Literature of Immigration as a Literature of Europe
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016)
Any understanding of European literature that does not include immigrant literature results in an incomplete vision of literature created in Europe. As immigrant writers have sought to find a place for themselves and their ...
Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
An intelligent approach to supplier evaluation in automotive sector
(Springer, 2016)
During the process of supplier evaluation selecting the best desirable supplier is one of the most critical problems of companies since improperly selected suppliers may cause losing time cost and market share of a company. ...
The Electrochromic Performances of Single Phase VO2 Nanoparticled Films
(Elsevier Science SA, 2016)
In the present work pure phase vanadium oxide VO2 nanoparticled films were synthesized using acetate based sol-gel precursors. The effect of the water: Vanadyl acetylacetonate ratio on electrochemical and structural ...
Performance Analysis of Maximal Ratio Transmission with Relay Selection in Two-way Relay Networks Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels
(Springer, 2016)
In this paper we investigate the performance of an amplify-and-forward multi-input multi-output two way relay network where two sources are equipped with multiple antennas employing maximal ratio transmission and the ...
Weight Exchange in Distributed Learning
(IEEE, 2016)
Neural networks may allow different organisations to extract knowledge from the data they collect about a similar problem domain. Moreover learning algorithms usually benefit from being able to use more training instances. ...
Data Detection Based Iterative Channel Estimation for Coded SM-OFDM Systems
(IEEE, 2016)
The combination of spatial modulation (SM) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as SM-OFDM is a recently proposed efficient modulation scheme with exploiting the index of transmit antenna to convey information ...
Unpacking the Relationship Between Materialism Status Consumption and Attitude to Debt the Role of Islamic Religiosity
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2016)
Purpose - The purpose of the study is to investigate how religiosity affects these relationships inTurkey where consumption is de-stigmatized among a new economic elite with strong ties to Islamism. The literature commonly ...
Generalized LED Index Modulation Optical OFDM for MIMO Visible Light Communications Systems
(IEEE, 2016)
In this paper we propose a generalized light emitting diode (LED) index modulation scheme for multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) visible light communications (VLC) systems. ...
Performance of MIMO Enhanced Unipolar OFDM With Realistic Indoor Visible Light Channel Models
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
Visible light communication (VLC) involves the dual use of illumination infrastructure for high speed wireless access. Designing such optical based communication systems realistic indoor optical channel modeling becomes ...
