Practical Implementation of the Combinational Cooperative Detection Method
(Springer, 2015)
In conventional cooperative detection a fusion center decides on the presence or the absence of a primary user (PU) by gathering all the information from secondary users (SUs) and conveys this decision to all users. This ...
Kinetic models for the dynamical behavior of polyacrylamide (PAAm)-kappa-carrageenan (kappa C) composite gels
(Springer, 2015)
A fluorescence method was employed for studying the drying and swelling of PAAm-kappa C composite gels which were formed from acrylamide (AAm) and N N'- methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) with various kappa-carrageenan (kappa ...
An Alternative Approach To Design Lumped Element Delay Equalizers
(Istanbul Univ Fac Engineering, 2015)
In this paper an algorithm has been proposed to design lumped element delay equalizers which is considered as a single block as opposed to the existing methods in literature. Then after obtaining the desired delay performance ...
Bianchi surfaces whose asymptotic lines are geodesic parallels

It is proved that every Bianchi surface in E-3 of class C-4 whose asymptotic lines are geodesic parallels is either a helicoid or a surface of revolution.
IEEE 802.15.4a Based Ultra Wideband Systems for Coexistence with Primary Users
(IEEE, 2015)
Peaceful coexistence is a major implementation issue for both cognitive radios and ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Accordingly the UWB impulse radio (UWB-IR) based Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standard IEEE 802.15.4a ...
Contraction Blockers for Graphs with Forbidden Induced Paths
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2015)
We consider the following problem: can a certain graph parameter of some given graph be reduced by at least d for some integer d via at most k edge contractions for some given integer k? We examine three graph parameters: ...
