The hierarchy of authority based on kinship, age, and gender in the extended family in the Arab gulf states
(
William S. Hein & Co., Inc
, 2013 , Article)
Almost all aspects of life in the Arab Gulf States, including family, have been touched by rapid, unstoppable social change. Nevertheless, certain aspects of the family remain intact. That is, although the nuclear family ...
On the statistical distribution of electric field inside jet engines
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Using full wave analysis in 'Ansys HFSS', we obtain the electric field distribution inside a jet engine containing one set of 24 blades due to the excitation provided by a simple Hertzian dipole. Hertzian dipole illuminates ...
Impact of location heterogeneity on random walk mobility models
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates random walk mobility models with location heterogeneity, where different locations may have different neighboring regions.With the assumption of totally n locations, we consider two cases, i.e., ...
Transmit and receive cooperative cognition: Protocol design and stability analysis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate the stability of a cooperative cognitive system. We propose a cooperative secondary transmitter-receiver system (CSTR), where, the secondary transmitter (ST) and the secondary receiver (SR) ...
Real-time optical character recognition on field programmable gate array for automatic number plate recognition system
(2013 , Article)
The last main stage in an automatic number plate recognition system (ANPRs) is optical character recognition (OCR), where the number plate characters on the number plate image are converted into encoded texts. In this ...
A robust method for line and word segmentation in handwritten text
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Line and word segmentation is a key-step in any document image analysis system. It can be used for instance in handwriting recognition when separating words before their recognition. Line segmentation can also serve as a ...
Multiple-model based sensor fault diagnosis using hybrid kalman filter approach for nonlinear gas turbine engines
(
2013 1st American Control Conference, ACC 2013
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an efficient sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) strategy is proposed based on multiple-model (MM) approach. The scheme is composed of hybrid kalman filters (HKF) by integrating a nonlinear gas turbine ...
A new five-phase to three-phase back-to-back current source converter based wind energy conversion system
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources. The increased penetration of wind power into the utility grid brings challenges such as voltage and frequency fluctuations, generator torque ripples, and ...
Matlab/Simulink implementation & simulation of islanding detection using passive methods
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The extensive use of Distributed Generators in Electrical and power systems made it a must to explore its functionality and the issues related to their connection to the grid. One of the main issues is unintentional ...
PCA IP-core for gas applications on the heterogenous zynq platform
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Principal component analysis (PCA) is a commonly used technique for data reduction in general as well as for dimensionality reduction in gas identification systems when a sensor array is being used. This paper presents the ...
