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 ...
Towards Faster Branch Outage Simulations Using Simulated Annealing and Parallel Programming
(IEEE, 2009)
Contingency studies such as branch outage and generator outage are among important studies of energy management centers operations. Branch outage modeling on the other hand is one of the basic steps of post-outage state ...
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. ...
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 ...
Design of mixed-element networks via modeling
(IEEE, 2008)
A new method is introduced to design mixed lumped and distributed element network
Joint Data Detection and Channel Estimation for OFDM Systems in the Presence of Very High Mobility
(IEEE, 2009)
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of joint channel estimation and data detection for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency selective and very ...
On preserving connectivity of autonomous mobile robots
(IEEE, 2009)
The connectivity of the autonomous mobile robots is considered in this paper. The group navigation is provided using simple local steering rules and without any explicit communication. Sub-optimal solutions are invoked to ...
Detection of Multiple Primary Systems Using DAA UWB-IRs
(IEEE, 2009)
Underlay ultra wideband (UWB) systems have to be able to detect the presence of primary systems operating in the same band for detect-and-avoid (DAA) operation. In this paper the performances of joint and independent ...
