Channel Estimation for SM Systems over Time-Varying Rayleigh Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2014)
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of channel estimation for spatial modulated systems in the presence of time varying channels. Recently estimation of channel state information for SM systems ...
Cumulative prospect theory preferences in rent-seeking contests
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
We investigate the equilibrium behavior for agents with cumulative prospect theory preferences in rent-seeking contests. Characterizing the equilibrium effort levels we present results on the existence of equilibrium and ...
Contraction and deletion blockers for perfect graphs and H-free graphs
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
We study the following problem: for given integers d k and graph G can we reduce some fixed graph parameter pi of G by at least d via at most k graph operations from some fixed set S? As parameters we take the chromatic ...
Bivariate Pseudo-Gompertz distribution and concomitants of its order statistics
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013)
This paper presents a new bivariate Pseudo-Gompertz distribution that sprouts from the classical Gompertz distribution and possesses the features of pseudo-distribution functions. In addition to some standard properties ...
Waterpipe tobacco smoke: Characterization of toxicants and exposure biomarkers in a cross-sectional study of waterpipe employees
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019)
Introduction: Few studies have comprehensively characterized toxic chemicals related to waterpipe use and secondhand waterpipe exposure. This cross-sectional study investigated biomarkers of toxicants associated with ...
CAMPways: constrained alignment framework for the comparative analysis of a pair of metabolic pathways
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Motivation: Given a pair of metabolic pathways an alignment of the pathways corresponds to a mapping between similar substructures of the pair. Successful alignments may provide useful applications in phylogenetic tree ...
Navigation of non-communicating autonomous mobile robots with guaranteed connectivity
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2013)
We consider the connectivity of autonomous mobile robots. The robots navigate using simple local steering rules without requiring explicit communication among themselves. We show that using only position information of ...
Orthogonal projection and liftings of Hamilton-decomposable Cayley graphs on abelian groups
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013)
In this article we introduce the concept of (p alpha)-switching trees and use it to provide sufficient conditions on the abelian groups G and H for when CAY (G x H
In silico identification of novel and selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitors
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2013)
Monoamine oxidases (MAO) A and B are flavin adenine dinucleotides containing enzymes bound to the mitochondrial outer membranes of the cells of the brain liver intestine and placenta as well as platelets. Recently selective ...
Landfill Gas to the Energy Potential of Turkey: A Scenario-based Multi-period Simulation
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013)
Turkey is a developing country with increasing power demands and limited energy sources. Municipal solid waste processing landfilling and utilization of the gas to generate electric power and lower emissions has been used ...
