Processing and characterization of palm fiber-polypropylene composites
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Composites of palm fiber and polypropylene were compounded using a mixing device at various temperatures, mixing times, and mixing intensities. Two mixing options were utilized. Either the mixing device was mounted with a ...
Enhanced Alamouti decoding scheme for DVB-T2 systems in SFN channels
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
The standard Alamouti space-frequency block code (SFBC) suffers from performance degradation when used over highly frequency-selective channels because the channel frequency response is not necessarily flat over the Alamouti ...
Advanced packet scheduling for efficient video support with limited channel feedback on MIMO LTE downlink
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Next-generation mobile networks will provide users with high data rates, increased mobility and various services. The initial step made in LTE and LTE-A is adopting the OFDM(A) air interface and utilization of dynamic ...
On the detection and estimation of correlated signal using circular antenna arrays
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and analysis of smart antenna systems used for the detection and estimation of correlated radio signals encountered in multipath environments using circular antenna arrays. The MUSIC algorithm ...
Effect of high-velocity scenarios on the performance of MIMO LTE packet scheduling
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper we analyze the performance of advanced OFDM packet scheduling techniques based on 3GPP UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE) framework for high velocity scenarios. Based on our previous investigations in system ...
Deadbeat control with multi-sampling compensation for medium-voltage motor drives by cascaded multi-cell inverter using FPGA based hardware controller
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Multi-cell inverter include an array of single-phase inverters capable of handling higher voltage ratings with lower rating power electronics devices. In this paper, a deadbeat control combined with a multi-sampling ...
Evaluating greywater and A/C condensate daily volume and water quality in urban settings
(
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Due to increasing water demand as a result of population growth and improvement in living standards, many countries with arid climate are already facing water shortages that are being met by expensive desalination projects. ...
Adaptive and unequal probability survey designs for environmental management
(
The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Designing an efficient large-area survey is a challenge, especially in environmental science when many populations are rare and clustered. Adaptive and unequal probability sampling designs are appealing when populations ...
Multi-species attributes as the condition for adaptive sampling of rare species using two-stage sequential sampling with an auxiliary variable
(
The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Assessing populations of rare species is challenging because of the large effort required to locate patches of occupied habitat and achieve precise estimates of density and abundance. The presence of a rare species has ...
An exploration into the religious and symbolic meanings of gendered spaces in an Arab gulf home
(2011 , Conference Paper)
Houses are rich symbols representative of culture, self and identity (Marcus 1995). The current research provides a comparative perspective on Arab-Islamic (Qatari) and Western values as encoded in the home and use of ...
