Potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation in Qatar
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
There is general acceptance that climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, improving the performance of our existing energy ...
Incorporating haptic and olfactory into surgical simulation
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Recently, surgical simulation is a widely used method to train surgeons on specific surgeries due to the fact that it helps reducing surgical errors. Available surgical simulations lack realism since they only incorporate ...
A comparison of quadratic TFDs for entropy based detection of components time supports in multicomponent nonstationary signal mixtures
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Separation of different signal components, produced by one or more sources, is a problem encountered in many signal processing applications. This paper proposes a fully automatic undetermined blind source separation method, ...
Iterated unscented Kalman filter-based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic applications
(2013 , Conference Paper)
One of main challenges in harvesting power from a PV source is maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This is due to the nonlinear behaviour and characteristics of PV arrays. Conventional MPPT techniques usually utilize a ...
Performance evaluation for compression-accuracy trade-off using compressive sensing for EEG-based epileptic seizure detection in wireless tele-monitoring
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Brain is the most important part in the human body controlling muscles and nerves; Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals record brain electric activities. EEG signals capture important information pertinent to different ...
Bayesian network based heuristic for energy aware EEG signal classification
(
SpringerLink
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
A major challenge in the current research of wireless electroencephalograph (EEG) sensor-based medical or Brain Computer Interface applications is how to classify EEG signals as accurately and energy efficient as possible. ...
Modified modulation scheme for photovoltaic fed grid-connected three-phase boost inverter
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Transformer-less photovoltaic (PV) inverters are the major functional units of modern grid-connected PV energy production systems. In general, two power conversion stages are required when low-voltage unregulated photovoltaic ...
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
DC bus control of an advanced flywheel energy storage kinetic traction system for electrified railway industry
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The evolution of public transportation exhibits high potential nowadays due to the consistent demand of clean transportation with low pollution rates. Therefore electrified railway systems become viable with their ...
Optimal power allocation and relay selection in two-way multi-relay cooperative communication
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate the power allocation in two-way multi-relay assisted cooperative network in which the relays operate in decode-and-forward (DF) protocol. In the proposed method for choosing the best relay ...
