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 ... -
Blood clotting time measurement using a miniaturized high-frequency ultrasound sensor
(IEEE, 2023)This paper demonstrates a novel blood coagulation time measurement methodology that requires as low as 1 microliter of whole blood. The blood sample is placed on the top surface of a fused quartz plate where an ultrasonic ... -
Blood coagulation time measurement using a 1μL of whole blood on a TE mode BAW resonator
(IEEE, 2018-12-20)This paper presents a possible way to blood coagulation time measurement using a TE (Thickness Extensions) mode BAW (Bulk Acoustic Wave) resonator which requires as low as 1 micro-liter of whole blood. The blood sample is ... -
Blood supply chain management and future research opportunities
(Springer, 2018)In this chapter, we discuss the challenges and research opportunities in the blood collection operations and explore the benefits of recent advances in the blood donation process. According to the regulations, donated blood ... -
BoB: Bandwidth prediction for real-time communications using heuristic and reinforcement learning
(IEEE, 2023)Bandwidth prediction is critical in any Real-time Communication (RTC) service or application. This component decides how much media data can be sent in real time. Subsequently, the video and audio encoder dynamically adapts ... -
Boiling heat transfer enhancement of magnetically actuated nanofluids
(AIP, 2013)Nanofluids offer a potential breakthrough as next-generation heat transfer fluids since they offer exciting new possibilities to enhance heat transfer performance compared to pure liquids. A major drawback for using ... -
Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV
(Springer Nature, 2020-03-03)Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at <mml:msqrt>s</mml:msqrt> = 13 ... -
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 ... -
A branch-and-cut algorithm for solving the non-preemptive capacitated swapping problem
(Elsevier, 2010-08-06)This paper models and solves a capacitated version of the Non-Preemptive Swapping Problem. This problem is defined on a complete digraph , at every vertex of which there may be one unit of supply of an item, one unit of ... -
A branch-and-cut algorithm for the Steiner tree problem with delays
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2012-12)In this paper, we investigate the Steiner tree problem with delays, which is a generalized version of the Steiner tree problem applied to multicast routing. For this challenging combinatorial optimization problem, we present ... -
Branch-and-price approach for robust parallel machine scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times
(Elsevier, 2022-09-16)This paper studies a machine scheduling problem that minimizes the worst-case total tardiness for unrelated parallel machines with sequence-dependent setup and uncertain processing times. We propose a robust optimization ... -
A branch-and-price-and-cut method for computing an optimal bramble
(Elsevier, 2015)Given an undirected graph, a bramble is a set of connected subgraphs (called bramble elements) such that every pair of subgraphs either contains a common node, or such that an edge ( i , j ) exists with node i belonging ... -
A branch‐and‐cut approach for the least cost influence problem on social networks
(Wiley, 2020-07)This paper studies a problem in the online targeted marketing setting called the least cost influence problem (LCIP) that is known to be NP-hard. The goal is to find the minimum total amount of inducements (individuals to ...
