Antenna subset selection at multi-antenna relay with adaptive modulation
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
In this paper, we proposed several antenna selection schemes for cooperative diversity systems with adaptive transmission. The proposed schemes were based on dual-hop relaying where a relay with multiple-antenna capabilities ...
On hierarchical network coding versus opportunistic user selection for two-way relay channels with asymmetric data rates
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
We address in this paper the challenge of coping with asymmetric data rates in two-way relay channels. We consider a relay network comprising two sources and one relay. The sources communicate at different rates through ...
An improved performance direct-drive permanent magnet wind generator using a novel single-layer winding layout
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Direct-drive permanent magnet (PM) generators have become a strong contender in medium and large rating wind energy conversion systems as they not only provide higher efficiency and annual energy production, but also reduce ...
A voltage-behind-reactance model of five-phase induction machines considering the effect of magnetic saturation
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Five-phase induction machines are generally modeled using multiple dq planes or using a phase variable model. This paper considers modeling five-phase induction machines using a voltage-behind-reactance (VBR) configuration. ...
Is there a need for a formulary of clinically interchangeable medicines to guide generic substitution in Saudi Arabia?
(2013 , Article)
The escalating healthcare expenditure is a major challenge to sustainability of the healthcare systems. To confront the escalating health expenditure in general and medicines expenditure in particular, many countries ...

(2013 , Article)
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists (CPs) in Penang, Malaysia, towards consumer reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). Methodology: A ...
Using hierarchical composite approach to improve mechanical response of Mg and Mg–Bi2O3 nano-composites
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Novel Mg nano-composites reinforced with either Bi2O3 nano-particles or hybrid Al–Bi2O3 particles (Bi2O3 nano-particles hybridized with Al using ball milling) have been synthesized, in this work, through powder metallurgy ...
The impact of Indonesian generic medicine pricing policy on medicine prices
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Introduction: The government of Indonesia has established a commitment to the provision of affordable medicines. The retail price of unbranded generic cannot exceed the maximum retail price set by the Ministry of Health. ...
Nanocomposite photoactuators based on an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer filled with carbon nanotubes
(2013 , Article)
This paper reports strong, reversible actuation of nanocomposites on the base of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) filled with multiwalled (MWCNTs) and singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion ...
