A design example of an 8-pole radial AMB for flywheel energy storage
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
High speed flywheel energy storage systems normally use magnetic bearings to reduce friction loss. Bearing load consists of radial forces with or without axial forces according to drive configuration and requirements. The ...
Reactive relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed gain relays
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Best relay selection is a bandwidth efficient technique for multiple relay environments without compromising the system performance. The problem of relay selection is more challenging in underlay cognitive networks due to ...
Research-based learning in computing courses for senior engineering students
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports on the experience and lessons learned from introducing a constructivist inquiry-based learning (IBL) in advanced computing courses. The paper describes an iterative problem-centric process and gives ...
SINR analysis for beamforming OFDM systems under joint transmit-receive I/Q imbalance
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the subcarrier average SINR of a beamforming OFDM system in the presence of joint transmit-receive I/Q imbalance. The derived expression quantifies the impact of the ...
Security oriented service composition: A framework
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper argues that in order to address the challenges of security compatibility checking between the client's software and the service software in a service oriented software environment, the followings have to be ...
Magnetic gearbox with an electric power output port and fixed speed ratio for wind energy applications
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Mechanical gearboxes are typically employed with doubly-fed induction generator-based wind turbines. The main drawback of this solution is the gearbox's reliability and maintenance. Using magnetic gearbox in conjunction ...
Novel oral formulations of metformin in semi-solid matrices: Design, characterization and in vitro dissolution testing
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Objectives: To formulate and evaluate oral dosage forms of metformin hydrochloride (MH) having sustained-release properties that would also increase MH bioavailability and address the shortcomings in the currently marketed ...
Systems engineering design of engineering education: A case of an embedded systems course
(
IEEE Education Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Systems and Cybernetics can be found elsewhere in natural and engineering sciences. Control systems methods (technical cybernetics) are the nerve of the industrial revolution; they have recently penetrated some social ...
Meta-heuristics for aircraft arrival and departure scheduling on multiple runways
(
Institute of Industrial Engineers
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The problem of scheduling aircrafts on multiple runways can be modeled as an identical parallel machine scheduling with release times, target times and deadlines. To schedule arriving and departing aircrafts as close as ...
Efficient alignment of next generation sequencing data using MapReduce on the cloud
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a methodology for running NGS read mapping tools in the cloud environment based on the MapReduce programming paradigm. As a demonstration, the recently developed and robust sequence alignment tool, ...
