Nanocomposite photoactuators based on an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer filled with carbon nanotubes
(2013 , Article)
This paper reports strong, reversible actuation of nanocomposites on the base of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) filled with multiwalled (MWCNTs) and singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion ...
Elastomeric photo-actuators and their investigation by confocal laser scanning microscopy
(2013 , Article)
The photo-actuation behavior of nanocomposites based on ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer (EVA) and styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer filled with well-dispersed and modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) ...
A time–frequency based approach for generalized phase synchrony assessment in nonstationary multivariate signals
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper proposes a new approach to estimate the phase synchrony among nonstationary multivariate signals using the linear relationships between their instantaneous frequency (IF) laws. For cases where nonstationary ...

, 2013 , Article)
يركز هذا التحليل على التطورات التي صاحبت صحوة العرب الثالثة، لاسيما المرتبط منها بالأقليات الدينية التي تصنف على أنها أقلية، مقارنة بالمحيط البشري الذي تعيش وتتفاعل فيه، والتركيز في هذه الورقة يكون مسلطا على الشيعة في ...
In situ XAS and FTIR studies of a multi-component Ni/Fe/Cu catalyst for hydrogen production from ethanol
(2013 , Article)
Multicomponent catalysts containing Ni, Fe, Cu active for ethanol reforming reactions, prepared by solution combustion synthesis are characterized by multiple techniques such as ex situ XRD, XPS, and in situ XAFS and FTIR. ...
Na2FeP2O7 as a Promising Iron-Based Pyrophosphate Cathode for Sodium Rechargeable Batteries: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2013 , Article)
Considering the promising electrochemical performance of the recently reported pyrophosphate family in lithium ion batteries as well as the increasing importance of sodium ion batteries (SIBs) for emerging large-scale ...
Anomalous manganese activation of a pyrophosphate cathode in sodium ion batteries: A combined experimental and theoretical study
(2013 , Article)
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have many advantages such as the low price and abundance of sodium raw materials that are suitable for large-scale energy storage applications. Herein, we report an Mn-based pyrophosphate, ...
Battery status-aware authentication scheme for V2G networks in smart grid
(2013 , Article)
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is emerging as an attractive paradigm in smart grid, and provides power and information services by periodically collecting power status of battery vehicles (BVs). During a BV's interaction with power ...
Incentive scheduler algorithm for cooperation and coverage extension in wireless networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
In this paper, we focus on wireless coverage extension and nodes' cooperation. We propose a new protocol based on an incentive approach and a scheduling algorithm to reward cooperative nodes. The cost of cooperation can ...
Exploiting 4G mobile user cooperation for energy conservation: Challenges and opportunities
(2013 , Article)
Recent years have witnessed tremendous success and popularity of mobile applications and services, resulting in an explosive growth in the number of mobile devices, as well as in the range and types of things these devices ...
