Performance of corrosion-aged Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams rehabilitated with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
(
International Committee of the SCMT conferences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports on the feasibility of using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems to rehabilitate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Seven large-scale RC beams were constructed and tested ...
Hardware Acceleration of an Image Processing System for Dielectrophoretic Loading of Single Neurons Inside Micro-Wells of Microelectrode Arrays
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes an image processing algorithm and its efficient architecture. The proposed architecture is used to process images of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) and micro-wells captured by a microscope camera in a ...
Reliability estimation of load sharing capacity-c-out-of-n pairs:G Balanced system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In many cases, systems are required to provide a specified capacity such as the case of power distribution system. A system fails when its capacity does not meet the required minimum capacity. In this paper, we investigate ...
On the performance of spectrum sensing based on GLR for full-duplex cognitive radio networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In cognitive radio networks, secondary users (SUs) utilize the unused spectrum slots in the assigned band for the primary users (PUs). Conventional cognitive radio networks operate in half-duplex (HD) mode. Recently, ...
Review on organic solar cells
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The serious threat of global warming on earth made it necessary to look for alternative sources of energy. In fact, the seek for clean and cheap energy is subject of several research investigations nowadays, and the invention ...
Asymptotic behaviour of contraction non-autonomous semi-flows in a Banach space: Application to first-order hyperbolic PDEs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The asymptotic behaviour is studied for a class of non-autonomous infinite-dimensional non-linear dissipative systems. This is achieved by using the concept of contraction semi-flow, which is a generalization of contraction ...
Why is the Indian Sari an all-weather gear? Clothing insulation of Sari, Salwar-Kurti, Pancha, Lungi, and Dhoti
(
NCEUB 2016
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Barring a few reports on the clothing insulation of sari and salwar-Kurti, little is known about the other traditional ensembles men use in South Asia and beyond. To accurately account for the thermal insulation on the ...
Demonstrating the Worth of Recycled Aggregates - A Case Study from Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recycled aggregates are widely used in unbound applications in many countries. However, in some areas the materials available may not meet all the requirements of the local specifications. This is the case in Qatar, where ...
QoE-oriented resource efficiency for 5G two-tier cellular networks: A femtocaching framework
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Video streaming applications and services (VASs) consume an enormous amount of scarce resources in mobile devices and cellular wireless networks due to the demand for high data rates of video streaming. The limited resource ...
Operation of three-phase modular multilevel converter (MMC) with reduced number of arms
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Conventional three-phase MMC consists of six-arms, each arm is controlled to generate unipolar voltage ranging from zero to Vdc where Vdc is the input DC voltage. Each arm voltage has two components (DC and AC components). ...
