Switched mode power supplies for charge-up, discharge and balancing dc-link capacitors of diode-clamped five-level inverter
(
IET
, 2010 , Article)
Inductor switch mode power supplies (SMPS) operated in a discontinuous inductor current mode are used to balance the dc-link capacitor voltages of a diode-clamped five-level inverter. The SMPS concept is extended to charge ...
Bioenergy II: Bio-ethanol from municipal solid waste (MSW): The role of biomass properties and structures during the ethanol conversion process
(
Berkeley Electronic Press
, 2010 , Article)
The emerging biofuel industry demands large amount of biomass feedstock. Although commercial ethanol has been produced from primary biomass sources such as corns, the global food crisis caused by the use of primary biomass ...
Sensor network architecture for deployment over low voltage powerlines
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and implementation of an efficient sensor network (SN) over standard powerlines. As an application of the proposed SN, a home security and surveillance system was designed and implemented. ...
Sequential random selection relaying for energy efficient wireless sensor networks
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In a wireless sensor network with relaying capability, intermediate relay nodes are with limited energy budget. To maximize lifetime of relay nodes, selective relay strategies, requiring full channel state information ...
Force Transmission Error Analysis for a High-Pressure Single-Sinker Magnetic Suspension Densimeter
(
Springer Science and Business Media
, 2010 , Article)
The magnetic suspension densimeter (MSD) is a sophisticated, stateof-
the-art device that provides extremely accurate results for density measurements.
The MSD uses a magnetic technique to couple a mass inside a measurement ...
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 ...
Relay assignment in network-coded cooperative systems with M-PSK modulation over asymmetric channels
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
We consider in this paper relay assignment for cooperative systems with multiple two-way relay channels. The nodes corresponding to one two-way relay channel (henceforth referred to as pair) communicate with each other ...
On the performance of advanced QoS-aware packet scheduling for multiantenna packet radio systems
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study and analyze the performance of advanced OFDM packet scheduling techniques with given QoS requirements under the 3GPP UTRAN Long Term Evolution (L TE) framework. Stemming from our previous studies ...
Priority-based scheduling for limited energy cognitive relaying
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
We study the problem of cognitive relaying with limited-energy constraint in opportunistic spectrum access cognitive networks. Under this network setting, the cognitive user increases the spectrum availability for its own ...
An experience to develop a web portal about the historical and archeological sites in qatar
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is located in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula. The country possesses many magnificent historical and archaeological sites which are the common heritage and history of the Arab and Muslim people. However, a little ...
