This paper reports on improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of Y2O3-ZrO2 ceramics through compositional optimization, the use of nanograined powders and utilization of microwave sintering. ZrO2 with 2-5 mol% Y2O3, prepared from nanopowders, was sintered in both conventional and microwave furnaces under exactly the same heating schedule. It was found that microwave sintering improves physical and mechanical properties of Y2O3-ZrO2 ceramics compared with conventional sintering. Compositions containing 2 mol% Y2O3 exhibit the greatest improvement due to retention of tetragonal ZrO …


Maximum Lifetime Coverage Preserving Scheduling Algorithms In Sensor Networks, Maggie X. Cheng, Xuan Gong Nov 2011

Maximum Lifetime Coverage Preserving Scheduling Algorithms In Sensor Networks, Maggie X. Cheng, Xuan Gong

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

In wireless sensor networks, when each target is covered by multiple sensors, sensors can take turns to monitor the targets in order to extend the lifetime of the network. in this paper, we address how to improve network lifetime through optimal scheduling of sensor nodes. We present two algorithms to achieve the maximum lifetime while maintaining the required coverage: A linear programming-Based exponential-time exact solution, and an approximation algorithm. Numerical simulation results from the approximation algorithm are compared to the exact solution and show a high degree of accuracy and efficiency. © 2010 Springer Science Business Media, LLC.

Paim: Peer-Based Automobile Identity Management In Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, Anna Squicciarini, Dan Lin, Alessandro Mancarella

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

The emerging Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) technology will enable many exciting applications such as vehicular safety assistance and mobile entertainment. One of the key challenges toward successful roll-out of VANET applications is to provide security and privacy preserving mechanisms for users. Existing efforts on this topic rely heavily on infrastructure like road-side units which however are not available everywhere. to minimize the dependence on infrastructure, we propose a novel Peer-Based Automobile Identity Management (PAIM) Framework which is mainly based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication. PAIM supports dynamic event-Based moving zones formed by vehicles sharing common interest. PAIM achieves the level of privacy …

Performance Improvement For Collection Operations Using Join Query Optimization, Venkata Krishna Suhas Nerella, Sanjay Kumar Madria, Thomas Weigert

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Programming languages with explicit support for queries over collections allow programmers to express operations on collections more abstractly than relying on their realization in loops or through provided libraries. Join optimization techniques from the field of database technology support efficient realizations of such language constructs. We describe an algorithm that performs run-time query optimization and is effective for single runs of a program. the proposed approach relies on histograms built from the data at run time to estimate the selectivity of joins and predicates in order to construct query plans. Information from earlier executions of the same query during run …

Efforts toward improving the predictiveness in tier-based approaches to virtual screening (VS) have mainly focused on protein kinases. Despite their significance as drug targets, small molecule kinases have been rarely tested with these approaches. In this paper, we investigate the efficacy of a pharmacophore screening-combined structure-based docking approach on the human inducible 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, an emerging target for cancer chemotherapy. Six out of a total 1364 compounds from NCI's Diversity Set II were selected as true actives via throughput screening. Using a database constructed from these compounds, five programs were tested for structure-based docking (SBD) performance, the MOE of which showed …


Finite Element Based Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition For Complicated Em Calculation, Shiquan He, Zaiping Nie, Jun Zh Huang, Lijun Jiang, Weng Cho Chew Nov 2011

Finite Element Based Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition For Complicated Em Calculation, Shiquan He, Zaiping Nie, Jun Zh Huang, Lijun Jiang, Weng Cho Chew

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, a finite element based generalized impedance boundary condition (FEM-GIBC) is proposed to solve complicated electromagnetic (EM) problems. Complex structures with arbitrary inhomogeneity and shapes are modeled with the finite element method, and their scattering contributions are transformed to generalized impedance conditions on their boundaries. For each sub-domain, a special GIBC can be established and it is only related to the structures in this domain. Hence, for finite periodic structures, a representative GIBC can be formulated at the boundary of a unit cell. After the GIBC at each boundary is established, the electromagnetic coupling between each impedance boundary …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Electrically small structures embedded in a planarly layered medium are modeled by the augmented electric field integral equation (EFIE) method in this paper. By separating charge as extra unknown list, and enforcing the current continuity equation, an augmented EFIE (A-EFIE) can be setup. The matrix-friendly formulation of layered medium Green's function is applied and the frequency scaling of the impedance matrix in the moment method is analyzed when the frequency tends to zero. Rank deficiency and the charge neutrality enforcement is also discussed in detail. Numerical results show that the low frequency breakdown of electrically small structures embedded in a …

Finite-Width Gap Excitation And Impedance Models, Yat Hei Lo, Shiquan He, Lijun Jiang, Weng Cho Chew

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, we present a new method for the feed model for the method of moments (MoM). It is derived from a more accurate model with the realistic size of the excitation, in order to replace the commonly-used delta-gap excitation model. This new model is formulated around the electric field integration equations (EFIE) where the terms for magnetic current and magnetic field can be removed. Hence it is much simpler to implement and reduces the numerical complexity. In addition, a variational formulation is derived to provide second order accuracy of the input admittance calculation. Moreover, this new formulation can …

A Reversibility Analysis Of Encoding Methods For Spiking Neural Networks, Catherine Johnson, S. Roychowdhury, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy

Mining Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

There is much excitement surrounding the idea of using spiking neural networks (SNNs) as the next generation of function-approximating neural networks. However, with the unique mechanism of communication (neural spikes) between neurons comes the challenge of transferring real-world data into the network to process. Many different encoding methods have been developed for SNNs, most temporal and some spatial. This paper analyzes three of them (Poisson rate encoding, Gaussian receptor fields, and a dual-neuron n-bit representation) and tests to see if the information is fully transformed into the spiking patterns. an oft-neglected consideration in encoding for SNNs is whether or not …

In this paper, we propose a systematic framework for the optimization and analysis of the equivalent characteristic impedance of practical via structures. the framework consists of (a) optimizing via structures for impedance matching using a Genetic algorithm, and (b) numerically characterize, by Polynomial Chaos (PC) method, the sensitivity of the equivalent characteristic impedance to the manufacturing uncertainties in the various geometrical parameters of a via structure. the PC method can be effectively used to compute important statistical information, such as moments, probabilities and sensitivities with respect to the design variables. the PC method is straightforward to implement and can be …


Statistical Estimation Of Root Mean Square Crosstalk In Sfp+ Cable Evaluations, Dazhao Liu, Jue Chen, Zhiping Yang, Jun Fan Oct 2011

Statistical Estimation Of Root Mean Square Crosstalk In Sfp+ Cable Evaluations, Dazhao Liu, Jue Chen, Zhiping Yang, Jun Fan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A rigorous statistical estimation of the root mean square equation is proposed for near-end crosstalk simulation in SFP+ cable evaluations. This method employs the pulse response, the near-end output in the victim pair due to a single-pulse input of one bit long in the aggressor pair. This pulse response can be obtained from vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements. Thus SFP+ cable evaluations can be effectively performed using easier and more accurate frequency-domain measurements, instead of the time-domain ones defined in the specification. © 2011 IEEE.

High Frequency Permeability Of Fe-Al-Si Granular Composite Materials, Takanori Tsutaoka, Taisuke Ono, Aiko Tsurunaga, Teruhiro Kasagi, Kenichi Hatakeyama, Marina Koledintseva

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

High-frequency electromagnetic properties of Fe-Al-Si alloy (Sendust) granular composite materials have been studied by measuring their relative complex permeability (μr = μr’ – jμr”) and permittivity (εr = εr’ – j εr”) spectra. The bulk Fe-Al-Si alloy shows metallic electrical conduction, and permeability decreases rapidly with frequency. On the other hand, Sendust powder shows relatively high electrical resistivity. Sendust composite material demonstrates insulating electrical properties up to at least 80 vol.% particle content. Thus the relatively high permeability in the microwave frequency range can be obtained. Frequency dispersion characteristics of …

A Novel Characterization Method Of The Radiation Emission For Electromagnetic Compatibility, Ping Li, Lijun Jiang

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Conventionally the radiation emissions from PCB boards, electronic devices and antennas were characterized through the near field (NF)-far field (FF) transformation to find the equivalent sources. In this paper, a new methodology without NF-FF transformation is presented. Based on the uniqueness theorem, it only employs the measured tangential field over a spherical surface to rigorously characterize the outward radiation emission. The dyadic Green's function for the perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) sphere is derived using spherical wave functions. Based on this dyadic Green's function and integral equations, the NF-FF transformation is not necessary any more. To facilitate feasible near field measurements, …


Estimation Of Crosstalk Among Multiple Stripline Traces Crossing A Split By Compressed Sensing, Tao Wang, Yiyu Shi, Songping Wu, Jun Fan Oct 2011

Estimation Of Crosstalk Among Multiple Stripline Traces Crossing A Split By Compressed Sensing, Tao Wang, Yiyu Shi, Songping Wu, Jun Fan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In printed circuit board (PCB) designs, it is common to split power/ground planes into different partitions, which leads to more crosstalk among signal traces that route crossing a split. It is of general interest to develop a crosstalk model for various geometric parameters. However, the long time required to simulate the structure with any given set of geometric parameters renders general modelling approaches such as interpolation inefficient. in this paper, we develop an empirical model based upon the compressed sensing technique to characterize the crosstalk among traces as a function of geometric parameters. a good agreement between the empirical model …
