An H-Bridge Modular DC-DC Converter with Bidirectional Flyback-Based Energy Equalization Modules
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Conventional Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is a promising candidate in high-voltage high-power applications. Unfortunately, operating the conventional MMC with DC output voltage results in unbalanced capacitors' ...
Short survey of techniques for visualizing events recorded in logs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Nowadays, data is being generated in large volumes and the users are left with a staggering amount of textual data that needs to be transformed into information to derive some knowledge from it. However, transforming and ...
Multi-tasking for cost-efficient mobile crowdsensing under uniformity constraints
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In a practical Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) system, there usually exist multiple heterogeneous MCS tasks, each with a different set of requirements for completion. The coexistence of these MCS tasks presents a need to study ...

Results from Lebanon's 2018 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth
(
Human Kinetics
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The prevalence of childhood obesity in Lebanon nearly doubled between 1997 and 2009.1 This shift in population health is extremely alarming, given that obesity is associated with a host of chronic diseases (eg, cardiovascular ...
Harmonics minimization in 3-level inverter waveform and its FPGA realization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The multilevel inverter (MLI) is more preferred for medium voltage high power application as it produces better quality voltage waveforms (stepped in nature) with reduced harmonic distortion (less THD), operates at less ...
Screening of surfactants and polymers for high temperature high salinity carbonate reservoirs
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Carbonate reservoirs typically exhibit significant heterogeneity, high temperature and high salinit ies. Surfactant and polymer selection for such reservoirs is a challenging process where extensive laboratory investigations ...
