Polymer-Ceramic Nanocomposites
(Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2009)
Steady state fluorescence (SSF) and photon transmission (PT) techniques were used for studying film formation from TiO2 and Al2O3 covered polystyrene (PS) latex particles. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures ...
Scaling Laws For Distributed Estimation Over Orthogonal Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2009)
We analyze the outage for distributed estimation over orthogonal fading channels as a function of the number of sensors K. We consider a scenario of fixed power per-sensor with an asymptotically large number of sensors. ...
Optimization Model for Distributed Routing for Disaster Area Logistics
(IEEE, 2009)
The problem of transportation in a disaster area can be seen broadly as having two aspects: (a) moving people and materials out of an area and (b) moving people and materiel into the same area. The common thread here is ...
Fluorescence technique for monitoring swelling of PAAm-kappa-carrageenan gel composites
(Shaker Publishing, 2009)
Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for studying swelling of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels with various content of kappa- carrageenan. Disc shaped composite gels were prepared by free-radical cross/inking ...
Iterative Receiver for DS-CDMA Systems in the Presence of Time-Varying Channels
(IEEE, 2008)
In this paper we present an efficient iterative receiver structure of tractable complexity for joint multiuser detection and multichannel estimation (JDE) of direct-sequence code-division multiple-access systems operating ...
Navigation of autonomous mobile robots in connected groups
(IEEE, 2008)
The navigation of autonomous mobile robots as a group is considered in this paper. Definitions adopted from the graph theory are given to characterize the robot group. A local steering strategy is proposed such that when ...
Outage Diversity for Distributed Estimation over Parallel Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2008)
In this paper we study the outage diversity in distributed estimation over parallel fading channels. We find tight upper and lower bounds on the diversity order and show that they are arbitrarily close under certain ...
Distributed estimation over parallel fading channels with channel estimation error
(IEEE, 2008)
We consider distributed estimation of a source observed by sensors in additive Gaussian noise where the sensors are connected to a fusion center with unknown orthogonal (parallel) flat Rayleigh fading channels. We adopt a ...
Performance of Stack Equalizer over Frequency Selective Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2008)
In this paper the performance of the low complexity modified stack equalizer over frequency-selective fading channels is inspected. With the help of simulation results it is illustrated that by sacrificing the computational ...
Design of mixed-element networks via modeling
(IEEE, 2008)
A new method is introduced to design mixed lumped and distributed element network
