Reliable connectivity between vehicles is a requirement for efficient overtaking warning systems. We investigate the 6 GHz propagation channel between oncoming vehicles with five different types of large obstructing vehicles in a poor scattering environment. The presented channel gains emphasize the advantages of different antenna positions and the difference between a straight road and curved roa
Algorithms for secure encryption in a post-quantum world are currently receiving a lot of attention in the research community, including several larger projects and a standardization effort from NIST. One of the most promising algorithms is the code-based scheme called QC-MDPC, which has excellent performance and a small public key size. In this work we present a very efficient key recovery attack
This work presents an analysis of the physical properties of sub-micrometer aerosol particles measured at the high Arctic site Villum Research Station, Station Nord (VRS), northeast Greenland, between July 2010 and February 2013. The study focuses on particle number concentrations, particle number size distributions and the occurrence of new particle formation (NPF) events and their seasonality in
One of the basic aspects of Massive MIMO (MaMi) that is in the focus of current investigations is its potential of using low-cost and energy-efficient hardware. It is often claimed that MaMi will allow for using analog-to-digital converters(ADCs) with very low resolutions and that this will result in overall improvement of energy efficiency. In this contribution, we perform a parametric energy eff
IMPORTANCE Fluid overload occurring as a consequence of overly aggressive fluid resuscitation may adversely affect outcome in hemodynamically unstable critically ill patients. Therefore, following the initial fluid resuscitation, it is important to identify which patients will benefit from further fluid administration. OBJECTIVE To identify predictors of fluid responsiveness in hemodynamically uns
Multi-atlas segmentation has become a frequently used tool for medical image segmentation due to its outstanding performance. A computational bottleneck is that all atlas images need to be registered to a new target image. In this paper, we propose an intermediate representation of the whole atlas set – an überatlas – that can be used to speed up the registration process. The representation consis
Two different solutions for the characteristic modes (CMs) of lossy structures were previously developed using induced volume currents. The first solution diagonalizes the scattering and perturbation matrices, guaranteeing far-field orthogonality at the cost of imaginary eigenvalues and eigencurrents. The second solution does not perfectly diagonalize these matrices, but maintains real-valued eige
High computational cost is the main obstacle to adapting globally optimal branch-and-bound algorithms to intensity-based registration. Existing techniques to speed up such algorithms use a multiresolution pyramid of images and bounds on the target function among different resolutions for rigidly aligning two images. In this paper, we propose a dual algorithm in which the optimization is done in th
This paper highlights the issues of detecting Java concurrency bugs using static code analysis tools. Concurrency bugs are often hard to find because of interleaving threads and there is need to use static analysis tools to detect the concurrency bugs. In the literature review, we established that there are number of static analysis tools such as FindBugs, JLint and Chord, used in experiments to d
This paper presents the hardware implementation of a wavelet based event detector for cardiac pacemakers. A high level energy estimation flow was applied to evaluate energy efficiency of standard-cell based designs, over several CMOS technology generations, from 180 to 65 nm, operated in the sub-threshold domain. The simulation results indicate a 65 nm low-leakage high-threshold (LL-HVT) CMOS tech
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has gained a tremendous amount of attention as a key enabler of fifth-generation cellular systems. The majority of the vast literature on massive MIMO is based on fully digital processing, where each antenna element in the massive array is equipped with an up/down-conversion chain. Unlike previous works, we present a suite of greedy algorithms using pu
Favorable propagation (FP) and channel hardening (CH) are desired properties in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To date, these properties have primarily been analyzed for classical statistical channel models, or ray-based models with very specific angular parameters and distributions. This paper presents a thorough mathematical analysis of the asymptotic system behavior for
A low-cost microstrip patch antenna array is proposed in this paper for automotive radar applications in ISM 24 GHz band. The elements of the center-fed array are connected in series to make a compact design with low complexity by obviating Wilkinson power divider. This approach also helps to reduce the dielectric losses of the array. A full-wave electromagnetics (EM) software EMPIRE XPU is used i
The ignition of nitromethane/O2/N2 mixtures was investigated via shock tube experiments in the temperature range 947–1333 K at reflected shock pressures near 8, 16 and 32 atm. The ignition was recorded as the intensity maxima of unfiltered luminosity in the range 240–530 nm. Under the experimental conditions of the present study, ignition was found to proceed via a two stage process. Dependencies
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communication is expected to play a key role in enabling complex Advanced Driving Assistance Applications, including the support of emerging autonomous vehicles. The development of V2X applications, especially safety-related, requires rigorous verification. Field trials, though, have to be supplemented with less expensive and more repeatable methods. Thorough V
This paper proposes a BP-based algorithm for sequential detection and estimation of MPC parameters based on radio signals. Under dynamic channel conditions with moving transmitter and/or receiver, the number of MPCs reflected from visible geometric features, the MPC dispersion parameters (delay, angle, Doppler frequency, etc), and the number of false alarm contributions are unknown and time-varyin
This paper presents an analysis of channel characteristics for an outdoor scenario at the frequency band of 28-30 GHz. A geometry-based clustering algorithm is proposed to group the measured multipath components (MPCs) based on the interaction points on the surrounding walls or objects obtained from Ray Tracing 3-D simulations, which is more physically interpretable than the traditional clustering
