Flow mapping of multiphase flows using a novel single stem endoscopic particle image velocimetry instrument
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a successful flow mapping technique which can optically quantify large portions of a flow regime. This enables the method to be completely non-intrusive. The ability to be non-intrusive ...
Cloud computing without seeing
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In the emerging cloud computing model, security is of paramount concern. This paper discusses the need for practical techniques that enable private outsourcing on the cloud by allowing the service provider to work on ...
Evaluating greywater and A/C condensate daily volume and water quality in urban settings
(
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Due to increasing water demand as a result of population growth and improvement in living standards, many countries with arid climate are already facing water shortages that are being met by expensive desalination projects. ...
Adaptive and unequal probability survey designs for environmental management
(
The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Designing an efficient large-area survey is a challenge, especially in environmental science when many populations are rare and clustered. Adaptive and unequal probability sampling designs are appealing when populations ...
The Non-petroleum large scale industries in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC)
(
Association of American Geographers
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Since the early 1970s, the GCC countries have adopted the industrial development strategy as a way to achieve the economic diversification instead of depending on the oil and gas exporting; the main source of their revenues. ...
Iterative blocking artefact reduction based on local contrast information
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Block based transform coding is the most popular
technique for image and video compression. However, images
compressed using block based algorithms exhibit highly visible
blocking artifacts. We propose an iterative ...
Joint interference cancellation and dirty paper coding for cognitive cellular networks
(2011 , Conference Paper)
Downlink communication in a cellular network with a cognitive (secondary) cell is considered. In our model, the base station of the cognitive cell knows the messages of the other cell non-causally. We propose a new ...
Advanced packet scheduling for efficient video support with limited channel feedback on MIMO LTE downlink
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Next-generation mobile networks will provide users with high data rates, increased mobility and various services. The initial step made in LTE and LTE-A is adopting the OFDM(A) air interface and utilization of dynamic ...
Accelerometer-based fetal movement detection
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring fetal wellbeing is a compelling problem in modern obstetrics. Clinicians have become increasingly aware of the link between fetal activity (movement), well-being, and later developmental outcome. We have recently ...
Time-frequency signal and image processing of non-stationary signals with application to the classification of newborn EEG abnormalities
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an introduction to time-frequency (T-F) methods in signal processing, and a novel approach for EEG abnormalities detection and classification based on a combination of signal related features and image ...
