Sharing between commercial and Federal incumbent users, such as in the 3.5 GHz band, is expected to increase the availability of spectrum for wireless broadband...
Supply chain management is critically dependent on trusted email with authentication systems that work on a global scale. Solutions to date have not adequately...
We investigate the role of the electric field and its normal derivative in three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering theory. In particular, we present an...
The ferromagnetic Ising model with zero applied field reduces to sampling even subgraphs X of a graph G with probability proportional to $\lambda^|E(X)|}$, for...
Cloud computing has undergone rapid expansion throughout the last decade. Many companies and organizations have made the transition from traditional data...
IEEE 802.15.6 is a radio interface standard for a wireless connectivity of wearable and implantable sensors and actuators located inside or in close proximity...
