A hash-neighborhood-search-network-coding based opportunistic relay retransmission approach

In wireless multicast networks，it is rarely concerned that there may be certain receiving nodes which have better quality links both to the source node and to the other receiving nodes. A novel hash-neighborhoodsearch-network-coding based o...

Boost Converter Fed High Performance BLDC Drive for Solar PV Array Powered Air Cooling System

This paper proposes the utilization of a DC-DC boost converter as a mediator between a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) array and the Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) in an SPV array powered air cooling system to attain maximum efficiency. The boost ...

Design and Analysis of a New Dual-Stator Hybrid Magnet Flux Modulation Machine

This paper proposes a new dual-stator hybrid-magnet flux modulation machine (DS-FMHMM) for direct-drive applications, which employs NdFeB magnet excitation and Ferrite magnet excitation on the rotor and outer stator sides, respectively. Wit...

Nuclear Engineering in a Package

A FULLY EQUIPPED ATOMIC LABORATORY with instructions and experiments make up Nuclear-Chicago's new "packaged" nuclear engineering program for coDeges. First reactor from its production line will be installed at Northwestern University, Evan...

Neutrons and Nuclear Engineering

Oak Ridge National Laboratory hosted two workshops in April 2007 relevant to nuclear engineering education. In the Neutron Stress, Texture, and Phase Transformation for Industry workshop [http://neutrons.ornl.gov/workshops/nst2/], several i...

A new insight on the diffusion growth mechanism of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er system

The diffusion growth of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er alloys are closely related to the properties of the alloys. The current work aims at explaining the dominance of Al3Er in the Al-Er alloys precipitation phases and the interface thin ...

Unveiling the Assembly of Neutral Marine Polysaccharides into Electrostatic-Driven Layer-by-Layer Bioassemblies by Chemical Functionalization

Marine-origin polysaccharides, in particular cationic and anionic ones, have been widely explored as building blocks in fully natural or hybrid electrostatic-driven Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assemblies for bioapplications. However, the low chemi...

Acceleration of Digital Stochastic Measurement Simulation Based on Concurrent Programming

A/D conversion methods improved through stochastic signal superposition, along with oversampling techniques present significant research direction in the area of signal processing and measurement. Concerning that accuracy of those methods r...

Resource Allocation for Cognitive Satellite Communications Downlink

Cognitive satellite communications (SatCom) is considered to be able to alleviate the bottleneck of spectrum resource shortage due to traditional spectrum allocation. This paper focuses on a special scenario where the frequency band of SatC...

Spectrum sensing and resource allocation for 5G heterogeneous cloud radio access networks

Abstract In this paper, the problem of opportunistic spectrum sharing for the next generation of wireless systems empowered by the cloud radio access network (C‐RAN) is studied. More precisely, low‐priority users employ cooperative spectrum...

Estimation of Time-Varying Coherence and Its Application in Understanding Brain Functional Connectivity

Time-varying coherence is a powerful tool for revealing functional dynamics between different regions in the brain. In this paper, we address ways of estimating evolutionary spectrum and coherence using the general Cohen's class distrib...

Sequential generation of linear cluster states from a single photon emitter

Generating photonic cluster states using a single non-heralded source and a single entangling gate would optimise scalability and reduce resource overhead. Here, the authors generate up to 4-photon cluster states using a quantum dot coupled...

Innovative Entrepreneurship: a Source of Economic Growth in the Region

This article presents the findings of the study on the role of innovative entrepreneurship in the regional economy. The analysis is based on the methodology developed by Hermann Simon, a German scientist who has coined the term ”hidden cham...

The Thermomechanical Finite Element Analysis of 3003-H14 Plates Joined by the GMAW Process

The gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process was used to weld 3003-H14 plates under restricted and unrestricted thermal expansion. Experimental and numerical analysis were conducted to determine the relation between weld thermal cycles and resi...
