Experimental investigation of the laminar flame speeds of GTL fuel blends
(
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work investigates the laminar flame speed of GTL fuel and its 50%-50% blend with conventional diesel, in a cylindrical bomb capable of measuring laminar flame speed, SN, at different initial temperatures and equivalence ...
Mathematical modeling of PCM cooling vest for workers in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) made of salt mixtures that melts at a specific temperature helps in maintaining the skin temperature of the covered parts at a comfortable level. A dynamic thermal ...
Modelling and performance analysis of 3-D heterogeneous cellular networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Cellular networks are usually described by two-dimensional (2-D) models. These models are appropriate for rural or suburban areas but are not suitable for dense urban environments, where a large number of heterogeneous ...
Performance enhancement of cognitive relay networks using regression functions
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In a spectrum sharing relay-aided secondary network, the design objective shifts from minimizing the violation of the primary system constraints when using the outdated channel state information (CSI), to making the best ...
Joint data and power transfer optimization for energy harvesting wireless networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Energy harvesting techniques emerge as a potential solution for prolonging the lifetime of the energy-constrained mobile wireless devices. In this paper, we focus on radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting for multiuser ...
Uncertain training data set conceptual reduction: A machine learning perspective
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Knowledge discovery from data is a challenging problem that has significant importance in many different fields such as biology, economics and social sciences. Real-world data is incomplete and ambiguous; moreover, its ...
Impact of stochastic RF energy harvesting relay on wireless point-to-point network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study a general practical stochastic energy harvesting (EH) model where in, an EH relay is able to harvest energy from the radio frequency (RF) radiation in a super capacitor. The different aspects of ...
Energy efficient path planning techniques for UAV-based systems with space discretization

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are miniature air-crafts that have proliferated in many military and civil applications. Their affordability allows for tasks to be held with not just one but a fleet of UAVs. One of the problems ...
Discrete event simulation for sustainable batch production in food processing
(
Dime University of Genoa
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In a world faced with depleting resources and hazardous biodegradable food wastes, an efficient planning for the food processing operation is crucial to avoid the adverse potential impact of excess food production. This ...
RB allocation based on genetic algorithm in cloud radio access networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work proposes a method to optimize the resource block allocation in the cloud radio access network for a long term evolution system. This approach consists in three steps. First, the baseband unit collects the required ...
