A general multicompartment lung mechanics model with nonlinear resistance and compliance respiratory parameters
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we develop a nonlinear multicompartment lung mechanics model that accounts for nonlinearities in both the airway resistances and the lung compliances. Many models assume that the airway resistances for a ...
Ride-through capability enhancement of VSC-HVDC based wind farms using low speed flywheel energy storage system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Reliable balancing of active power generated via wind farms is vital for power system stability and for maintaining system frequency deviations within acceptable limits. This paper presents a backup power balancing technique ...
Clinical pharmacokinetic drug interactions associated with artemisinin derivatives and HIV-antivirals
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2014 , Article Review)
Management of HIV and malaria co-infection is challenging due to potential drug-drug interactions between antimalarial and HIV-antiviral drugs. Little is known of the clinical significance of these drug interactions, and ...
A survey and taxonomy on energy efficient resource allocation techniques for cloud computing systems
(
Springer
, 2014 , Article)
In a cloud computing paradigm, energy efficient allocation of different virtualized ICT resources (servers, storage disks, and networks, and the like) is a complex problem due to the presence of heterogeneous application ...
Energy efficient mobile relay selection for two-hop wireless networks
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a relay selection strategy for randomly distributed multiple relays. A single relay is selected for transmitting signal from a fixed source to a fixed destination which requires minimum total ...
A novel particle filter parameter prediction scheme for failure prognosis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Particle filters are well-known as powerful tools for accomplishing state and parameter estimation and their propagation prediction in nonlinear dynamical systems. Their ability to include system model parameters as part ...
HLS based hardware acceleration on the zynq SoC: A case study for fall detection system
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Fall detection is a major problem in healthcare systems, especially for elderly people who are the most vulnerable. It is important to design and implement not only an accurate fall detection system (FDS) but also a system ...
Verifying cloud service-level agreement by a third-party auditor
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...
Sensor fault detection and isolation using multiple robust filters for linear systems with time-varying parameter uncertainty and error variance constraints
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a robust sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) strategy is proposed by means of the multiple model (MM)-based scheme. The proposed approach is composed of robust Kalman filters (RKF) with error variance ...
Self-assembled zirconia nanotube arrays: Fabrication mechanism, energy consideration and optical activity
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2014 , Article)
We present a comprehensive roadmap for the precise control of the dimensions and optical properties of anodically fabricated zirconia nanotubes. The effects of anodization time, applied voltage, solvent composition, as ...
