Examining the impact of E-supply chain on service quality and customer satisfaction: a case study
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020-09-08)Purpose The purposes of this study are to introduce the concept of service quality (SQ) in E-Supply chain management (E-SCM) and its impact on increasing customer satisfaction (CS) and provide insightful enhancements to ... -
An experimental evaluation on deepfake detection using deep face recognition
(IEEE, 2021-10-11)Significant advances in deep learning have obtained hallmark accuracy rates for various computer vision applications. However, advances in deep generative models have also led to the generation of very realistic fake ... -
Function computation without secure links: Information and leakage rates
(IEEE, 2022-06-26)Consider L users, who each holds private data, and one fusion center who must compute a function of the private data of the L users. To accomplish this task, each user can make a single use of a public and noiseless broadcast ... -
Investigating fairness of ocular biometrics among young, middle-aged, and older adults
(IEEE, 2021-10-11)A number of studies suggest bias of the face biometrics, i.e., face recognition and soft-biometric estimation methods, across gender, race, and age-groups. There is a recent urge to investigate the bias of different biometric ... -
Progress in bioactive surface coatings on biodegradable Mg alloys: A critical review towards clinical translation
(Elsevier B.V. on behalf of KeAi Communications Co. Ltd., 2022-05-15)Mg and its alloys evince strong candidature for biodegradable bone implants, cardiovascular stents, and wound closing devices. However, their rapid degradation rate causes premature implant failure, constraining clinical ... -
Quantifying the cost of privately storing data in distributed storage systems
(IEEE, 2022-07-01)Consider a user who wishes to store a file in multiple servers such that at least t servers are needed to reconstruct the files, and z colluding servers cannot learn any information about the file. Unlike traditional models, ... -

Short blocklength wiretap channel codes via deep learning: Design and performance evaluation
(IEEE, 2023-01-18)We design short blocklength codes for the Gaussian wiretap channel under information-theoretic security guarantees. Our approach consists in decoupling the reliability and secrecy constraints in our code design. Specifically, ... -
Sound absorption and transmission loss properties of open-celled aluminum foams with stepwise relative density gradients
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-05-01)We investigate the acoustical properties of uncompressed and compressed open-celled aluminum metal foams fabricated using a directional solidification foaming process. We compressed the fabricated foams using a hydraulic ...
