Linear parameter-varying control of a copolymerization reactor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper demonstrates the application of the linear parameter-varying (LPV) framework to control a copolymerization reactor. An LPV model representation is first developed for a nonlinear model of the process. The LPV ...
Progressive recovery for cloud-based infrastructure services
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Cloud-based services allow users to outsource their application and infrastructure needs over external datacenter/ networking facilities. However, as these offerings gain traction, there is a pressing need to address ...
A novel two-step metal oxide - Metal sulfate water splitting cycle for the production of solar hydrogen
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of solar H2 production via two-step thermochemical Strontium oxide - Strontium Sulfate (SO-SS) water splitting cycle. The first step belongs to the exothermic oxidation of SrO ...
Remarkable improvement in properties of NI-B coatings by the addition of mixed oxide nanoparticles
(
Association for Iron and Steel Technology, AISTECH
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
A comparison of properties of Ni-B and Ni-B-ZrO2-Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings synthesized through electrodeposition process is presented to elucidate the beneficial role of addition of mixed nanoparticles of ZrO2 and Al2O3 ...
CO2 capture using aqueous ethylaminoethanol: Study of oxidative degradation
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports oxidative degradation of various aqueous solutions of alkanolamines as an effort to find a suitable replacement for monoethanolamine (MEA). Diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), methyl diethanolamine ...
Power allocation analysis for dynamic power utility in cognitive radio systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The focus of this paper is to investigate the fundamental limits of power allocation when taking into account a dynamic power pricing scheme. This paper proposes an optimal power allocation analysis for wireless systems ...
Online assignment and placement of cloud task requests with heterogeneous requirements
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Managing cloud resources in a way that reduces the consumed energy while also meeting clients demands is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an energy-aware resource allocation framework that: i) places the ...
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ...
A light lexicon-based mobile application for sentiment mining of arabic tweets
(
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Most advanced mobile applications require server-based and communication. This often causes additional energy consumption on the already energy-limited mobile devices. In this work, we provide to address these limitations ...
