Disaster preparedness using risk-assessment methods from earthquake engineering
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Analyzing the uncertainties associated with disaster occurrences is critical to make effective disaster preparedness plans. In this study, we focus on pre-positioning emergency supplies for earthquake preparedness. We ... -
Discovering frequent patterns to bootstrap trust
(Springer International Publishing, 2013)When a new agent enters to an open multiagent system, bootstrapping its trust becomes a challenge because of the lack of any direct or reputational evidence. To get around this problem, existing approaches assume the same ... -
Discovering predictive relational object symbols with symbolic attentive layers
(IEEE, 2024-02-01)In this letter, we propose and realize a new deep learning architecture for discovering symbolic representations for objects and their relations based on the self-supervised continuous interaction of a manipulator robot ... -
Discrepancy search for the flexible job shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12)The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop problem in which each operation must be processed on a given machine chosen among a finite subset of candidate machines. The aim ... -
Discrete dipole approximation of gold nanospheres on substrates: considerations and comparison with other discretization methods
(AAPP Physical, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences, 2011)We embark on this preliminary study of the suitability of the discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction (DDA-SI) method to model electric field scattering from noble metal nano-structures on dielectric substrates. ... -
Discrete phase analysis of self heating particles over an immersion liquid cooled high power blue light-emitting diode with suspended phosphor particles
(ASME, 2022-10)In recent years, the interaction of unrestricted particles with dispersed multiphase flows has been linked to a number of important engineering applications. Among these applications, the novel idea of immersion-cooled ... -
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 ... -
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). ... -
Discrete-time average-cost mean-field games on Polish spaces
(TÜBİTAK, 2020)In stochastic dynamic games, when the number of players is sufficiently large and the interactions between agents depend on empirical state distribution, one way to approximate the original game is to introduce infinite-population ... -
Discrete-time integral sliding mode control of a smart joint for minimally invasive surgeries
(IEEE, 2016)In this work, a shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator based joint (smart joint) is controlled using a discrete-time integral sliding mode (DISM) control to guide the motion of an active catheter. Controller is designed on the ... -
Disentangling human trafficking types and the identification of pathways to forced labor and sex: an explainable analytics approach
(Springer, 2023-07)Terms such as human trafficking and modern-day slavery are ephemeral but reflect manifestations of oppression, servitude, and captivity that perpetually have threatened the basic right of all humans. Operations research ... -
Dispersive transverse waves for a strain-limiting continuum model
(Sage, 2023-10)It is well known that propagation of waves in homogeneous linearized elastic materials of infinite extent is not dispersive. Motivated by the work of Rubin, Rosenau, and Gottlieb, we develop a generalized continuum model ... -
Disposable cartridge biosensor platform for portable diagnostics
(SPIE , 2017)We developed two types of cantilever-based biosensors for portable diagnostics applications. One sensor is based on MEMS cantilever chip mounted in a microfluidic channel and the other sensor is based on a movable optical ... -
Dissociation of pseudotensor mesons π2(1670), η2(1645) and η2(1870) through critical temperature
(Springer, 2022-09-27)We have computed the masses and decay constants of isotriplet π2(1670), the isoscalar η2(1645) and η2(1870) states as the ground-state nonet of 1 1D2 case within the Thermal QCD sum rules framework. This method is applied ... -
Distance and power based experimental verification of channel model in visible light communication
(IEEE, 2019)In this work, a channel model for line-of-sight (LOS) in visible light communication is elaborated. In the proposed channel model, there is no optical component, such as filter or lens, between the transmitting LED and the ... -
A distributed approach for bitrate selection in HTTP adaptive streaming
(ACM, 2018)Past research has shown that concurrent HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) players behave selfishly and the resulting competition for shared resources leads to underutilization or oversubscription of the network, presentation ... -
Distributed decision trees
(Springer, 2022)In a budding tree, every node is part internal node and part leaf. This allows representing the tree in a continuous parameter space and training it with backpropagation, like a neural network. Unlike a traditional tree ... -
Distributed MIMO for Li-Fi: Channel measurements, ray tracing and throughput analysis
(IEEE, 2021-08-15)LiFi has been considered as a promising candidate for future wireless indoor networks. The IEEE P802.15.13 and P802.11bb standardization groups agreed upon channel models generated using the non-sequential ray tracing ... -
Distributions of topological observables in inclusive three- and four-jet events in pp collisions at s√=7s=7TeV
(Springer, 2015-07)This paper presents distributions of topological observables in inclusive three- and four-jet events produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeVTeV with a data sample collected by the CMS experiment ... -
Diversity gain analysis of underwater vertical MIMO VLC links in the presence of turbulence
(IEEE, 2019)To satisfy the demands of high data rate underwater applications such as image and real-time video transmission, underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has emerged as an alternative to acoustic signaling. One of the ...
