A Mechanistic Model for Wellbore Cleanout in Horizontal and Inclined Wells
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The accumulation of rock cuttings, proppant, and other solid debris in the wellbore caused by inadequate cleanout remarkably impedes field operations. The cuttings removal process becomes a more challenging task as the ...
SELF-ORGANIZED RESIDUAL BLOCKS FOR IMAGE SUPER-RESOLUTION
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
It has become a standard practice to use the convolutional networks (ConvNet) with RELU non-linearity in image restoration and super-resolution (SR). Although the universal approximation theorem states that a multi-layer ...
SELF-ORGANIZED VARIATIONAL AUTOENCODERS (SELF-VAE) FOR LEARNED IMAGE COMPRESSION
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
In end-to-end optimized learned image compression, it is standard practice to use a convolutional variational autoencoder with generalized divisive normalization (GDN) to transform images into a latent space. Recently, ...
BM3D VS 2-LAYER ONN
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Despite their recent success on image denoising, the need for deep and complex architectures still hinders the practical usage of CNNs. Older but computationally more efficient methods such as BM3D remain a popular choice, ...
A Cost-Effective Immersive Telexistence Platform for Generic Telemanipulation Tasks
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Robots are expected to become an essential part in tackling the global corona virus pandemic. However, acquiring robotic technology in economically-challenged nations is very difficult for a variety of factors. This work ...
Virtual reality for rich interaction with cultural heritage sites
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Archaeological sites represent an important dimension of history and civilization. The aim of this work is to is to document the heritage buildings as part of a preservation process of the heritage environment by creating ...
Evaluating the use of visual prompts in online meeting applications for kindergarteners
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The use of online meeting applications for educational purpose, has increased during pandemic. These meeting applications mostly use textual prompts as a way of communicating with the user, which might not be suitable for ...
User Scheduling in Federated Learning over Energy Harvesting Wireless Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the deployment of federated learning (FL) is investigated in an energy harvesting wireless network in which the base station (BS) is equipped with a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system and ...
Friction and wear response of a hard-anodized aa6082
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The properties of anodized aluminum, and wear resistance in particular, are of high interest for the scientific community. In this study, discs of AA6082 were subjected to a peculiar hard anodizing process leading to ...
