    Novel Frequency-Domain Criterion for Elimination of Limit Cycles in a Class of Digital Filters With Single Saturation Nonlinearity
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Singh, Vimal
    A frequency-domain criterion for the elimination of limit cycles in a class of digital filters utilizing single saturation nonlinearity is presented. The criterion is derived by exploiting the structural properties of the system under consideration in a greater detail. A novel feature of the criterion is that it takes the form of a matrix inequality, despite the fact that there is single nonlinearity in the system. An example showing the effectiveness of the criterion is given. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Massive Mimo Systems for 5g: a Systematic Mapping Study on Antenna Design Challenges and Channel Estimation Open Issues
    (inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2021) Benzaghta, Mohamed; Rabie, Khaled M.
    The next generation of mobile networks (5G) is expected to achieve high data rates, reduce latency, as well as improve the spectral and energy efficiency of wireless communication systems. Several technologies are being explored to be used in 5G systems. One of the main promising technologies that is seen to be the enabler of 5G is massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems. Numerous studies have indicated the utility of mMIMO in upcoming wireless networks. However, there are several challenges that needs to be unravelled. In this paper, the latest progress of research on challenges in mMIMO systems is tracked, in the context of mutual coupling, antenna selection, pilot contamination and feedback overhead. The results of a systematic mapping study performed on 63 selected primary studies, published between the year 2017 till the second quarter of 2020, are presented. The main objective of this secondary study is to identify the challenges regarding antenna design and channel estimation, give an overview on the state-of-the-art solutions proposed in the literature, and finally, discuss emerging open research issues that need to be considered before the implementation of mMIMO systems in 5G networks.

    Fixed Point Theorems for a Class of Α-Admissible Contractions and Applications To Boundary Value Problem
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014) Alsulami, Hamed H.; Gulyaz, Selma; Karapinar, Erdal; Erhan, Inci M.
    A class of alpha-admissible contractions defined via altering distance functions is introduced. The existence and uniqueness conditions for fixed points of such maps on complete metric spaces are investigated and related fixed point theorems are presented. The results are reconsidered in the context of partially ordered metric spaces and applied to boundary value problems for differential equations with periodic boundary conditions.

    Design and Implementation of a Mobile Webcast Application With Google Analytics and Cloud Messaging Functionality
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019) Jonathan,O.; Misra,S.; Ibanga,E.; Maskeliunas,R.; Damasevicius,R.; Ahuja,R.
    Church cast is an application developed to bring the messages of ministries closer to their members by harnessing the Internet and mobile devices. Due to the very busy schedules of people and religious restrictions in some countries, people are not usually able to be physically present at their locations of worship to listen to or watch their ministers. Existing applications developed in the past like DOMI radio and Redemption TV Media were limited to only audio, poor and unintuitive user interfaces and not providing the administrator any interactions with the users of the application. In this work, we develop an Android-based application that makes it possible for users to watch live streams and on-demand videos from their ministries using their mobile devices. The application also incorporates sharing and analytics functionalities to enable users to share videos messages with loved ones and help the administrator monitor users' activities on the application respectively. The cloud messaging functionality enables the administrator to send messages such as announcements to user devices as push notifications. This would eventually increase user knowledge and interaction with the activities going on in their respective places of worship. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Fixed Points of Modified f-contractive Mappings in Complete Metric-Like Spaces
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2015) Alsulami, Hamed H.; Karapinar, Erdal; Piri, Hossein
    We introduce the notion of modified F-contractive mappings in the setting of complete metric-like spaces and we investigate the existence and uniqueness of fixed point of such mappings. The presented results unify, extend, and improve several results in the related literature.

    Synthesis and Characterization of New Dithienosilole Based Copolymers
    (Electrochemical Soc inc, 2016) Karabay, Lutfiye Canan; Al-Jumaili, Mohammed; Cihaner, Atilla
    2-Ethylhexyl substituted dithienosilole based soluble polymers including thiophene (1) and bithiophene (2) units were synthesized via Stille coupling reaction. The presence of 2-ethylhexyl substituents on the silole ring gave solubility property to the polymers in common solvents. According to gel permeation chromatography measurements, the weight average molecular weights of the polymers 1 and 2 were found to be as 70,977 with a polydispersity index of 2.30 and 110,439 with a PDI of 1.42, respectively. Fluorescent polymers in toluene solution have maximum emisssion bands at 634 nm for the polymer 1 and 613 nm for the polymer 2. Chemical and electrochemical doping of the polymers in the solution and in the film forms were monitored by using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic technique. The polymers exhibited chromic (chemochromic and electrochromic) properties. While the colors of the neutral polymer films are purple for the polymer 1 and reddish brown for the polymer 2, both polymers are transparent sky blue at their oxidized states. The bandgaps of polymers in film forms were calculated as 1.81 eV for the polymer 1 and 1.92 eV for the polymer 2. Also, electrochromic device applications of the polymers were done. Electrochemical and optical behaviors of the polymers demonstrated that they can be good candidates for optoelectronic applications. (C) 2016 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

    E-mentoring in global software development teams: Success factors to develop a common culture
    (IGI Global, 2013) Colomo-Palacios,R.; Mishra,A.; Casado-Lumbreras,C.; Soto-Acosta,P.
    Global Software Development (GSD) teams face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal, and cultural separation between team members. Cultural diversity and cross-cultural management are significant issues among GSD teams. In software development projects, mentoring dramatically reduces the learning curve for novice human resources. Due to the large amount of electronic communication instruments, a remarkable number of different e-Mentoring concepts have emerged, which provides opportunity for mentoring that would not otherwise be possible. This chapter presents key success factors to enable e-Mentoring as a tool to develop a common culture in GSD scenarios. These success factors enable the correct application of mentoring programmes and the use of this to build a common culture in organizations that perform GSD. © 2014, IGI Global.

    (De Gruyter, 2023) Jaddoa,N.; Sevinik-Adigüzel,R.; Erhan,I.M.
    In this chapter, the divided differences and cr-divided differences on time scales are introduced. The Newton and cr-Newton interpolation polynomial are constructed.

    Thermoluminescence Properties of Tl2ga2< Layered Single Crystals
    (Amer inst Physics, 2013) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Bulur, E.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The trap center(s) in Tl2Ga2S3Se single crystals has been investigated from thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in the temperature range of 10-300 K. Curve fitting, initial rise, and peak shape methods were applied to observed TL glow curve to evaluate the activation energy, capture cross section, and attempt-to-escape frequency of the trap center. One trapping center has been revealed with activation energy of 16 meV. Moreover, the characteristics of trap distribution have been studied using an experimental technique based on different illumination temperature. An increase of activation energy from 16 to 58 meV was revealed for the applied illumination temperature range of 10-25K. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
