An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...

one of the bio-sensing mechanisms is mechanical. rather than measuring shift in resonance frequency, we adopt to measure the change in spring constant due to adsorption, as one of the fundamental sensing mechanism. this study explains  determination of spring constant of a surface functionalized micro machined micro cantilever, which resonates in a trapezoidal cavity-on silicon wafer, with the ...

This research aims at developing a highly efficient yet accurate computation framework for simulation and prediction of wave and wind coupled motions with wave phases being resolved, which will lead to an advanced data assimilation tool to provide more comprehensive environmental input for naval applications. Our ultimate goal is to pave the way for developing an operational tool for the Navy t...

This paper addresses a cyclostationarity-based spectrum sensing scheme for cognitive radios in dynamic primary user (PU) traffic environments where the PU might randomly depart or arrive during the sensing period. At first, the spectrum sensing problem in dynamic PU traffic environments is formulated as a binary hypothesis testing problem. Then, a test statistic for spectrum sensing is derived ...

Fast and efficient spectrum sensing is vital for multiradio multi-channel cognitive radio (CR) networks where unlicensed secondary users (SUs) have to sense and opportunistically transmit on multiple spectrum bands without causing any harmful interference to the licensed primary users (PUs) of those spectrum bands. Accordingly, this paper presents a smart, practical and efficient wideband spect...

Proliferating Mobile Crowdsensing Systems (MCSs) is a promising paradigm to realize large-scale sensing targets in an agile and economical manner. Privacy protection mechanisms, which alleviate mobile user’s concern on participating MCS tasks, also introduce the issue of data quality to the MCS server. In privacy-preserving MCSs, dishonest reporting of mobile sensing data from task participants...

For cognitive radio networks, there is a major spectrum sensing problem, i.e. dynamic spectrum management. It is an important issue to sense and identify the spectrum holes in cognitive radio networks. The first-order derivative scheme is usually used to detect the edge of the spectrum. In this paper, a novel spectrum sensing technique for cognitive radio is presented. The proposed algorithm of...
