(
Springer London
, 2016 , Article)
Detection and removal of fences from digital images become essential when an important part of the scene turns to be occluded by such unwanted structures. Image de-fencing is challenging because manually marking fence ...
An Experimental and Kinetic Study of the Sorption of Carbon Dioxide onto Amine-Treated Oil Fly Ash
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
A new CO2 adsorbent is produced from waste oil fly ash (OFA). Ammonium hydroxide solution is used to convert OFA to activated carbon. Then, the product is used for the adsorption of CO2 from a nitrogen/carbon dioxide ...
Relay-Assisted Primary and Secondary Transmissions in Cognitive Radio Networks
(
