Design of a hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and simulation of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to assist human walking. Design requirements were established based on a quantitative study of published data, simulations of human walking, and ...
Liposome Delivery Systems for Inhalation: A Critical Review Highlighting Formulation Issues and Anticancer Applications
(
S. Karger AG
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This is a critical review on research conducted in the field of pulmonary delivery of liposomes. Issues relating to the mechanism of nebulisation and liposome composition were appraised and correlated with literature reports ...
TWO-GRAPH BUILDING INTERIOR REPRESENTATION for EMERGENCY RESPONSE APPLICATIONS
(
Copernicus GmbH
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Nowadays, in a rapidly developing urban environment with bigger and higher public buildings, disasters causing emergency situations and casualties are unavoidable. Preparedness and quick response are crucial issues saving ...
Multi-module high voltage pulse generator based on DC-DC boost converter and CDVMs for drinking water purification
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
High pulsed electric field (PEF) can be used effectively in drinking water purification, by applying it across the water sample to be treated. Application of sufficient high PEF guarantees killing of harmful germs and ...
Finite control set model predictive control for grid-tied quasi-Z-source based multilevel inverter
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a finite control set Model Predictive Control (MPC) for grid-tie quasi-Z-Source (qZS) based multilevel inverter is proposed. The proposed Power Conditioning System (PCS) consists of a single-phase 2-cell ...
A new three-level switched-capacitor submodule for modular multilevel converters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Conventionally, only one out of the two capacitors in a three-level submodule is involved in the arm current path to generate the first non-zero voltage level (E) in modular multilevel converters (MMCs). While two capacitors ...
Review on organic solar cells
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The serious threat of global warming on earth made it necessary to look for alternative sources of energy. In fact, the seek for clean and cheap energy is subject of several research investigations nowadays, and the invention ...
Information sharing in cooperative networks: A generic trustworthy issue
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In a cooperative network, users share information with each other to achieve a common target. Due to the concerns of privacy and cost, users may be reluctant to share genuine information with each other, which incurs the ...
Design and analysis framework for sparse FIR channel shortening
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A major performance and complexity limitation in broadband communications is the long channel delay spread which results in a highly-frequency-selective channel frequency response. Channel shortening equalizers (CSEs) are ...
Modelling and performance analysis of 3-D heterogeneous cellular networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Cellular networks are usually described by two-dimensional (2-D) models. These models are appropriate for rural or suburban areas but are not suitable for dense urban environments, where a large number of heterogeneous ...
