Fingerprint crowdsourcing has recently been promoted as a promising solution for fingerprinting-based indoor localization systems to relieve the burden of site survey.When constructing an indoor localization map from crowd-sourced samples, the following challenges should be addressed: inaccurate sample annotation, unequal sample dimensionality, mea
One of the failure mechanisms associated with asphalt paving layers, especially on steel deck bridges, is large permanent deformation, which adversely affects its long-term performance in service.Thus, epoxy resin was introduced in asphalt paving industry to tackle permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures due to its thermosetting nature.In this re
Creation of knowledge HOLDERS through understanding is a perpetual process for humanity.Our understanding grows through application of logic and scientific methodology which form the basis of research.The endowment of intellectual ability has empowered humans to adopt this course to keep on generating better and deeper understanding of our existent
Group IV photonics hold great potential for nonlinear applications in the near- and mid-infrared (IR) wavelength ranges, exhibiting strong nonlinearities in bulk materials, high index contrast, CMOS compatibility, and cost-effectiveness.In this paper, we review our recent numerical work on various types of silicon and germanium waveguides for octav
Intertidal wetlands such Cable Assembly as mangrove and saltmarsh are increasingly susceptible to areal losses related to sea level rise.This exposure is potentially offset by processes that might enable wetlands to accrete in situ or migrate landward under sea level rise, and planning policies that might open new opportunities for migration.We pre
