Fuzzy blind-spot scanner for automobiles
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an Intelligent Blind-Spot Sensing system is presented. This system exploits the power of sensor technology using multiple low-cost ultrasonic sensors to monitor the designated blind spots in a vehicle. In ...
Autonomous corrosion detection in gas pipelines: A hybrid-fuzzy classifier approach using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation protocols
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, a customized classifier is presented for the industry-practiced nondestructive evaluation (NDE) protocols using a hybrid-fuzzy inference system (FIS) to classify the corrosion and distinguish it from the ...
Image deconvolution for enhancing IR images in order to detect defects in metallic plates
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, infrared (IR) imaging technique is used in conjunction with image deconvolution algorithms in order to enhance detection capabilities of the NDT personnel in detecting defects such as cracks, voids, and ...
Fuzzy Logic in neurosurgery: predicting poor outcomes after lumbar disk surgery in 501 consecutive patients
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
Background: Despite a lot of research into patient selection, a significant number of patients fail to benefit from surgery for symptomatic lumbar disk herniation. We have used Fuzzy Logic-based fuzzy inference system (FIS) ...
Total and high molecular weight adiponectin in patients with coronary artery disease
(
Wolters Kluwer Health
, 2009 , Article)
BACKGROUND: Serum adiponectin inversely correlates with the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical significance of measuring high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in addition to ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
A Property Based Approach for Simultaneous Process and Molecular Design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
In this work, property clustering techniques and group contribution methods are combined to enable simultaneous consideration of process performance requirements and molecular property constraints. Using this methodology, ...
Financial progress and the stability of long-run money demand: Implications for the conduct of monetary policy in emerging economies
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2009 , Article)
This paper examines whether recent financial changes in three emerging market economies in the Gulf region (Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar) have distorted the character and the stability of their underlying long-run money ...
Handling data uncertainties in event tree analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Event tree analysis (ETA) is an established risk analysis technique to assess likelihood (in a probabilistic context) of an accident. The objective data available to estimate the likelihood is often missing (or sparse), ...
Maternal and child health in the occupied Palestinian territory
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
The Countdown to 2015 intervention coverage indicators in the occupied Palestinian territory are similar to those
of other Arab countries, although there are gaps in continuity and quality of services across the continuum ...
