Identification of individual types of harmonic loads in an electric power system-bus
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Some buses in a power system feed power to loads that are sources of harmonics. This type of bus is called a complex-bus. This paper provides a new application of the constrained least absolute value algorithm (LAV) to ...
Treatment of waters colored with methylene blue dye by vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Textile industries consume large amounts of water and generate highly dye-contaminated effluents. Textile wastewaters have to be treated in order to be recycled in the process or to meet legislative requirements before ...
Desalination using ambient air: simulation and energy optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This work applies to process design, simulation, analysis, and optimization to minimize the energy requirements for producing desalinated water using ambient air (humidification and dehumidification process). The only ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Aquifer storage and recovery was evaluated as a strategic water storage facility and as a tool to reduce overallcost of water production. This work investigated the size, cost, and mode of operation required to run the ...
A performance study of dual-hop transmissions with fixed gain relays
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Article)
This letter presents a study on the end-to-end performance of dual-hop wireless communication systems equipped with nonregenerative fixed gain relays and operating over flat Rayleigh-fading channels. More specifically, it ...
Neural network model-based predictive control of liquid–liquid extraction contactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2004 , Article)
The inherent complex nonlinear dynamic characteristics and time varying transients of the liquid–liquid extraction process draw the attention to the application of nonlinear control techniques. In this work, neural ...
