Information theoretical performance limits of single-carrier underwater acoustic systems
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2014)
In this study the authors investigate the information theoretical limits on the performance of point-to-point single-carrier acoustic systems over frequency-selective underwater channels with intersymbol interference. Under ...
Compressive sensing for ultra-wideband channel estimation: on the sparsity assumption of ultra-wideband channels
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
Due to the sparse structure of ultra-wideband (UWB) multipath channels there has been a considerable amount of interest in applying the compressive sensing (CS) theory to UWB channel estimation. The main consideration of ...
WikiLeaks on the Middle East: Obscure Diplomacy Networks and Binding Spaces
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014)
In this paper we explore the flow of information regarding strategic Middle Eastern countries in the WikiLeaks 'diplomatic cables' by applying data-mining techniques to construct directed networks. The results show that ...
Weak generalized and numerical solution for a quasilinear pseudo-parabolic equation with nonlocal boundary condition
(Springer International Publishing, 2014)
This paper investigates the one dimensional mixed problem with nonlocal boundary conditions for the quasilinear parabolic equation. Under some natural regularity and consistency conditions on the input data the existence ...
Design of Practical Broadband Matching Networks With Mixed Lumped and Distributed Elements
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2014)
Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are always preferred for designing broadband matching networks. However these tools give excellent results when the suitable matching network topology and initial element values are provided. ...
Market power in CEE banking sectors and the impact of the global financial crisis
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014)
The aim of this study is to undertake an up-to-date assessment of market power in Central and Eastern European banking markets and explore how the global financial crisis has affected market power and what has been the ...
Migration asMovement andMultiplace Life: Some Recent Developments in Rural Living Structures in Turkey
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
Discussing recent trends and developments in migration and mobility affecting what may be referred to as a reconstitution' of villages this paper discusses the changing character of rural settlement and settlement patterns ...
Group behaviour in physical chemical and biological systems
(Indıan Acad Scıences, 2014)
Groups exhibit properties that either are not perceived to exist or perhaps cannot exist at the individual level. Such 'emergent' properties depend on how individuals interact both among themselves and with their surroundings. ...
(Il)Legitimisation of the role of the nation state: Understanding of and reactions to Internet censorship in Turkey
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014)
This study aims to explore Turkish citizen-consumers' understanding of and reactions to censorship of websites in Turkey by using in-depth interviews and online ethnography. In an environment where sites such as YouTube ...
Scheduling a log transport system using simulated annealing
(Elsevier Science, 2014)
The log truck scheduling problem under capacity constraints and time window constraints is an NP-hard problem that involves the design of best possible routes for a set of trucks serving multiple loggers and mills. The ...
