Quasi two-level operation of modular multilevel converter for use in a high-power DC transformer with DC fault isolation capability
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
DC fault protection is one challenge impeding the development of multiterminal dc grids. The absence of manufacturing and operational standards has led to many point-to-point HVDC links built at different voltage levels, ...
Intravenous versus Oral Acetaminophen for Pain: Systematic Review of Current Evidence to Support Clinical Decision-Making
(
Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists
, 2015 , Article)
Background:
Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen is increasingly used around the world for pain control for a variety of indications. However, it is unclear whether IV administration offers advantages over oral administrati ...
Transient gas turbine performance diagnostics through nonlinear adaptation of compressor and turbine maps
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Gas turbines are faced with new challenges of increasing flexibility in their operation while reducing their life cycle costs, leading to new research priorities and challenges. One of these challenges involves the ...
Purpose of the book and editorial perspectives
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Engineering and engineering education play an essential role in the Middle East. Global debates regarding roles of engineering and required transformations in engineering education have been extensive during the past few ...
Computational thermodynamic analysis of solar fuel production via metal oxide based H2O and CO2 splitting thermochemical cycles
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper thermodynamic feasibility of the production of solar fuel via SnO2/SnO based thermochemical CO2 splitting redox reactions was investigated. The first step is the thermal dissociation of SnO2 into SnO where ...
ShakeMe: Key generation from shared motion
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Devices equipped with accelerometer sensors such as today's mobile devices can make use of motion to exchange information. A typical example for shared motion is shaking of two devices which are held together in one hand. ...
Handover authentication for mobile networks: Security and efficiency aspects
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
A handover authentication module in mobile networks enables mobile nodes to securely and seamlessly roam over multiple access points. However, designing an appropriate handover authentication protocol is a difficult task ...
Performance evaluation of gas-power strategies for building energy conservation
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The work provided herein involves a comparison of natural gas and hydrogen fuels for the purpose of energy conservation for buildings via alternative energy generation methodologies. A case study simulation was developed ...
A context-aware approach for long-term behavioural change detection and abnormality prediction in ambient assisted living
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This research aims to describe pattern recognition models for detecting behavioural and health-related changes in a patient who is monitored continuously in an assisted living environment. The early anticipation of anomalies ...
A Fatigue Measuring Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
As players and soldiers preform strenuous exercises and do difficult and tiring duties, they are usually the common victims of muscular fatigue. Keeping this in mind, we propose FAtigue MEasurement (FAME) protocol for ...
