Modeling influenza pandemic and planning food distribution
(Informs, 2014)
Based on the recent incidents of H5N1, H1N1, and influenza pandemics in history (1918, 1957, and 1968) experts believe that a future influenza pandemic is inevitable and likely imminent. Although the severity of influenza ...
Supplier selection for framework agreements in humanitarian relief
(Wiley, 2014-06)
In this study, we consider the supplier selection problem of a relief organization that wants to establish framework agreements (FAs) with a number of suppliers to ensure quick and cost-effective procurement of relief ...
A Cahn-Hilliard modeling of metal oxide thin films for advanced CMP applications
(ECS, 2014)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process enables topographic selectivity through formation of a protective oxide thin film on the recessed locations of the deposited metal layer, while a continuous chemical oxidation ...
Generalized performance analysis of mixed RF/FSO systems
(IEEE, 2014)
We investigate the performance of dual-hop fixed-gain amplify-and-forward relaying systems over Nakagami-m and double generalized Gamma fading channels with pointing error for mixed radio frequency/free space optical ...
Coupling of near-field thermal radiative heating and phonon Monte Carlo simulation: Assessment of temperature gradient in n-doped silicon thin film
(Elsevier, 2014-08)
Near-field thermal radiative exchange between two objects is typically more effective than the far-field thermal radiative exchange as the heat flux can increase up to several orders higher in magnitudes due to tunneling ...
Development of figure of merits for energy efficient LED lighting systems
(IEEE, 2014)
Energy has been identified as one of the most important problems during the last few years. While energy generation and new energy resources are critical, energy efficiency in production, transportation and utilization are ...
Effect of direct liquid cooling on the light emitting diode local hot spots? A computational and experimental study
(Begell House Inc, 2014)
The increased popularity of solid state systems with the technological developments have led them to be a favorable choice for many lighting applications besides electronics. However, the development of denser high lumen ...
Developing a standard measurement and calculation procedure for high brightness LED junction temperature
(2014)
White light emitting diodes (LEDs) are appearing in general illumination applications. Clusters of such LEDs can replace an incandescent light bulb of equal luminosity on the merit of considerably low power consumption. ...
Analysis of near-field radiation transfer within nano-gaps using FDTD method
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Enhancement of near-field radiative emission via coupling of surface plasmons in nano-gaps formed between thin films is important for understanding and implementation of energy harvesting using nano-thermophotovoltaic ...
An investigation into momentum and temperature fields of a meso-scale slot synthetic jet for a small jet-to-surface spacing
(Begell House Inc., 2014)
Impinging synthetic jets have been identified as a promising technology for cooling miniature structures. Recognizing their thermal performance on the target surface requires a fundamental understanding of the momentum ...
