Breaking the MDS-PIR Capacity Barrier via Joint Storage Coding
Paper explores the possibility of the capacity of private information retrieval (PIR) from databases coded using maximum distance separable (MDS) codes to be broken through joint encoding and storage of messages.
Chemistry of Supraglacial Ponds in thte Debris-Covered Area of Lirung Glacier in Central Nepal Himalayas
This article examines elevation trends and their control by seasonality, dominant geochemical processes, and season dynamics in these supraglacial ponds at elevations ranging between 3989 and 4292 m above sea level in the debris-covered area of Lirung glacier in central Nepal Himalayas, from November 2010 to October 2011 on a bimonthly basis.
A Cost-Effective Wireless Sensor Network System for Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Applications
This paper from the 9th International Conference on Future Networks and Communications, FNC 2014 conference proceedings presents a low-cost indoor air quality monitoring wireless sensor network system developed using Arduino, XBee modules, and micro gas sensors.
Fabrication and characterization of inkjet-printed 2D perovskite optoelectronic devices
Article presents the large scale synthesis of solution-processed 2D (CH₃(CH₂)₃NH₃)₂(CH₃NH₃)ₙ − 1PbₙI₃ₙ + 1 (n = 2, 3, and 4) perovskites, a family of layered compounds with composition-tunable bandgap, where inkjet printing was used to fabricate heterostructure, flexible photodetector devices. The flexible, inkjet-printed perovskite 2D heterostructures have significant potential for optoelectronic devices, which can enable broad possibilities with compositional tunability and versatility of the organohalide perovskites.
Interrogating vertically oriented carbon nanofibers with nanomanipulation for nanoelectromechanical switching applications
Article demonstrates electrostatic switching in vertically oriented carbon nanofibers synthesized on refractory metallic nitride substrates, where pull-in voltages Vpi ranged from 10 to 40 V. A finite element model was also developed to determine a theoretical Vpi and results were compared to experiment.
Multilevel Topological Interference Management: A TIM-TIN Perspective
Article combining TIN with the topological interference management (TIM) framework that identifies optimal interference avoidance schemes and formulates a TIM-TIN problem for multilevel topological interference management, wherein only a coarse knowledge of channel strengths and no knowledge of channel phases is available to transmitters.
Tuneable complementary metamaterial structures based on graphene for single and multiple transparency windows
Article describes a study examining novel graphene-based tunable plasmonic metamaterials featuring single and multiple transparency windows.
