Data path synthesis is still regarded by researchers as one of the hardest problems in high level synthesis, the process of transforming a hardware descriptive language model, which describes the behavior of a given ...

Parallel genetic algorithms techniques have been used in a variety of computer engineering and science areas. This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm to solve the site layout problem with unequal-size and constrained ...

The addition of an external communication layer to the power system has left it vulnerable to cyberattacks. False data injection (FDI) can be used to manipulate measurements that are used to estimate the state of the power ...

A long-term bench scale treatability study was performed to assess the ability to remediate chromite ore processing residue (COPR) using calcium polysulfide (CaS5). COPR materials were characterized with respect to particle ...

In a male-dominated Middle Eastern society, female academics and professionals have come a long way in recent decades, challenging long-held stereotypes about women holding careers in fields of science and technology. ...

This paper targets the performance analysis of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) point-to-point single-aperture relay-assisted and MIMO relay-assisted free-space optical (FSO) communications. The objective of the paper ...

In this study, the authors evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance of multichannel power line communication (PLC) systems under lognormal fading and Nakagami-m background noise. The information signal propagates over ...

This paper targets the bit error rate (BER) performance analysis of mixed radio-frequency free-space optical (RF/FSO) communication systems with a single source, single destination and multiple relays operating in the ...

The impact of different concentrations of tetracycline on the performance of anaerobic treatment was evaluated. Results revealed that for all of the tested tetracycline concentrations, no major sustained impact on methane ...

In light of the increasing cost of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures and the limited availability of good materials, cold in-place recycling (CIR) offers an attractive alternative for rehabilitating asphalt pavements. Because ...
