Principles of excellence in Engineering education applied to GCC/MENA Engineering Colleges and comparison with Australia and France: A thesis with analysis, results, observations
(2013 , Conference Paper)
This invited paper aims at reviewing the current status of Engineering education in the GCC countries and proposing a few guidelines for reform and improvement. The principles applied to this process have been developed ...
Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
Optimal micro-siting of small wind turbine using numerical simulation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The main objective of this study is to conduct an optimal micro-siting of 1kW wind turbine to provide electricity for the eco-house project at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). The study utilizes the Numerical Weather ...
Engineering economics: Literature review and recommendations for practitioners
(2013 , Conference Paper)
The paper provides a review of the curriculum and pedagogy of engineering economics course, which is normally taken by engineering students of different disciplines. Literature reviews of studies and courses syllabuses on ...
A cooperative Q-learning approach for online power allocation in femtocell networks
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we address the problem of distributed interference management of cognitive femtocells that share the same frequency range with macrocells using distributed multiagent Q-learning. We formulate and solve three ...
Design and analysis of an adaptive compressive sensing architecture for epileptic seizure detection
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Epileptic detection techniques rely heavily on the Electroencephalography (EEG) as a representative signal carrying valuable information pertaining to the current brain state. In this work, we investigate the stability of ...
EEG feature extraction and selection techniques for epileptic detection: A comparative study
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Epileptic detection techniques rely heavily on the Electroencephalography (EEG) as representative signal carrying valuable information pertaining to the current brain state. For these techniques to be efficient and reliable, ...
Open loop V/f control of multiphase induction machine under open-circuit phase faults
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
One of the main advantages of multiphase induction machines is their higher fault-tolerant capability. Under phase(s) loss, the machine currents can be optimally controlled to satisfy certain optimization criteria. In this ...
Efficient FPGA-based implementation of a novel dual mode spectrum sensing technique
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Cognitive radio networks require an efficient and reliable method of sensing the spectrum. In this paper, we introduce and implement a new dual mode spectrum sensing technique that is based on combining Quickest Detection ...
An improved real-time digital feedback control for grid-tie multilevel inverter
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a weighted Real-Time Digital Feedback Control for a grid connected Distributed Generation (DG) system (gas turbines, fuel cells, photovoltaic, wind.). The DG source is connected to the grid through a ...
