Performance Analysis of Amplify-and-Forward Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Networks with Cochannel Interference
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward hybrid satellite-terrestrial co-operative network in the presence of cochannel interference (CCI). More specifically, we assume that both the satellite-destination and the ...
CO2 sorption kinetics of scaled-up polyethylenimine-functionalized mesoporous silica sorbent
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethylenimine, PEI (Mn ∼ 423 and 10K), impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam prepared in kilogram quantities via a scale-up process were synthesized and systematically characterized ...
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Flywheels are one of the oldest and most popular energy storage media owing to the simplicity of storing kinetic energy in a rotating mass. Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) can be used in different applications, for ...
Quantifying morphology of sands using 3D imaging
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2015 , Article)
Particle morphology plays a significant role in influencing engineering behavior of granular materials. Surface texture, roundness, and sphericity represent distinct multiscale measures needed to fully describe particle ...
A five-phase linear induction machine with planar modular winding
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Linear induction motors (LIMs) have become a competitive alternative in electric traction. Three-phase LIM commonly uses double layer overlapping distributed windings. Although this winding configuration results in more ...
General strategy to synthesize uniform mesoporous TiO2/Graphene/Mesoporous TiO2 sandwich-like nanosheets for highly reversible lithium storage
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Uniform oxide deposition on graphene to form a sandwich-like configuration is a well-known challenge mainly due to their large lattice mismatches and poor affinities. Herein, we report a general strategy to synthesize ...
ICDAR2015 competition on Multi-script Writer Identification and Gender Classification using 'QUWI' Database
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This competition targets writer identification and gender classification from offline handwritten documents using the QUWI database. The most interesting aspect of the competition is the use of a dataset with writing samples ...
Survivable cloud network mapping for disaster recovery support
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2015 , Article)
Network virtualization is a key provision for improving the scalability and reliability of cloud computing services. In recent years, various mapping schemes have been developed to reserve VN resources over substrate ...
Optimal power consumption based on new power spectral efficiency metric for wireless cellular networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we introduce a new power spectral efficiency (PSE) metric, to quantify the spectral efficiency and the total required power to cover a certain area with a predefined received signal quality. This metric ...
Silk as a reinforcement in polymer matrix composites
(2015 , Book chapter)
Natural fibers perform well as reinforcement materials in polymer matrix composites and provide ecological and environmental advantages. Both plant- and animal-based natural fibers have been studied for their mechanical ...
