The commonly used Distributed Generations (DG) technologies include wind generators, photovoltaics, and biomass generators with their sizes varying between several kW to a few MW. Energy storage devices are generally used ...

This paper introduces a new scheme for spread spectrum multiple access. Like MC-CDMA, this scheme accomplishes spectral spreading by transmission of identical data over N carriers simultaneously. However, unlike any existing ...

We consider a multi-channel cognitive radio network (CRN) where multiple secondary users share a single channel and multiple channels are simultaneously used by a single secondary user (SU) to satisfy their rate requirements. ...

The spontaneous behavioral responses of individuals to the progress of an epidemic are recognized to have a significant impact on how the infection spreads. One observation is that, even if the infection strength is larger ...

In this paper, we analyze the uplink performance of an asynchronous carrier interferometry/MC-CDMA, with nonlinear parallel and serial interference cancellation techniques. Specifically, we employ the new variant of parallel ...

International students account for 3.5% of graduate students in the US with 17% enrolled in engineering programs in 2008. Recruiting and retention of International Graduate Students (IGS) is an essential and important ...

This paper introduces a novel TDMA scheme that provides enhanced throughput by employing carrier interferometry pulse shapes (CI pulse shapes). At the transmitter, CI pulse shapes are created from the superposition of N ...

This paper presents novel two-phase multi-objective evolutionary approaches for solving the optimal generation scheduling problem with environmental considerations. Two different multi-objective evolutionary algorithms ...

Pulse oximeters are central to the move toward wearable health monitoring devices and medical electronics either hosted by, e.g., smart phones or physically embedded in their design. This paper presents a small, low-cost ...
