Enhancing passive UHF RFID backscatter energy using chirp spread spectrum signals and channel shortening
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Performance of passive ultrahigh frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) systems depends on the energy level of the backscattered signal from the RF tag to the RFID reader. In the indoor environment, the ...
Sustained solar fuel production in multiple thermochemical cycles using sol-gel derived ferrite nanopowders
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the sol-gel synthesis of Mg-doped Niferrite i.e. Ni-Mg-ferrite was attempted by using propylene oxide (PO) as a proton scvanger. Effects of two important synthesis paramaters such as amount of PO added during ...
Near infrared plasmonic sensor based on Fano resonance
(
SPIE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We introduce a compact plasmonic resonator that is capable of generating a Fano resonance in the transmission spectrum. The Fano resonance is observed with its unique lineshape. The proposed design is simple, compact, easy ...
Quantification of structural damage with self-organizing maps
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
One of the main tasks in structural health monitoring process is to create reliable algorithms that are capable of translating the measured response into meaningful information reflecting the actual condition of the monitored ...
Direct unsupervised text line extraction from colored historical manuscript images using DCT
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Extracting lines of text from a manuscript is an important preprocessing step in many digital paleography applications. These extracted lines play a fundamental part in the identification of the author and/or age of the ...
Learned vs. engineered features for fine-grained classification of aquatic macroinvertebrates
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Aquatic macroinvertebrate biomonitoring is an efficient way of assessment of slow and subtle anthropogenic changes and their effect on water quality. It is imperative to have reliable identification and counts of the various ...
Study on thermal adaptation in naturally ventilated office buildings in Japan
(
NCEUB 2016
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper discusses the relationship between thermal environment and adaptive thermal comfort in Japanese office buildings of Japan where occupants are able to open the windows. With the use of adaptive thermal control ...
Adolescents surveillance system for obesity in Europe. A pioneering project to prevent obesity in Italy using E-technology: The ASSO* project * adolescence surveillance system for obesity prevention
(
IADIS
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Adolescents' obesity is a major concern in our modern life; it could lead to significant increase in the rate of obese in the future generations and consequently the health budget. The ASSO Project in Italy (Adolescence ...
A comparative analysis of thermal acceptability in offices in India and Japan
(
NCEUB 2016
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
India's building energy consumption is increasing rapidly. Fukushima disaster reshaped Japan's energy perspective. Adaptive comfort standards need to be developed for these countries. We conducted a fourteen-month thermal ...
Automated detection of anomalies in sewer closed circuit television videos using proportional data modeling
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Sewer pipeline condition information is usually collected using closed circuit television (CCTV). Moreover, in order to evaluate the condition of pipeline, data should be processed by a certified operator, which is time ...
