The combination of infrastructure-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communications, namely the multi-hop Vehicular Communications Network (VCN) , appears as a promising solution for the ubiquitous access to IP services in ...

With the continuous growth of non-linear power electronic components and the increasing penetration of the distributed generation (DG), the potential for degradation in the power quality of the existing grid exists. There ...

Over the last decade, mobile devices have become popular among people, and their number is ever growing because of the computing functionality they offer beyond primary voice communication. However, mobile devices are ...

An alternative approach to energy integrating systems is photon counting which provides higher dose efficiency through efficient noise rejection and optimal energy weighting, and, moreover, is not susceptible to memory ...

Digital imaging systems for medical applications use amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) technology due to its ability to be manufactured over large areas, making it useful for X-ray imaging, which requires imagers ...

Developers are often faced with the task of implementing new features or diagnosing problems in large software systems. Convoluted control and data flows in large object-oriented software systems, however, make even simple ...

In this work, we propose Tags, an e cient mechanism that augments microkernel interprocess messages with lightweight metadata to enable the development of new, systemwide functionality without requiring the modi cation ...

The Successive Approximation Analog-to-Digital converter (SAR-ADC) is a popular architecture due to its low power, simple design, and reasonable resolution and speed. Due to the prevalence of ADCs in modern hardware, it ...

A wireless ad hoc network is a collection of wireless computing devices that self-configure to form a network independently of any fixed infrastructure. Many wireless ad hoc network devices such as smartphones and tablets ...

The presence of defects in outdoor insulators ultimately results in the initiation of partial discharge (PD) activity. Because insulation failure and the consequent breakdown of power equipment can occur due to the cumulative ...
