Calculating Level Densities of Heavy Nuclei by the Shell Model Monte Carlo Method
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2014) Alhassid, Yoram; Özen, Cem; Nakada, Hitoshi
The microscopic calculation of nuclear level densities in the presence of correlations is a difficult many-body problem. The shell model Monte Carlo method provides a powerful technique to carry out such calculations using the framework of the configuration-interaction shell model in spaces that are many orders of magnitude larger than spaces that can be treated by conventional methods. We present recent applications of the method to the calculation of level densities and their collective enhancement factors in heavy nuclei. The calculated level densities are in close agreement with experimental data.

Electrical and Optical Percolations of Polystyrene Latex-Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2010) Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan; Dolastir, Fahrettin; Pekcan, Önder
Electrical conductivity and optical transmittance properties of polystyrene (PS)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite films were investigated. Composite films were prepared by mixing of various mass fractions of MWCNT in PS-water dispersions. After water evaporates powder composite films were annealed at 175 degrees C above the glass transition of PS for 20 min. Photon transmission and two point probe resistivity techniques were employed to determine the variations of the optical and the electrical properties of composites. Transmitted light intensity I(tr) and surface resistivity R(s) were monitored as a function of MWCNT mass fraction (M). It was observed that both the surface resistivity and the optical transparency were decreased by increasing the amount of MWCNT added to the polymeric system. Conductivity and optical results were interpreted according to the classical and site percolation theory respectively. The electrical (sigma) and the optical (op) percolation threshold values and critical exponents were calculated as M(sigma) = 1.8 wt.% M(op) = 0-0.13 wt.% and beta(sigma) = 2.25 beta(op) = 0.32 respectively.

Exploiting Heterogeneous Parallelism With the Heterogeneous Programming Library
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2013) Vinas, Moises; Bozkuş, Zeki; Fraguela, Basilio B.
While recognition of the advantages of heterogeneous computing is steadily growing the issues of programmability and portability hinder its exploitation. The introduction of the OpenCL standard was a major step forward in that it provides code portability but its interface is even more complex than that of other approaches. In this paper we present the Heterogeneous Programming Library (HPL) which permits the development of heterogeneous applications addressing both portability and programmability while not sacrificing high performance. This is achieved by means of an embedded language and data types provided by the library with which generic computations to be run in heterogeneous devices can be expressed. A comparison in terms of programmability and performance with OpenCL shows that both approaches offer very similar performance while outlining the programmability advantages of HPL.

On Channel Estimation for Spatial Modulated Systems Over Time-Varying Channels
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2015) Acar, Yusuf; Doğan, Hakan; Panayırcı, Erdal
Spatial Modulation (SM) has been proposed recently for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to cope with the interchannel interference and to reduce the detection complexity as compared to the conventional MIMO systems. In SM system the data symbols are transmitted by a randomly selected active antenna of a MIMO transmitter to the receiver through a wireless channel. The information is carried both by the data symbol from any signal constellation such as M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) or M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) by the index of the selected antenna. The channel estimation is a critical process at the receiver during the coherent detection of the transmitted symbol and the antenna index randomly selected. Recently the channel estimation of channel for SM systems has been investigated by the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm for only quasi-static fading channels. In this paper a novel channel estimation is proposed for SM systems in the presence of rapidly time-varying channels. The Bayesian mean square error (MSE) bound has been derived as a benchmark and the performance of the proposed approaches is studied in terms of MSE and bit-error rate (BER). Computer simulation results have confirmed that the proposed iterative channel estimation technique has significant BER/MSE performance advantages compared with existing channel estimation algorithm proposed earlier in the literature.
