Polyurethane (PU) is a unique polymer that has versatile processing methods and mechanical properties upon the inclusion of selected additives. In this study, freestanding bio-based polyurethane film screen-printed electrode (SPE) was prepared by solution casting technique, using acetone as solvent. It one-pot synthesis between major reactants, namely, palm kernel oil-based polyol 4,4-methylene...

In this project, we have attempted to develop a new technique utilizing Boron-doped diamond (BDD) films to electrochemically detect mercury dissolved in solution via the initial deposition of metallic mercury, followed by anodic linear sweep voltammetry in the range from 1010 M to 10 M. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques were employed. The extremely low ...

harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. the widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. this paper employs an extended harmonic domain (ehd) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...

We present an OFDM frequency synchronization scheme. This paper presents an extended solution for the carrier frequency synchronization problem of OFDM. The scheme uses number of bits, modulation level, cyclic prefix, FFT size similarly to the algorithm proposed by Tilde Fusco [21].The proposed scheme attains considerably higher accuracy than the scheme by [21] requiring convolutional encoding ...

A method for the calculation of the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) by means of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is presented. The process involves mainly two FFT's in cascade; thus the process has the same complexity as this algorithm. The method is valid for fractional orders varying from -1 to 1. Scaling factors for the FRT and Fresnel diffraction when calculated through the FFT...

In this contribution we first derive the correlation coefficient of two subcarriers in multicarrier systems using cyclic-prefixing (CP) for inter-symbol interference (ISI) suppression and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT)/fast Fourier transform (FFT) for multicarrier modulation/demodulation. It can be shown that two subcarriers spaced far away may experience highly correlated fading. Then, ...

Suppose we have a function s(t) that measures the sound level at time t of an analog audio signal. We assume that s(t) is piecewise-continuous and of finite duration: s(t) = 0 when t is outside some interval a ≤ t ≤ b. Make a change of variable x = (t− a)/(b− a) and set f(x) = s(t). Then 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 when a ≤ t ≤ b, and f(x) is a piecewise continuous function of x. We convert f(x) into a digital s...

We investigate qualitative properties of local solutions u(t, x) ≥ 0 to the fast diffusion equation, ∂tu = ∆(u )/m with m < 1, corresponding to general nonnegative initial data. Our main results are quantitative positivity and boundedness estimates for locally defined solutions. They combine into forms of new Harnack inequalities that are typical of fast diffusion equations. Such results are ne...

A method is described to generate collisions for the hash function FFT-Hash that was presented by Claus Schnorr at Crypto '91. A set of colliding messages is given that was obtained by this method.
