Increasing population and growing demands from both agriculture and industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) necessitate the need to provide inexpensive fresh water. The only feasible source of such water is desalination. ...

A new low cost method for converting the amplitudes of the sine/cosine signals generated by the resolver into a measure of the angle of its shaft. The new method operates without lookup tables (LUT), and takes advantage ...

The paper presents a new low cost and accurate method for determining the angle from sine and cosine signals produced by resolvers and sinusoidal encoders. In the proposed scheme, multiple phase-shifted sinusoids (PSS) are ...

Resorcinol-Formaldehyde (RF)-based activated carbon xerogels are typically synthesized using a homogeneous, sodium-based, catalyst solution. In this work, the synthesis of RF-based carbon xerogels using other, non-typical, ...

The cycle-complete graph Ramsey number r ( C m , K n ) is the smallest integer N such that every graph G of order N contains a cycle C m on m vertices or has independent number α ( G ) ≥ n . ...
