In this letter, we propose the use of the newly developed corrugated quantum well infrared photodetectors ~C-QWIPs! for polarization detection. The corrugated structure, which serves as an optical coupler as well as the polarization-sensitive component, is in this case directly created into the active region of the QWIP, therefore dispensed with the need of an external polarizer. Moreover, four...

In the fresh produce industry, corrugated containers must be made to provide adequate protection throughout the product life cycle. In response to increasing materials costs in the corrugated industry, companies are focusing upon developing more efficient packaging designs. The scope of this project focuses on presenting alternative corrugated packaging designs for the fresh produce industry. I...

Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a promising technology for wireless due to its advantages of the vast optical spectrum, high energy efficiency, and no electromagnetic interference radiation. With widespread adoption LED infrastructure camera-equipped smart devices, camera (OCC) gained momentum pragmatic version VLC based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices. Compared with...

The steel frame reinforced with steel shear wall is a lateral load resisting system and has higher strength and shear performance than the concrete shear wall system. Especially, using corrugated steel plates in these shear wall systems improves out-of-plane stiffness and flexibility in the deformation along the corrugation. In this paper, a cyclic loading test of this steel frame reinforced wi...

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) expects a bank to practice effective risk management regardless of whether the bank performs the activity internally or through a third party. A bank’s use of third parties does not diminish the responsibility of its board of directors and senior management to ensure that the activity is performed in a safe and sound manner and in compliance w...

This work proposes using the changes in LEDs' spectral emission induced by temperature variations to implement emitters for new communication channels Optical Camera Communication (OCC) systems. If a camera can discriminate shift response, these modifications be contemplated as data channel. The main advantage is that obtained from same physical optical emitter device, only are needed. Thus, th...

Purpose Given the important role of change capability for organizational development and competitive advantage, purpose this study is to clarify influences transformational leadership (TL) on (OCC) via mediating roles two specific aspects trust in namely disclosure-based reliance-based trust. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling applied test degree TL employee OCC empirical ...

Metaboreceptor activation during passive heating is known to influence cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) and sweat rate (SR). However, whether metaboreceptors modulate the suppression of heat loss following dynamic exercise remains unclear. On separate days, before and after 15 min of high-intensity treadmill running in the heat (35°C), eight males underwent either 1) no isometric handgrip e...

The system of steel shear wall is an initiative resistance system against the lateral load such as an earthquake and the wind that has been researched in the last three decades. Currently, this system is noticed more than other systems because of adequate stiffness, ductility, and more energy absorption. The system of steel shear wall with corrugated sheets has been offered as an innovative sys...
