Prevention of gallium arsenide photocorrosion by an epoxy adhesion layer حسب Alqaradawi, Siham Y.

"…The room temperature electrical conductivity of the epoxy films increased from 10−8 to 10−4Ω−1cm−1 due to gold impregnation. Enhancement of the photocurrent due to gold impregnation is attributed due to better conduction of the photogenerated holes into the electrolyte, also due to activating the adsorption of electrolyte ions.Several parameters are studied with the objective of determining the stability of epoxy films: these are continuous current–voltage (I–E) scans, prolonged illumination, weight changes and surface topography by scanning electron microscopy. …"

Joint coding for proactive caching with changing file popularities حسب Amir M.

"…We show that proactively and constantly updating the MU finite caches and jointly encoding the delivery of different demanded files to the MUs over different time slots minimize the delivery sum rate. We propose two different schemes for a two different scenarios, where the file popularities over time can be either arbitrary increasing or decreasing for the first scheme and decreases with demand for the second scheme. …"
