    GAN-Holo: Generative Adversarial Networks-Based Generated Holography Using Deep Learning
    with Aamir Khan, Zhang Zhijiang, Yingjie Yu, Ketao Yan, and Khizar Aziz
    Complexity 2021 1-7. 2021.
    Current development in a deep neural network has given an opportunity to a novel framework for the reconstruction of a holographic image and a phase recovery method with real-time performance. There are many deep learning-based techniques that have been proposed for the holographic image reconstruction, but these deep learning-based methods can still lack in performance, time complexity, accuracy, and real-time performance. Due to iterative calculation, the generation of a CGH requires a long co…Read more

    with Noor Mast, M. Irfan Uddin, Syed Atif Ali Shah, Atif Khan, Mahmoud Ahmad Al-Khasawneh, and Marwan Mahmoud
    Complexity 2021 1-10. 2021.
    With the development of wireless technology, two basic wireless network models that are commonly used, known as infrastructure and wireless ad hoc networks, have been developed. In the literature, it has been observed that channel contention is one of the main reasons for packet drop in WANETs. To handle this problem, this paper presents a routing protocol named CCBR. CCBR tries to determine a least contended path between the endpoints to increase packet delivery ratio and to reduce packet delay…Read more

    Given the dearth of research examining the distinctions across various facets of employee knowledge-hiding (KH) behaviors, there is little known about why and when leadership negatively influences playing dumb and evasive hiding but positively influences rationalized hiding. The present study fills this void by hypothesizing that employee justice orientation (JO) acts as a mediator of the associations of ethical leadership (EL) with different facets of employee KH behaviors. We also propose empl…Read more
