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. ...
Acculturation Attitudes and Social Adjustment in British South Asian Children: A Longitudinal Study
(Sage Publications Inc, 2013)
A 1-year longitudinal study with three testing points was conducted with 215 British Asian children aged 5 to 11 years to test hypotheses from Berry's acculturation framework. Using age-appropriate measures of acculturation ...
Fluorescence quenching method for monitoring oxygen diffusion into PS/CNT composite films
(Elsevier Science SA, 2013)
Oxygen permeabilities of nanocomposite films consisting of multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) and polystyrene (PS) were determined to investigate the oxygen diffusion depending on MWNT and temperature. A method which is ...
Conditional Power and Rate Adaptation for MQAM/OFDM Systems Under CFO With Perfect and Imperfect Channel Estimation Errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015)
In this paper a new conditional power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) with perfect and imperfect channel ...
Secondhand smoke in waterpipe tobacco venues in Istanbul Moscow and Cairo
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019)
Objective: The prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking has risen in recent decades. Controlled studies suggest that waterpipe secondhand smoke (SHS) contains similar or greater quantities of toxicants than cigarette SHS ...
Transmembrane helix 6 observed at the interface of beta(2)AR homodimers in blind docking studies
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2015)
Peptide- and protein-protein dockings were carried out on beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) to confirm the presence of transmembrane helix 6 (TM6) at the interface region between two beta(2)AR monomers thereby its ...
Profit sharing between managers and investors: An experimental investigation
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)
This study analyzes the effect of interest and power structures and conflict of interest among managers and investors and tests the effect of different payout mechanisms on willingness to pay. In this study 74 student ...
Joint Channel Estimation and Symbol Detection for OFDM Systems in Rapidly Time-Varying Sparse Multipath Channels
(Springer, 2015)
In this paper we propose a space-alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) based joint channel estimation and data detection algorithm in compressive sensing (CS) framework for orthogonal frequency-division ...
