In this work, gamma irradiation from a cobalt 60Co source was used to graft Copolymerize α-methyl styrene (AMS) onto Polyethersulfone (PES) films. Grafting reaction was performed at ambient temperature by simultaneous method applying different dose rates for a total absorbed dose of 30 kGy. The effects of reaction conditions including, dose rate, monomer concentration and absorbed dose on the

The popularity of wearable devices has grown as they improve the quality of life in many applications. In particular, for medical devices, energy harvesters are the dominating source of energy for wearable devices. However, their power budget is limited. Thus, power-saving techniques are essential components in the whole technology stack of those devices. That is, choosing the optimal schedule for

Water contamination with colours and heavy metals from textile effluents has harmed the ecology and food chain, with mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on human health. As a result, removing these harmful chemicals is critical for the environment and human health. Various standard physicochemical and biological treatment technologies are used; however, there are still some difficulties. Adsorption

Image security becomes important topic because of increasing image usage in communication besides assures information security which is unseen in these images such as military and medical images. Blowfish is a superb symmetric cryptography that ensures a high degree of resistance to attacks. The proposed system modifies Blowfish algorithm by substituting the function in blowfish round with light

Internet of Vehicles is considered one of the most unprecedented outputs of the Internet of Things. No one has realized or even expected the rapidly-growing revolution regarding autonomous connected vehicles. Nowadays, Internet of Vehicles is massively progressing from Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks as a huge futuristic research and development discipline. This paper proposes a novel reliable and

In-memory computing is an emerging computing paradigm that overcomes the limitations of exiting Von-Neumann computing architectures such as the memory-wall bottleneck. In such paradigm, the computations are performed directly on the data stored in the memory, which highly reduces the memory-processor communications during computation. Hence, significant speedup and energy savings could be achieved

This paper studies the capability of digital architecture to mimic fractal behavior. As chaotic attractors realized digitally had opened many tracks, digital designs mimicking fractals may ultimately achieve the same. This study is based on a complex single-dimensional discrete chaotic system known as the generalized positive logistic map. The fractals realized from this system are linked to the

This paper proposes a generic FPGA realization of an IP core for fractional-order integration and differentiation based on the Grünwald–Letnikov approximation. All fractional-order dependent terms are approximated to simpler relations using curve fitting to enable an efficient hardware realization. Compared to previous works, the proposed design introduces enhancements in the fractional-order

This paper proposes an algorithm and hardware realization of generalized chaotic systems using fractional calculus and rotation algorithms. Enhanced chaotic properties, flexibility, and controllability are achieved using fractional orders, a multi-scroll grid, a dynamic rotation angle(s) in two- and three-dimensional space, and translational parameters. The rotated system is successfully utilized

Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) is one of the most commonly used operations in modern computing systems due to its use in matrix multiplication, signal processing, and in new applications such as machine learning and deep neural networks. Ternary number system offers higher information processing within the same number of digits when compared to binary systems. In this paper, a MAC is proposed using a
