Microbial desalination cells as a versatile technology: Functions, optimization and prospective
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Other)
Saline water such as seawater or brackish water is a potential source for drinking water or for non-potable applications, but the existing desalination techniques are energy intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need ...
Combining Fisher locality preserving projections and passband DCT for efficient palmprint recognition
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper a new graph based approach referred to as Fisher Locality Preserving Projections (FLPP) is proposed for efficient palmprint recognition. The technique employs two graphs with the first being used to characterize ...
An Attack-Resistant Trust Model Based on Multidimensional Trust Metrics in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been widely used in many applications where a variable number of sensor nodes collaborate with each other to perform monitoring tasks. A trust model plays an important role ...
Low space harmonics cancelation in double-layer fractional slot winding using dual multiphase winding
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
One of the main drawbacks of nonoverlapped coils in fractional slot concentrated winding permanent magnet (PM) machines are the high eddy current losses in both rotor core and permanent magnets induced by the asynchronous ...
Influence of diesel acidification on dibenzothiophene removal: A new desulfurization practice
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Commercial diesel is often loaded with organosulphur compounds including hard-to-remove dibenzothiophene DBT and other derivatives. Following uncommon and simple procedure, dibenzothiophene was selectively removed upon ...
Wavelet Transform with Histogram-Based Threshold Estimation for Online Partial Discharge Signal Denoising
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Online condition assessment of the power system devices and apparatus is considered vital for robust operation, where partial discharge (PD) detection is employed as a diagnosis tool. PD measurements, however, are corrupted ...
Free-volume correlation with mechanical and dielectric properties of natural rubber/multi walled carbon nanotubes composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract The microstructure, mechanical strength, dielectric properties, Doppler broadening measurements and positron life time studies of the composites containing multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and natural rubber ...
Performance Evaluation of IEEE 802.15.4 Nonbeacon-Enabled Mode for Internet of Vehicles
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The Internet of Vehicle (IoV) network refers to networking technologies that could support highly economical and effective communication channels for interactions between vehicles. The success of IoV relies on efficient ...
Experimental determination of carbamate formation and amine protonation constants in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system and their temperature dependency
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The equilibrium constant for the formation of carbamate in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system was evaluated at different CO2 loadings, different temperature values, and different amine protonation constant. The studied ...
A simulation-optimization approach for robust aircraft routing
(
Universite de Lorraine
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to pro-actively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ...
