Solving the inverse problem of crack identification using fuzzy genetic algorithms
(2010 , Conference Paper)
Failure due to low-cycle fatigue initiated cracks in rotating equipment may result in catastrophic scenarios. It is, therefore, important to identify fault parameters, such as crack size and crack location, to avoid such ...
Microstructural investigation of gamma-irradiated ultra high molecular weight polyethylene in nitrogen atmosphere
(
Trans Tech Publications
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In this paper the results of structural changes in ultra high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) upon gamma irradiation and storage in nitrogen environment are reported. Based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide ...
Exact closed form expressions for outage probability of GSC receivers over Rayleigh fading channel subject to self-interference
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Previous work on performance analyses of generalized selection combining (GSC) RAKE receivers based on the signal to noise ratio focused on the development of methodologies to derive exact closed-form expressions for various ...
Estimation of highly selective channels for downlink LTE system by a robust neural network
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In this paper we propose a robust channel estimator for Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink highly selective using neural network. This method uses the information provided by the reference signals to estimate the total ...
A new PLL method for resolvers
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes a novel implementation of the classical PLL closed loop method without using VCO, DAC, counter and look-up tables. The proposed method makes use of the excitation signal of the resolver to estimate the ...
Utility-based uplink scheduling algorithm for enhancing throughput and fairness in relayed LTE networks
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Relaying is one of the key techniques considered by the 3GPP LTE-Advanced as part of 4G cellular technologies, aiming to increase the coverage and capacity of the network especially for the edge nodes. In this work, we ...
Cognitive relaying in wireless sensor networks: Performance analysis and optimization
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The anticipated increase in the density of the deployed wireless sensor networks calls for spectrum sharing through unlicensed access to licensed spectrum. The key technology for spectrum sharing in this scenario is cognitive ...
Mobile wireless sensor networks applied to the survey of water infrastructures
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The paper reports our last advances in the realization of mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs), able to reveal unknown tracks and leakages within underground pipelines used to distribute water. This WSN technology is ...
Performance analysis of best relay selection scheme for amplify-and-forward cooperative networks in identical Nakagami-m channels
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In cooperative communication networks, the use of multiple relays between the source and the destination was proposed to increase the diversity gain. Since the source and all the relays must transmit on orthogonal channels, ...
Interest-determining web browser
(2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the application of data-mining techniques on a user's browsing history for the purpose of determining the user's interests. More specifically, a system is outlined that attempts to determine certain ...
