Distributed spectrum sensing of correlated observations in cognitive radio networks
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Collaborative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) as one of the most efficient sensing approaches in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) is investigated when the Secondary Users (SUs) observations are assumed to be correlated. ...
Characteristics-based model predictive control of selective catalytic reduction in diesel-powered vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In heavy-duty diesel exhaust systems, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOx to nitrogen to meet environmental regulations. Diesel exhaust after-treatment involves a set of components that are best ...
Optimal utilization of geothermal heat from abandoned oil wells for power generation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Unlike other types of renewable energy, geothermal resources represent a stable energy source because they can be exploited regardless of meteorological conditions. In geothermal systems, heat is exchanged between the ...
A mathematical model for carbon fixation and nutrient removal by an algal photobioreactor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A comprehensive mathematical modeling method for Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) has been developed to assess the influence of nutrient concentration (total nitrogen TN= 28-207 and total phosphorus TP= 6-8mgL 1) and irradiation ...
Optimizing resource utilization during the recovery of civil infrastructure systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2010 , Article)
Postdisaster recovery efforts of damaged civil infrastructure systems need to be optimized in order to alleviate the adverse impacts of natural disasters on local societies and economies. This paper presents an innovative ...
Cooling vest with optimized PCM arrangement targeting torso sensitive areas that trigger comfort when cooled for improving human comfort in hot conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The objective of this work is to optimize the arrangement of Phase Change Material (PCM) packets in a cooling vest by targeting torso segments that can trigger comfort when cooled. An integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat ...
Joint Optimal Placement, Routing, and Flow Assignment in Wireless Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Sensor node placement optimization has a significant role in wireless sensor networks, especially in structural health monitoring. Since sensor node placement affects the routing, optimization should be Jointly done for ...
Linear Synchronous Reluctance Motor - A Comprehensive Review
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Linear synchronous reluctance motors (LSRELMs) are becoming an attractive alternative for linear induction motors (LIMs), linear synchronous motors (LSMs), and linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs). This paper reviews ...
Reliability-aware service provisioning in NFV-enabled enterprise datacenter networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Network Function Visualization (NFV) enables the complete decoupling of Network Functions (NFs) (e.g., firewall, intrusion detection, routing, etc.) from physical middleboxes used to implement service-specific and strictly ...
Enhanced service delivery for cognitive systems within multiple antenna scenarios
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is a well established technology that when jointly considered with Cognitive Radio (CR) it will create interactions that need to be optimized. The capability to provide service to more ...
