(Elsevier, 2015-01)Biomineralization in cement-based materials has become a point of interest in recent years due to the possibility that such an approach could be used to develop a self-healing cement-based system. The objective of this ... -
Bispectrum estimation using a MISO autoregressive model
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)Bispectra are third-order statistics that have been used extensively in analyzing nonlinear and non-Gaussian data. Bispectrum of a process can be computed as the Fourier transform of its bicumulant sequence. It is in general ... -
Bit error rate analysis of MISO FSO systems
(Informa Group Company, 2016-05-09)Multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems are employed in free space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, we consider a MISO FSO system with practical transmitter ... -
Bit-error-rate performance of an underwater wireless optical link under misalignment and turbulence effects
(IEEE, 2022)Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) links are highly susceptible to the degrading effects of oceanic turbulence and beam misalignment. In this paper, considering a silicon photo-multiplier at the receiver, we ... -
Black-box test case selection by relating code changes with previously fixed defects
(ACM, 2022-06)Software continuously changes to address new requirements and to fix defects. Regression testing is performed to ensure that the applied changes do not adversely affect existing functionality. The increasing number of test ... -
Blind identification of site effects and bedrock motion from surface response signals
(Elsevier, 2018-04)A method for blind identification of site effects from two nearby ground surface response signals is presented. The proposed approach makes use of ground surface accelerations from two nearby stations to back-calculate the ... -
Blockchain, aI and IoT empowered swarm drones for precision agriculture applications
(IEEE, 2022)Recently, the usage of blockchain on swarm UAV applications has gained popularity due to the simplicity and security of the designed frameworks. Applications of drones to precision architecture have also been a prominent ... -

Bottom-up approaches to achieve Pareto optimal agreements in group decision making
(Springer Nature, 2019-11)In this article, we introduce a new paradigm to achieve Pareto optimality in group decision-making processes: bottom-up approaches to Pareto optimality. It is based on the idea that, while resolving a conflict in a group, ... -
Bounding strategies for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2011-07-01)In this paper, we investigate new lower and upper bounds for the multiple-center hybrid flow shop scheduling problem. We propose a family of center-based lower bounds as well as a destructive lower bound that is based on ... -
