Multiple-view time-frequency distribution based on the empirical mode decomposition
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2010 , Article)
This study proposes a novel, composite time-frequency distribution (TFD) constructed using a multiple-view approach. This composite TFD utilises the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) ...
On the group proportional fairness of frequency domain resource allocation in L-SC-FDMA based LTE uplink
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Localized single carrier frequency division multiple access (L-SC-FDMA) has been selected as the uplink transmission scheme in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) due to its low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) over OFDMA in ...
Real-time traffic surveillance using ZigBee
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes the design, implementation, and analysis of a proof-of-concept prototype of a traffic surveillance system. The system employs an in-vehicle device for collecting real-time traffic data. The device uses ...
Competition in the Jordanian's Banking Sector
(
EuroJournals, Inc.
, 2010 , Article)
This study investigates the cost of financial intermediation in the banking sector of Jordan over the 2001-2008 period. It assesses to what extent the relatively high and escalating bank interest margins, in this sector, ...
Preliminay test estimation in the two parameter exponential distribution based on record values
(2010 , Article)
We considered estimation of the parameters of the exponential distribution based on record data in the presence of prior information. Preliminary test and shrinkage estimators are developed and their properties are ...
Faculty salary equity in the College of Arts and Sciences at a regional mid-western university: an exploratory study
(
International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines
, 2010 , Article)
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were salary inequities between male and female faculty members in the School of Arts and Sciences at a regional public university. An analysis-of-covariance (ANCOVA) model ...
Blind Deconvolution for retinal image enhancement
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging. One of the main steps in inspecting the eye (especially the deeper image of retina) is to look into the eye using a ...
Identifying crack parameters in slow rotating machinery using vibration measurements and hybrid neuro-particle swarm technique
(2010 , Conference Paper)
Low-cycle fatigue-initiated cracks may result in failure in slow-rotating equipments. Online monitoring to identify such fault/crack parameters, namely crack size and crack location, would be critical in providing an early ...
Effect of gamma irradiation on the microstructure and morphology of polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol blends
(
Trans Tech Publications
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Thin films of a blend of 90, 75, 50 (wt/wt%) percentage of polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol were synthesized and irradiated with 5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 kGy. The presence of PVA leads to diffusion controlled mechanism ...
Fundamental group and cycle space of dual graphs and applications
(
Elsevier
, 2010 , Article)
In this work, we study the fundamental group of dual graph of a planar graph. Moreover, we show that a planar graph G has no cut vertex if and only if N(Π(D(G))) = N(Π(D(G − v))) − 1 for any v ∈ V(G). Some applications ...
