Advances in soft materials are reshaping the design of next-generation devices, particularly where flexibility, adaptability, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a blind equalization algorithm for dispersive wireless communication systems that employ high throughput quadrature amplitude modulation ...

Depth sensing indentation is a powerful experimental technique for determining mechanical properties of materials. In this work a computational routine was developed based on Oliver-Pharr method for ...

Logic elements, which are the basis of modern digital technology, are based on the use of Boolean logic. In 1854, George Boole proposed for the first time to investigate logical statements by ...

Abstract: Constant modulus (CM) waveform design with good auto- and cross correlation properties is the key issue in the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. The problem is nonconvex ...

A common operation in software is to take a machine word and map it to an integer value in a range [0,p) as fairly as possible. That is, you want that if all values of the machine word are equally ...

Natural gas hydrates have the properties of ice with a microporous structure and its concentration in sediments highly affects the wave velocity and attenuation. Previous studies have performed ...

The field of cardiomyocyte mechanobiology is gaining significant attention, due to accumulating evidence concerning the significant role of cellular mechanical effects on the integrated function of ...

Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.

In this paper, we propose a method for finding the best piecewise linearization of nonlinear functions. For this aim, we try to obtain the best approximation of a nonlinear function as a piecewise ...
