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 ...
Information theoretic performance of cooperative underwater acoustic communications
(IEEE, 2011)
Cooperative communication is considered as a major enabling technique to meet the demanding performance requirements of future underwater acoustic (UWA) communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the information ...
A preconditioned multigrid for simulation of atmospheric flow and wind turbine wakes
(Elsevier, 2015-11-20)
This paper demonstrates a low Mach number preconditioning formulation for high Reynolds number, low Mach number atmospheric flows. The preconditioning is implemented together with multigrid approach into a multistage solver ...
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 ...
Channel modeling and performance characterization of underwater visible light communications
(IEEE, 2018-07-03)
Underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has emerged as an attractive complementary solution to long-range acoustic communication and is able to achieve much higher data speeds. In this paper, we investigate the ...
Novel distributed space-time trellis codes for relay systems over cascaded rayleigh fading
(IEEE, 2010-12)
In this letter, we consider the deployment of distributed space-time trellis codes (STTCs) for user cooperation. We derive a pairwise error probability (PEP) expression for distributed STTCs over cascaded Rayleigh fading ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
