ESTIMATION OF ROAD WETNESS FROM A PASSENGER CAR

Estimation of Road Wetness from a Passenger Car

This paper presents an evaluation of a system aiming at estimating water depths on a road surface.Using accelerometers, the system records the vibrations of a wheel arch liner due to impacts of water droplets.The system setup, including the location of the accelerometers on a wheel arch and the data acquisition, is described.Tests were performed wi

Admixture of evolutionary rates across a butterfly hybrid zone

Hybridization is a major evolutionary force that can erode genetic differentiation between species, whereas reproductive isolation maintains such differentiation.In studying a hybrid zone between the swallowtail butterflies Underwater Camera Papilio syfanius and Papilio maackii (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), we made the unexpected discovery that geno

NOMA-Assisted Multiple Access Scheme for IoT Deployment: Relay Selection Model and Secrecy Performance Improvement

In this paper, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) system containing a relay selection is studied as employing an emerging multiple access scheme, namely non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA).This paper proposes a Banger Holders new scheme to consider secure performance, to be called relay selection NOMA (RS-NOMA).In particular, we consider metrics to eval
