Managing Uncertain Industrial Flares during Abnormal Process Operations using an Integrated Optimization and Monte Carlo Simulation Approach
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
In this work, an integrated optimization framework with Monte Carlo (MC) simulation techniques is suggested for the systematic synthesis of energy alternative tools, such as cogeneration (COGEN) systems, which can effectively ...
Measures, performance assessment, and enhancement of TFDs
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
This chapter describes a number of time-frequency (t,f) performance quality measures specifically developed as criteria for performance enhancement for a given application. The adopted performance measures are defined using ...
Instantaneous frequency estimation and localization
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
In many applications, a critical feature of a non-stationary signal is provided by its instantaneous frequency (IF), which accounts for the signal spectral variations as a function of time. This chapter presents methods ...
Detection, classification, and estimation in the (t, f ) domain
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Several studies involving real-life applications have shown that methods for the detection, estimation, and classification of nonstationary signals can be enhanced by utilizing the time-frequency ((t,f)) characteristics ...
Optimal Design of Cogeneration Systems Based on Flaring and Venting Streams and Accounting for the Involved Uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
This work presents an optimization approach to design cogeneration systems able to use flare streams as supplementary fuel during normal and abnormal operation in oil complexes, while the problems associated with flaring ...
Assessment of Medication Dispensing and Extended Community Pharmacy Services
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Individuals who visit community pharmacies are regarded as customers rather than patients. The public tends to view community pharmacists as businesspeople. Several factors influence individuals' willingness to patronize ...
Spectroscopy-introducing the advantages and application areas in polymer nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Spectroscopy is an inevitable tool of characterizing polymer nanocomposites. Various spectroscopic techniques unveil the nature of dispersion of nanoparticles within the matrix polymer, the interactions between filler and ...
Theory and design of high-resolution quadratic TFDs
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
The quadratic time-frequency distributions (TFDs) introduced in the previous chapter represent the majority of traditional time-frequency ((t,f)) methods used in practical applications that deal with nonstationary signals. ...
Pharmacy Practice in Qatar
