Theoretical investigation of the oxygen bond dissociation energies in graphene oxide
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The theoretical vibrational spectrum, oxygen bond dissociation energies (BDE), atomic charges and hydrogen bonding has been investigated using wB97XD/6-31g(d) method of calculation. The order of BDE for C-O comes in the ...
Sustainability Performance Simulation of the U.S. Urban Mobility Policies
(2018 , Conference Paper)
Heavy dependence on personal vehicle usage in the U.S. has made the transportation sector one of the greatest contributors to air pollutant emissions the associated human health concerns. The transportation mode choices ...
Synthesis and characterization of Cu/ZnO catalyst on carbon nanotubes and Al2O3 supports
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals is an attractive option to deal with the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. In this study, Cu/ZnO catalyst was synthesized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ...
On secure communication over the Z-Channel
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The discrete memoryless Z-Channel (DM-ZC) with a confidential cross-message is considered. Three messages are transmitted; encoder 1 transmits one message to be decoded by decoder 1. Encoder 2 transmits two messages, the ...
