In this paper, the electromagnetic susceptibility of electro-explosive devices (EEDs) including their connection wires is assessed statistically. The electromagnetic coupling and the thermal power dissipation are modeled to determine the activation conditi ...
We investigate how the network connectivity can affect the degrees of freedom (DoF) of wireless networks. We consider a network of n source-destination (SD) pairs and assume that any two nodes are connected with a positive probability p, independent of oth ...
A bottom-up modelling approach together with a set of calibration methodologies is presented to predict residential building occupants' time-dependent activities, for use in dynamic building simulations. The stochastic model to predict activity chains is c ...
Cooperative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to attacks from malicious nodes, especially when collusion occurs. In this paper, we analyze the effect of colluded statistical attacks and show that collusion could cause performance degradation in terms of both ...
In this paper, we study the redundancy of Huffman codes. In particular, we consider sources for which the probability of one of the source symbols is known. We prove a conjecture of Ye and Yeung regarding the upper bound on the redundancy of such Huffman c ...
Aim We investigate the long-standing question of whether the small size of microbes allows most microbial species to colonize all suitable sites around the globe or whether their ranges are limited by opportunities for dispersal. In this study we use a mod ...
The establishment of climate-based daylight modeling within research and practice has led to a fundamental reassessment of both the basis and purpose of daylight metrics. Whilst there is no consensus yet on the precise nature of the metric(s) that should r ...
Let r : S x S -> R+ be the jump rates of an irreducible random walk on a finite set S, reversible with respect to some probability measure m. For alpha > 1, let g : N -> R+ be given by g(0) = 0, g(1) = 1, g(k) = (k/k - 1)(alpha), k >= 2. Consider a zero ra ...
Are some banks prone to perform poorly during crises? If yes, why? In this paper, we show that a bank's stock return performance during the 1998 crisis predicts its stock return performance and probability of failure during the recent financial crisis. Thi ...
At ACM~CCS 2008, Rasmussen and Capkun introduced a distance-bounding protocol RC07 (henceforth RC protocol) where the prover and verifier use simultaneous transmissions and the verifier counts the delay between sending a challenge (starting with a hidden m ...
