Outage analysis of hybrid FSO/RF systems based on finite-state Markov chain modeling
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of a hybrid free-space optical/radio-frequency (FSO/RF) communication system with soft-switching. In soft-switching approach, either one of the links or both links can be ...
Energy-efficient cloud resource management
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We propose a resource management framework that reduces energy consumption in cloud data centers. The proposed framework predicts the number of virtual machine requests along with their amounts of CPU and memory resources, ...
A new permanent-magnet vernier machine using a single layer winding layout for electric vehicles
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Permanent magnet (PM) vernier machines have shown promise in electric vehicle applications as they offer high torque density and low speed/high torque operation by introducing flux-modulation poles that modulate the ...
Closed-loop control of anesthesia and mean arterial pressure using reinforcement learning
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
General anesthesia is required for patients undergoing surgery as well as for some patients in the intensive care units with acute respiratory distress syndrome. How-ever, most anesthetics affect cardiac and respiratory ...
Passive pre-cooling potential for reducing building air-conditioning loads in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A major source of energy consumption in the building sector is the extensive use of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the rising demands for indoor comfort. Advancements in reducing cooling ...
A multi-sensing reconfigurable platform for gas applications
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The production of hazardous gases due to different physicochemical reactions in gas industries have raised the need of autonomous sensor tag. However the adaptation of remotely controlled sensor tag is still suffering with ...
Performance analysis of general order selection in decentralized cognitive radio networks
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider an underlay secondary network comprising of K transmitter-receiver pairs sharing the spectrum of a primary network, which is divided into n non-overlapping frequency bands (subchannels). Each ...
Traffic engineering in cloud data centers: A column generation approach
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
While many have advocated for the use of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) as a way to provide scalable traffic management, finding the optimal traffic split (mapping) among VLANs to achieve load balancing has turned out ...
A Prototype Of Virtually Interactive Hand Activating Devise-Low Cost Portable Head Mounted System (vihad Plus) For Neurological Rehabilitation
(
Qatar Foundation
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Background and Purpose: Restoring function in individuals who have severe paralysis of the upper extremity secondary to stroke is challenging. Recent technologies have made it possible to use robotic devices as novel tools ...
Asymptotic stability of time-varying distributed parameter semi-linear systems
(
IFAC
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The asymptotic behaviour is studied for a class of non-linear distributed parameter time-varying dissipative systems. This is achieved by using time-varying infinite-dimensional Banach state space description. Stability ...
