Performance of Mixed RF/FSO with Variable Gain over Generalized Atmospheric Turbulence Channels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we consider a free-space optical (FSO) communication scheme with the help of a variable gain relay where the links from the source to the relay are radio-frequency (RF) links while the links between the relay ...
Joint Optimization of Area Spectral Efficiency and Delay over PPP Interfered Ad-Hoc Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
To evaluate the performance of the co-channel transmission based communication, we propose a new metric for area spectral efficiency (ASE) of interference limited ad-hoc network by assuming that the nodes are randomly ...
Long-term epileptic EEG classification via 2D mapping and textural features
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Interpretation of long-term Electroencephalography (EEG) records is a tiresome task for clinicians. This paper presents an efficient, low cost and novel approach for patient-specific classification of long-term epileptic ...
Visible light-driven metal-oxide photocatalytic CO2 conversion
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, nine photocatalysts were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, surface area measurements based ...
Partial shoeprint retrieval using multiple point-of-interest detectors and SIFT descriptors
(
IOS Press
, 2015 , Article)
Shoeprint evidence collected from crime scenes can play an important role in forensic investigations. Usually, the analysis of shoeprints is carried out manually and is based on human expertise and knowledge. As well as ...
FPGA Implementation of Orthogonal Matching Pursuit for Compressive Sensing Reconstruction
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we present a novel architecture based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for the reconstruction of compressively sensed signal using the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. We have analyzed ...
Combining Fisher locality preserving projections and passband DCT for efficient palmprint recognition
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper a new graph based approach referred to as Fisher Locality Preserving Projections (FLPP) is proposed for efficient palmprint recognition. The technique employs two graphs with the first being used to characterize ...
Environmentally powered multiparametric wireless sensor node for air quality diagnostic
(
M Y U Scientific Publishing Division
, 2015 , Article)
Sensor networks dedicated to environmental monitoring have helped in the analysis of primal processes and have also provided vital hazard early warnings. At the same time, environmental energy is now becoming a popular ...
Growth of Single-Layered Two-Dimensional Mesoporous Polymer/Carbon Films by Self-Assembly of Monomicelles at the Interfaces of Various Substrates
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Single-layered two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin mesoporous polymer/carbon films are grown by self-assembly of monomicelles at the interfaces of various substrates, which is a general and common modification strategy. These ...
Influence of anionic surface modifiers on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of layered double hydroxide/polypropylene nanocomposites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Organo-layered double hydroxide/polypropylene (LDH/PP) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via a solution blending method. As an attempt to improve the compatibility with hydrophobic PP, the LDH surface was modified ...
