Tolerance variations of the design parameters of the photonic crystals due to fabrication processes have a strong effect on the performance of the photonic crystals and their operating wavelengths. In this work, the uncertainties of the design parameters of one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PCs) and their impacts on the PCs optical properties and the operating performance are investigated. The

In this paper, a resource partitioning scheme combined with a new multi-carrier optical modulation technique for indoor visible light communication (VLC) system is proposed. In VLC systems, the coverage area is divided into multiple atto-cells. In each atto-cell, multiple LED arrays are used as access points (APs) serving the assigned users. The coverage area of APs might be overlapped to avoid

Pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) are a key component in the design of modern cryptographic mechanisms and are regarded as a backbone element of many modern cryptographic applications. However and in spite of their robustness, quantum computers could crack down PNGR-based systems. Quantum walks, a universal model of quantum computation, have nonlinear properties that make them a robust

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is an important source of meat and milk in countries with relatively warm weather. Compared to the cattle genome, a little has been done to reveal its genome structure and genomic traits. This is due to the complications stemming from the large genome size, the complexity of the genome, and the high repetitive content. In this paper, we introduce a high-quality

Magnifying micro changes in motion and brightness of videos that are unnoticeable by the human visual system have recently been an interesting area to explore. In this paper, we explore this technique in 3D facial video identification, we utilize this technique to identify 3D objects from 2D images. We present a Complex Wavelet Transform CWT, 2D-Dual CWT based technique, to calculate any changes

In this paper, we present a quadrature-phase oscillator that can provide four output voltages while operating from a single 0.5 V supply. The oscillator is based on two cross-coupled modified differential pair cells and provides signals with a phase difference of ±180° or ±90° depending on the chosen output nodes. A test chip with an active area of 0.175 mm2 was designed and fabricated in a 65-nm

This work is dedicated to the economic scheduling of the required electric stations in the upcoming 10-year long-term plan. The calculation of the required electric stations is carried out by estimating the yearly consumption of electricity over a long-time plan and then determining the required number of stations. The aim is to minimize the total establishing and operating costs of the stations

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of nuclear research reactor under two types of predictive controllers. The first one is Receding Horizon Predictive Controller (RHPC) which is considered a simple linear predictive controller. The other one is Neural Network Predictive Controller (NNPC) which is a type of nonlinear predictive controller. These controllers are applied over multi-point

Memristors are used in many innovative research areas. However, the temperature has a strong effect on mem-ristance, which results in malfunctions. Although commercial a memristor is available, its thermal characteristics are still under-explored. This paper presents a temperature model of a self-directed channel memristor. The experimental results of measuring high-resistive-state memristance

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an Internet revolution that is increasingly used in business, industry, medicine, the economy and other modern information society. IoT, particularly transport, industrial robots and automation systems are supported by artificial intelligence in a wide range of daily implementations with dominant industrial applications. IoT is an interconnected network of physical
