A novel P2P VoD streaming technique integrating localization and congestion awareness strategies
(2012 , Conference Paper)
The concept of the "future Internet" has evolved amongst researchers recently to relieve the tremendous pressure on the current Internet infrastructure to support the heterogeneous networking technologies, mobile devices, ...
Understanding the topologies of BitTorrent networks: A measurement view
(2012 , Conference Paper)
BitTorrent (BT) is one of the most popular Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network applications. Most characteristics (except the topology) of BT network have been examined extensively by measurement approaches. In this work, we deploy ...
An improved SVPWM method for multilevel inverters
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a new general Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) method for Multi-Level Inverters (MLI) based on a generalization of dwell-times calculation. The presented scheme is developed for Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverter. ...
A wavelet-based passive islanding detection technique
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Distribution power systems are radial in nature. Power flows in one direction from the utility to the load. Most protection, monitoring, and control devices are designed based on this unidirectional flow of power. Distributed ...
Multilevel cascaded Z source inverter for PV power generation system
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The paper investigates the use of multilevel cascaded Z source inverter (MC-ZSI) for photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. The control of the proposed system will take into account the multilevel modulation scheme and ...
An original controller design for a grid connected PV system
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
PV energy generation has been one of the most active research areas in the past decades due to its inexhaustibility and environmental-friendly aspects. However, the great deal is to utilize the solar energy effectively ...
Gene Expression Profiling of Embryonic Human Neural Stem Cells and Dopaminergic Neurons from Adult Human Substantia Nigra
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Neural stem cells (NSC) with self-renewal and multipotent properties serve as an ideal cell source for transplantation to treat neurodegenerative insults such as Parkinson's disease. We used Agilent's and Illumina Whole ...
Air quality monitoring and prediction system using machine-to-machine platform
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an ambient air quality monitoring and prediction system. The system consists of several distributed monitoring stations that communicate wirelessly to a backend server using machine-to-machine communication ...
Towards cost-effective maintenance of power transformer by accurately predicting its insulation condition
(2012 , Conference Paper)
Insulation resistance (IR) or Megger test has been commonly performed in both preventive and corrective maintenance activities to verify power transformers' insulation condition. Other insulation diagnosis tests such as ...
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 ...
