Prevalence of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer in Autopsy Studies Over Six Decades: A Meta-Analysis
(
American Society of Clinical Oncology
, 2016 , Article)
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) incidence has been reported to have increased three- to 15-fold in the past few decades. It is unclear whether this represents overdiagnosis or a true increase in incidence. Therefore, ...
On the Achievable Secrecy Diversity of Cooperative Networks with Untrusted Relays
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Cooperative relaying is often deployed to enhance the communication reliability (i.e., diversity order) and consequently the end-to-end achievable rate. However, this raises several security concerns when the relays are ...
Refining the ambiguity domain characteristics of non-stationary signals for improved time–frequency analysis: Test case of multidirectional and multicomponent piecewise LFM and HFM signals
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper aims at providing a more accurate description of the ambiguity domain characteristics of a piecewise multicomponent non-stationary signals with focus on piece-wise linear frequency modulated (LFM) (PW-LFM) signal ...
Oilfield scale formation and chemical removal: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
In oil and gas industry operations, scale deposition on the surface and subsurface production equipment can cause different problems such as formation damage, loss in production, pressure reductions, and premature failure ...
Computational modeling and forensic analysis for terrorist airplane bombing: A case study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The bombing of airliners has been a tactic used by terrorists during the past 40 years. Its prevention is a major priority by homeland security officials on a worldwide basis. In efforts to aid in the investigation of such ...
Thermo-mechanical vibration of rotating axially functionally graded nonlocal Timoshenko beam
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The free vibration analysis of rotating axially functionally graded nanobeams under an in-plane nonlinear thermal loading is provided for the first time in this paper. The formulations are based on Timoshenko beam theory ...
Superior photocatalytic activity of Cu doped NiWO4 for efficient degradation of benzene in air even under visible radiation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We effectively used Cu dopant to improve photocatalytic performance of NiWO4 to remove benzene in air. The obtained experimental result indicated that photocatalytic performance of the prepared Cu-NiWO4 materials were ...
Packet relaying control in sensing-based spectrum sharing systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Cognitive relaying has been introduced for opportunistic spectrum access systems by which a secondary node forwards primary packets whenever the primary link faces an outage condition. For spectrum sharing systems, cognitive ...
Fault-tolerant control of five-phase current source inverter for medium-voltage drives
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Multiphase Machines offer a promising solution to many practical challenges due to their advantages over the three phase counterparts, as fault-tolerant capability and lower torque ripple magnitude. Among different multiphase ...
Enabling ICT development with low cost high capacity wireless networks in remote and underdeveloped locations an application to public finance management in Comoros Islands
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The 'Union of the Comoros' is a volcanic archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean, consisting of three islands. About half the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day. The interiors of the ...
