New forms of design education
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012)
Design has been in a period of change for the last decade but design education and more specifically design educators haven't kept up with these transformations. As a result design students continue to learn outdated methods ...
Signatures of phase transitions in nuclei at finite excitation energies
(Amer Inst Physics, 2012)
The mean-field approximation predicts pairing and shape phase transitions in nuclei as a function of temperature or excitation energy. However in the finite nucleus the singularities of these phase transitions are smoothed ...
Recent developments in the shell model Monte Carlo approach to nuclei
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2012)
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) approach provides a powerful method for the microscopic calculation of statistical and collective nuclear properties in model spaces that are many orders of magnitude larger than those ...
Nuclear level density of 161Dy in the shell Model Monte Carlo Method
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
We extend the shell-model Monte Carlo applications to the rare-earth region to include the odd-even nucleus Dy-161. The projection on an odd number of particles leads to a sign problem at low temperatures making it impractical ...
Percolation and Film Formation Behaviors of MWNT/PS Nanocomposites
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011)
This study involves the investigation of film formation and electrical conductivity properties of polystrene (PS) latex/multi-walled Carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites. Films prepared from PS/MWNT mixtures with different ...
A MULTIPLE-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHOD FOR EVALUATING SOLAR POWER PLANT LOCATION ALTERNATIVES
(EDITURA ASE, 2015)
Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy and one of the most important sources of the renewable energy because it is non-polluting and helps in lessening the greenhouse effect. Main problem of establishing ...
Novel Channel Models For Visible Light Communications
(Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2015)
In this paper we investigate channel modeling for visible light communications (VLC) using non-sequential ray tracing simulation tools. We create three dimensional realistic simulation environments to depict indoor scenarios ...
Recent Advances in the Application of the Shell Model Monte Carlo Approach to Nuclei
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015)
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) method is a powerful technique for calculating the statistical and collective properties of nuclei in the presence of correlations in model spaces that are many orders of magnitude larger ...
Collective enhancement of nuclear state densities by the shell model Monte Carlo approach
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015)
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) approach allows for the microscopic calculation of statistical and collective properties of heavy nuclei using the framework of the configuration-interaction shell model in very large ...
Achievable Performance of Bayesian Compressive Sensing Based Spectrum Sensing
(IEEE, 2014)
In wideband spectrum sensing compressive sensing approaches have been used at the receiver side to decrease the sampling rate if the wideband signal can be represented as sparse in a given domain. While most studies consider ...
