Guided vehicles (GVs) are commonly used for the internal transportation of loads in warehouses, production plants and terminals. These guided vehicles can be routed with a variety of vehicle dispatching rules in an attempt to meet performance criteria such as minimizing the average load wa ...
Abstract—In the future communication applications, users
may obtain their messages that have different importance levels
distributively from several available sources, such as distributed
storage or even devices belonging to other users. This
scenario is the best modeled by the multilevel diversity ...
I saw the light of the future when I first read Ray Kurzweil’s best-seller book The
Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. One cubic inch of nanotube cir-
cuitry, once fully developed, would be up to one hundred million times more powerful
than the human brain.
Without conceding a blemish in the first edition, I think I had best come clean
and admit that I embarked on a second edition largely to adopt a more geometric
approach to the detection of signals in white Gaussian noise. Equally rigorous, yet
more intuitive, this approach is not only student-friend ...

As a student I did my best to avoid text books – a strange statement for a Professor to make and one that
I should clarify before you put this book down; I did my best to avoid text books that did not help me.
Recent advancements in nanotechnology (NT) materials and growth of micro/
nanotechnology have opened the door for potential applications of microelectro-
mechanical systems (MEMS)- and NT-based sensors and devices. Such sensors and
devices are best suited for communications, medical diagnosis, comme ...
The term “ smart grid ” defi nes a self - healing network equipped with dynamic optimiza-
tion techniques that use real - time measurements to minimize network losses, maintain
voltage levels, increase reliability, and improve asset management. The operational data
collected by the smart grid and ...
It all started rather innocuously. I walked into Dr GT Murthy’s office one fine day, andchanged my life. “Doc” was then the General Manager, Central R&D, of a very largeelectrical company headquartered in Bombay. In his new state-of-the-art electronics center,he had hand-picked some of India’s b ...
