For an indoor non-directed line of sight optical wireless communication (NLOS-OWC) system we investigate the optimized Lambertian order (OLO) of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We firstly derive an expression for the OLO from a conventional Lambertian LED model. Then, we analyze the indoor multi-cell NLOS-OWC channel characteristics including the optical power distribution and the multipath time ...

This paper presents a method of cryptographic key distribution using an ‘artificially’ noisy channel. This is an important development because, while it is known that a noisy channel can be used to generate unconditional secrecy, there are many circumstances in which it is not possible to have a noisy information exchange, such as in error corrected communication stacks. It is shown that two le...

Thermal hydraulics of nuclear reactor as a basis of reactor safety has a very important role in reactor design and control. The thermal-hydraulic analysis provides input data to the reactor-physics analysis, whereas the latter gives information about the distribution of heat sources, which is needed to perform the thermal-hydraulic analysis. In this study single heated channel model as a very f...

The performance of corrugated baffles inserted in a rectangular channel heat exchanger is investigated. The fluid flows and thermal distribution are determined via numerical simulations. The working fluid has a shear thinning behavior. The influence of the baffle design is explored, we interest to the “wavy” shape. The corrugation angle of baffle (α) is changed from 0° (i.e. a straight...

In this paper, we propose a model to simulate a wireless fading channel based on Nakagami-m distribution with m>1. The Nakagami-m fading channel is the most generalized distribution as it can generate one-sided Gaussian distribution, Rayleigh distribution and Rician distribution for m equals to 0.5, 1 and >1 respectively. In this work we have proposed a method to generate a wireless fading chan...

water distribution method based on the type of water conduits can be divided into two groups, namely, open and closed systems, while on the basis of the energy of the water flow, the two groups are gravity flow and pressurized flow. open channel type conveyance and distribution is achieved by gravity and includes channels made by embankment construction, excavation, or construction of prefabric...

In this paper, the exponential B-spline functions are used for the numerical solution of the advection-diffusion equation. Two numerical examples related to pure advection in a finitely long channel and the distribution of an initial Gaussian pulse are employed to illustrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the method. Obtained results are compared with some early studies.

This note will look at ways of computing P(X>Y)where X is a distribution modeling survival (gamma, inverse gamma, Weibull, log-normal) and Y has a uniform distribution. Each of these can be computer in closed form in terms of common statistical functions. We begin with analytical calculations and then include software implementations in R to make some of the details more explicit. Finally, we g...

We improve a secret sharing scheme, which enables users select their personal keys by themselves instead of being distributed by group manager and users can reuse their personal keys no matter the shared secret is renewed or recovered. Then we apply it to design a self-healing key distribution scheme. The new scheme achieves good properties. Firstly, the scheme reduces storage overhead of perso...
