General equilibrium evaluation of deregulation in energy sectors in China
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015)
The central government in China has implemented ambitious energy policy reforms since 1978. An important pillar of these reforms is the deregulation in the energy markets which manifests itself in the formation of energy ...
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 ...
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: ...
Analysis of Extended Busy Tone Performance for Coexistence between WRAN and WLAN TVWS Networks
(IEEE, 2015)
TV White Spaces indicate spectrum bands which were reserved for licensed terrestrial TV broadcasting and opened to unlicensed use under regulatory conditions. One important regulation which is common in all regulatory ...
Low Energy Fixed Clustering Algorithm (LEFCA) for Wireless Sensor Networks
(IEEE, 2015)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become an important part of our lives as they can be used in vast application areas from disaster relief to health care. As a consequence the life span and the energy consumption of a ...
Pilot Symbol Assisted Channel Estimation for 4x4 Space Time Block Coded Spatial Modulation Systems
(IEEE, 2015)
Recently spatial modulation (SM) and space-time block coding (STBC) are combined to take advantage of the benefits of both while avoiding their drawbacks for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The pioneering ...
Identifying City Differences in Perceived Group Discrimination among Second-generation Turks and Moroccans in Belgium
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015)
This study investigates the effects of city context on the levels and predictors of perceived group discrimination (GD) among Turkish and Moroccan second-generation immigrants in Belgium. Based on the Integration of the ...
Flavonoids from Sideritis Species: Human Monoamine Oxidase (hMAO) Inhibitory Activities Molecular Docking Studies and Crystal Structure of Xanthomicrol
(MDPI, 2015)
The inhibitory effects of flavonoids on monoamine oxidases (MAOs) have attracted great interest since alterations in monoaminergic transmission are reported to be related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's ...
