In this paper, we analyze the secrecy performance of maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity scheme over Nakagami-m fading channels. Closed form expressions for probability of existence of positive secrecy (PEPS) and ...

A miniaturized wideband Vivaldi antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is compact in size, has wide bandwidth and high radiation efficiency. The proposed antenna is simulated and fabricated on FR-4 ...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM)is the most dominant innovation in the field of non-traditional machining for the processing of difficult-to-machine materials. This practice considerably improves the machining ...

Fog computing consists of modest capability fog nodes located close to the data generation sources. These nodes are ideal for executing small interactive tasks with a low latency requirement. Tasks that are larger and ...

This note describes a faster and complete consolidation testing procedure using the inflection point method so as to obtain the void ratio–consolidation curve at the end-of-primary consolidation and the coefficient of ...

An efficient method to access 2-triazolyl thio-/selenopyridines with good to excellent yields by ruthenium(II)-catalyzed one-pot [3+2]/[2+2+ 2] cycloaddition reactions of azides, 1-alkynyl thio-/ selenocyanates and ...

This study presents a novel adaptive droop control (ADC) strategy for power-sharing in a multi-terminal high-voltage DC grid while maintaining a desirable DC voltage level. The ADC scheme can share the power without ...

Designs based on single diffractive-optical-elements for obtaining flat-top laser intensity distributions that remain constant over a long range during free-space propagation are presented. Flat-top beams with different ...

A variety of complex and expensive techniques, which usually work efficiently in the visible range only, have been developed to make a near-perfect blackbody. In this work, novel hierarchical dandelion-like flower carbon ...

For a long time, tuberculosis (TB) has been inflicting mankind with the highest morbidity and mortality. Although the current treatment is extremely potent, a few bacilli can still hide inside the host mesenchymal stem cells ...
