A review of mammographic region of interest classification
(WILEY PERIODICALS, INC, ONE MONTGOMERY ST, SUITE 1200, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94104 USA, 2020)
Early detection of breast cancer is important and highly valuable in clinical practice. X-ray mammography is broadly used for prescreening the breast and is also attractive due to its noninvasive nature. However, experts ...
A simple approach to prepare self-assembled, nacre-inspired clay/polymer nanocomposites
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND, 2020)
Inspired by the relationship between the well-ordered architecture of aragonite crystals and biopolymers found in natural nacre, we present a facile strategy to construct large-scale organic/inorganic nacre-mimetics with ...
Analysis of oscillator phase noise effect on high order QAM links
(SPRINGER, VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 2020)
In this work, the effect of oscillator phase noise on the bit error rate (BER) for high order QAM communication systems is analyzed. Two high frequency oscillators are designed, built and tested to get real phase noise ...
Neuro-Fuzzy-Based Model Predictive Energy Management for Grid Connected Microgrids
(MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2020)
With constant population growth and the rise in technology use, the demand for electrical energy has increased significantly. Increasing fossil-fuel-based electricity generation has serious impacts on environment. As a ...
Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading in Virtual Power Plant Based on Blockchain Smart Contracts
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 445 HOES LANE, PISCATAWAY, NJ 08855-4141 USA, 2020)
A novel Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading scheme for a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is proposed by using Smart Contracts on Ethereum Blockchain Platform. The P2P energy trading is the recent trend the power society is keen ...
Multiplexed patterning of cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals by additive jet printing for efficient white light generation
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND, 2020)
Inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) offer the ability to precisely but also flexibly control the peak emission wavelength while also possessing narrow-band emission spectra and high quantum yields. Owing to these ...
Metabolic Imaging Based Sub-Classification of Lung Cancer
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 445 HOES LANE, PISCATAWAY, NJ 08855-4141 USA, 2020)
Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancer types whose 84% is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, deep learning-based classification methods were investigated comprehensively to differentiate two subtypes ...
Linear variable optical attenuators with shaped-finger comb-drive actuators
(OPTICAL SOC AMER, 2010 MASSACHUSETTS AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA, 2020)
A design method is proposed for variable optical attenuators (VOAs), aiming at linear attenuation-voltage characteristics, and verified by finite element analysis. Devices of interest are planar VOAs based on microelectr ...
Implementation of cost benefit analysis of vehicle to grid coupled real Micro-Grid by considering battery energy wear: Practical study case
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2020)
The proposed research represents a spin-off of the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) Micro-Grid (MG) project. Particularly, economic impact of Electric Vehicles (EV) integration into the MG is investigated ...
Absorption enhancement by semi-cylindrical-shell-shaped structures for an organic solar cell application
(OPTICAL SOC AMER, 2010 MASSACHUSETTS AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA, 2020)
Organic solar cells are attractive for various applications with their flexibility and low-cost manufacturability. In order to increase their attractiveness in practice, it is essential to improve their energy conversion ...
