Finite-difference time-domain simulations are performed on a 900 MHz band antenna inside and outside the carbon fiber body of a solar-powered electric vehicle. Data are analyzed to determine the optimal antenna placement for transmission to a receiving antenna located toward the rear of the solar vehicle. Modeling data are compared...
Previous game-theoretic studies of vaccination behavior typically have often assumed that populations are homogeneously mixed and that individuals are fully rational. In reality, there is heterogeneity in the number of contacts per individual, and individuals tend to imitate others who appear to have adopted successful strategies. Here, we use network-based...
This volume contains the papers accepted for the informal workshop on Knowledge Compilation and Speedup Learning held along with the Machine Learning Conference in Aberdeen Scotland. This workshop is a sequel to the first Knowledge Compilation workshop, which was organized by Jim Bennett, Tom Dieterich, and Jack Mostow in Otter...
Wireless technologies advance rapidly in the recent time. The maJor initiative is the realization of the third generation wireless network that provides high bandwidth access to digital data on the Internet. Moreover, recent improvements in computer and embedded systems have enabled portable devices with sufficiently high computing capability.
The combination...
Hydrate Ridge has the distinction of hosting the first documented subduction-driven cold seep system that supports chemosynthetic life by Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane as well as the most widely researched methane hydrate setting at any active continental margin. Today this site is a vital node of Northeast Pacific regional long-term...
