This study experimentally investigates the effects of barely visible impact damage (BVID) under low-velocity impact and its influence on post-impact residual flexural properties of hybrid flax-basalt Eco-composites Fibri ...

A fully integrated cross-coupled charge pump circuit with a new clock scheme has been presented in this paper. The new clock scheme ensures that all NMOS pre-charge transistors are turned off when the voltages of main clock ...

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first line treatment for many bone diseases including hypercalcimia associated with bone malignancies. In this paper, we introduce a new analogue of bisphosphonate called the 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate ...

The design of a 14-mW receiver without phase-locked loop for the Chinese electronic toll collection (ETC) system in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process is presented in this brief. Since the previously published work was mainly ...

A framework for energy-efficient resource allocation in a single-user, amplify-and-forward (AF), relay-assisted, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system is devised in this paper. Previous results in this area have ...

This paper proposes an approach to enhancing the accuracy of multimodal biometrics in uncontrolled environments. Variation in operating conditions results in mismatch between the training and test material, and thereby ...

This paper is concerned with the verification effectiveness in open-set, text-independent speaker identification. The study includes an analysis of the characteristics of this mode of speaker recognition and the potential ...

This paper describes an investigation into text dependent speaker verification using orthogonal feature: parameters of speech. The study is based on the use of a subset of the BT Millar speech database, consisting of ...
