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 ...
Amplitude and Frequency Modulations with Cellular Neural Networks
(Springer, 2015)
Amplitude and frequency modulations are still the most popular modulation techniques in data transmission at telecommunication systems such as radio and television broadcasting gsm etc. However the architectures of these ...
The Cold War Origins of the Turkish Motor Vehicle Industry: The Tuzla Jeep 1954-1971
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014)
With its automobile exports measured in millions of units annually Turkey has become one of the top automobile producing nations in Europe. The current state of the Turkish motor vehicle industry stands in contrast to its ...
After the Crimean crisis: towards a greater Russian maritime power in the Black Sea
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014)
The modernization of the Black Sea Fleet currently underway is believed to be one of the most ambitious parts of the Russian State Arms Procurement programme 2011-2020. Up to 18 units are being built and are expected to ...
An Inverse Boundary Value Problem for a Second Order Elliptic Equation in a Rectangle
(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2014)
In this paper the inverse problem of finding a coefficient in a second order elliptic equation is investigated. The conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the classical solution of the problem under consideration ...
Elastic Properties of a Swollen PAAm-NIPA Copolymer with Various NIPA Contents
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Copolymer based on cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAAm) having N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) was prepared and their elastic properties were studied as a function of NIPA contents. NIPA content dependency of the shear modulus ...
Effect of Calcium Ion Concentration on Small Molecule Desorption from Alginate Beads
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2014)
Spherical alginate beads were prepared by ionotropic gelation of sodium alginate through the use of calcium ions. Pyranine (Py) was added to the alginate solution as a small molecule probe for fluorescence studies. Desorption ...
