Review of existing transportation sustainability initiatives and their applicability to Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Sustainable development is Qatar's main national goal. The fact that Qatar has secured the World Cup bid for 2022 will make it the first Arab country to host the world cup. This honor and Qatar's plan to advance its ...
Developing a framework for pre-design process simulation for green buildings
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
There is an increasing awareness towards the construction of sustainable green buildings. Green rating systems worldwide, such as LEED, are providing standards to aid in the construction of green building. During the ...
On the joint scheduling and intra-cell interference coordination in multi-relay LTE uplink
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The relay-assisted Long Term Evaluation (LTE) cellular system is one of the most promising technologies to enhance the throughput and coverage of the access network. Injection of relays in a cell opens many issues of ...
LingoSnacks: M-Learning platform for language learning
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the experience of designing and developing a multimedia m-Learning platform (named LingoSnacks) for interactive learning of Arabic spelling and vocabulary. It uses interactive game-like delivery methods ...
Fault ride-through capability enhancement based on flywheel energy storage system for wind farms connected via VSC high voltage DC transmission
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a recovery strategy for wind energy-fed voltage source converter high voltage DC transmission systems, capable of maintaining power balance between the AC and DC sides during different AC faults. This ...
Output-feedback model predictive control of biological phenomena modeled by S-systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Recent years have witnessed extensive research activity in modeling biological phenomena as well as in developing intervention strategies for them. S-systems, which offer a good compromise between accuracy and mathematical ...
A wind turbine architecture employing a new three port magnetic gear box
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Mechanical gearboxes are typically employed with doubly-fed induction generator based wind turbines to convert the turbine's low speed mechanical power into high-speed mechanical power to drive the electrical generator. ...
Finite-sample size multiple antennas spectrum sensing
(2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider the problem of multiple antenna spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radios (CR) by exploiting the prior information about unknown parameters. Specifically, we consider a blind spectrum sensing problem ...
A passive DSP approach to fetal movement detection for monitoring fetal health
(2012 , Conference Paper)
Fetal movement can help clinicians understand fetal functional development. Active methods for fetal monitoring such as ultrasound are expensive and there are objections to their long term usage. This paper presents a ...
Joint hierarchical modulation and network coding for two way relay networks
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The performance of a joint Hierarchical Modulation (HM) and Network Coding (NC) scheme for two way relay networks is introduced and evaluated in this paper. The proposed scheme uses selective relaying based on a signal-to-noise ...
