The κ-μ / inverse gamma and η-μ / inverse gamma composite fading models are presented and extensively investigated in this paper. We derive closed-form expressions for the fundamental statistics of the κ-μ / inverse gamma composite fading model, such as the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), moment generating function (MGF), higher order moments and amou...

Composite fingerprinting represents an effective method of reconstructing sediment-source changes in remote areas where long-term hydrological and sediment accretion records do not exist. A ca. 50-year record of sediment deposition was determined for a small catchment at Shudu, situated in northwest Yunnan Province, China. Woodland, pasture, shrubland and channel bank material are identified as...

Delicately assembled composites of semiconducting nanomaterials and biological materials provide an attractive interface for emerging applications, such as chemical/biological sensors, wearable health monitoring devices, and therapeutic agent releasing devices. The nanostructure of composites as a channel and a sensing material plays a critical role in the performance of field effect transistor...

In this study, the product of two independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) random variables (RVs) for κ-μ fading distribution and α-μ fading distribution is considered. The method of the product model of RVs has been widely applied in numerous of communications fields, such as cascaded fading channels, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, radar communications and cogniti...

The seminal q-composite key predistribution scheme[3] (IEEE S&P; 2003) is used prevalently for secure communica-tions in large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Yağan [12](IEEE IT 2012) and we [15] (IEEE ISIT 2013) explore topologicalproperties of WSNs employing the q-composite scheme in thecase of q = 1 with unreliable communication links modeledas independent on/of...

Prognostic is a key step of the condition-based maintenance (CBM). In order to improve the predicting performance, a novel method for prognostic for the hydraulic pump is proposed in this paper. Based on the improvement of the traditional composite spectrum, the DCT-composite spectrum (DCS) fusion algorithm is initially presented to make fusion of multi-channel vibration signals. The DCS compos...

A new implementation scheme of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is proposed in this paper. The LUT based design of S-box consumes almost 75% of power. Instead of using LUT based S-box, composite field S-box design is used. That can reduce the amount of power consumption. The values of s-box are known to everyone. By masking the each value in the s-box by another masking function increase the ...

Multilayered Composite Material High electrical anisotropic multilayered composite material comprised by rGO and PEDOT:PSS is presented Varlei Rodrigues, Henrique Leonel Gomes, coworkers in article number 2100255. A five-order of magnitude difference between the in-plane out plane conductivity among highest anisotropy values reported. The demonstrated a novel organic field-effect transistor arc...

The behavior of quantum mechanical state functions under selective rotations is discussed. If a t~o-level transition is phase shifted vrith composite z pulses, the component state function shared ~ith a connected transition can be multiplied by i, thereby shifting the corresponding coherence into an orthogonal channel. Application to the sensitive indirect detection of NMR transitions is demons...

Using well known duality between quantum maps and states of composite systems we introduce the notion of Schmidt number of a quantum channel. It enables one to define classes of quantum channels which partially break quantum entanglement. These classes generalize the well known class of entanglement breaking channels.
