Blocking is one of the most important challenges in exploiting millimeterwave for fifth-generation (5G) cellular communication systems. Compared to blockages caused by buildings or terrains, human body blockage exhibits a higher complexity due to the mobility and dynamic statistics of humans. To support development of outdoor millimeter-wave cellular systems, in this paper we present a novel 3D...

There has been a growing interest in the commercialization of millimeter wave (mmW) technology as a part of the Fifth-Generation New Radio (5G-NR) wireless standardization efforts. In this direction, many sets of independent measurement campaigns show that wireless propagation at mmW carrier frequencies is only marginally worse than propagation at sub-6 GHz carrier frequencies for small-cell co...

soilless media have different physical properties. change in air space of mix substrate can cause change in fertigation management and plant growth and yield. physical properties (water holding capacity, effective air-filled pore space, effective pore space) of 50 mixed substrates were measured to evaluate the effect of air-filled pore space on growth of tomato transplant and it's water us...

We solve the problem of robot path planning using Dynamic Programming (DP) designed to perform well in case of a sudden path blockage. A conventional DP algorithm works well for real time scenarios only when the update frequency is high i.e. changes can be readily propagated. In case updates are costly, for a sudden blockage the robot continues moving along the wrong path or stands stationary. ...

constant rate of strain (crs) consolidation is a rapid test method used for determination of compressibility of clayey soils. in a crs test, the appropriate strain rate is selected based on pore water pressure ratio, i.e. the ratio of pore pressure to total stress. in the present study, to investigate the effect of strain rate on variation of relative pore water pressure, four different clay sa...

The chiral zeolite STW has been synthesized using a large dication containing three aromatic rings (two imidazolium moieties plus benzene one). integrity of the occluded organics is proven by 1H and 13C liquid NMR dissolved in HF/D2O. Molecular simulations strongly suggest that each ring located different cavity so crosses two medium pore 10-membered-ring (MR) windows. This confirmed Rietveld r...

Membrane distillation (MD) for water treatment is significantly impaired by the scaling of dissolved minerals. The type and content minerals generally measured as total solids (TDS) in hypersaline brines not only reduce MD flux but also control behavior on membrane surface. scaling-induced pore blockage further reduces eventually leads to wetting. problem even more pronounced produced (PW) it c...

measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do  not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. this study compares eight models for scaling ks and predicted matrix and macro pore ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...
