A minorization-maximization algorithm for an-based mimome secrecy rate maximization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We consider the problem of secrecy rate maximization in a multi-input multi-output multi-eavesdropper (MIMOME) wiretap channel and present an exact solution. A general system model with a multi-antenna eavesdropper and a ...
Thermodynamic exergy analysis of dysprosium oxide-based solar thermochemical water-splitting cycle
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of water splitting temperature on the parameters required for the design of solar thermal reactor to conduct the dysprosium oxide based water splitting (Dy-WS) cycle was investigated by using the HSC Chemistry ...
Nutritional Requirements to Improve Delta-Endotoxins Production of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki Using Mixed Designs Modelling
(
Springer India
, 2017 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensiskurstaki is a soil bacterium that produces insecticidal toxins called delta-endotoxins. In order to increase the toxic crystal concentrations in a low-cost culture medium and thus improve the biopesticide ...

In an attempt to validate the importance of universal communication ethics for democracy anywhere, especially in the Middle East, this essay focuses on answering the question: Are there universalisable Islamic ethics that ...
Mechanistic insights into the remediation of bromide ions from desalinated water using roasted date pits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Bromide ions (Br−) are associated with toxic by-products that might be produced during the disinfection of drinking water. The removal of Br− from water using roasted date pits (RODPs) and activated carbon was investigated. ...

Experimental study on effective placement of PCM packets in cooling vest to improve performance in warm environment
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Global warming has increased the risk of heat stress of outdoor workers and one measure against heat stress is wearing passive personal cooling clothing. Passive body cooling systems, including phase change material (PCM) ...
Rural development program in tribal region: A protocol for adaptation and addressing climate change vulnerability
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Tribal peoples globally are among the most vulnerable groups to climate change and variability. This is due to a combination of their relative poverty and their dependence on agriculture and natural support systems (NSS). ...
TDDFT studies on effects of the size on optoelectronic properties of 2D germanene sheets
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We report on the TDDFT calculations of the effect of the size on the optoelectronic properties of germanene sheets. Five structures of germanene were considered. All structures were optimized and their electronic and optical ...
Two Efficient Techniques to Find Approximate Overlaps between Sequences
(2017 , Article)
The next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology outputs a huge number of sequences (reads) that require further processing. After applying prefiltering techniques in order to eliminate redundancy and to correct erroneous ...
