( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This work investigated the use of an ensemble deep random vector functional link (edRVFL) network for electroencephalogram (EEG)-based driver fatigue recognition. Against the low feature learning capability of the edRVFL ... -
An enhanced hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester using dual-mass system for vortex-induced vibrations
( SAGE Publications Inc. , 2021 , Article)This article proposes a novel hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic vortex-induced vibration energy harvester from flow of water inside of a pipe. The piezoelectric energy harvester was modeled with a macro-fiber composite ... -
An enhanced nonparametric EWMA sign control chart using sequential mechanism
( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Control charts play a significant role to monitor the performance of a process. Nonparametric control charts are helpful when the probability model of the process output is not known. In such cases, the sampling mechanism ... -
An enhanced performance IPT based battery charger for electric vehicles application
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)World-wide scientists/engineers were motivated to research in the area of renewable energy resources and to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Hence, electric and hybrid vehicles have won the attention of many researchers ... -
An enhanced public key infrastructure to secure smart grid wireless communication networks
(2014 , Article)It is expected that the smart grid will radically add new functionalities to legacy electrical power systems. However, we believe that this will in turn introduce many new security risks. With the smart grid's backbone ... -
An Enhancement of Compositional Stability of Phase Change Materials by Lamination with Aluminum Sheet
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)The wax leakage from shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) is a limitation because it reduces their functionality. In this work, an enhancement of the compositional stability of SSPCMs formed by high-density ... -
An Ensemble Learning Method Based on Random Subspace Sampling for Palmprint Identification
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)Palmprint recognition is an important and widely used biometric modality with high reliability, stability and user acceptability. In this paper we propose a simple and effective ensemble learning method for palmprint ... -
An ensemble neural network framework for improving the detection ability of a base control chart in non-parametric profile monitoring
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Profile monitoring is a challenging issue in statistical process control (SPC). It aims to use a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variable(s) to summarize the quality of a ... -
An environmental burden shifting approach to re-evaluate the environmental impacts of products
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Conference Paper)Life cycle assessment (LCA) can help enterprises evaluate their product's environmental impacts through the entire product life cycle (PLC). On the basis of the evaluation result, phases which need to take activities to ... -
An estimation of erinaceidae phylogeny: A combined analysis approach
( Public Library of Science , 2012 , Article)Background: Erinaceidae is a family of small mammals that include the spiny hedgehogs (Erinaceinae) and the silky-furred moonrats and gymnures (Galericinae). These animals are widely distributed across Eurasia and Africa, ... -
