Design and verification of a flexible device for steering a tethered capsule endoscope in the stomach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Capsule endoscopy is a good method of gastric cancer diagnosis that has some advantages over conventional endoscopy, such as providing reliable results without substantial discomfort to patients. However, lack of capsule ...
Evaluating the lending channel of monetary transmission in Qatar
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This study uses OLS, fixed effect and random effect models to evaluate the lending channel of the monetary policy transmission in Qatar over the 2000-2013 period. The growth in the loans extended by the Qatari banks is ...
Learned vs. hand-designed features for ECG beat classification: A comprehensive study
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this study, in order to find out the best ECG classification performance we realized comparative evaluations among the state-of-the-art classifiers such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), multi-layer perceptrons ...
Enabling indexing and retrieval of historical Arabic manuscripts through template matching based word spotting
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We present a holistic segmentation-free query by example word spotting technique based on template matching. We have applied this technique to a dataset of historical Arabic handwritten manuscript images. First, the documents ...
Sparsity-aware joint frame synchronization and channel estimation: Algorithm and USRP implementation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Conventional correlation-based frame synchronization techniques can suffer significant performance degradation over multi-path frequency-selective channels. As a remedy, in this paper we consider joint frame synchronization ...
The potential use of solar photocatalytic oxidation for removal of emerging pharmaceuticals from effluent of wastewater treatment plant: A pilot plant study
(
AIChE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The treatment of effluent wastewater containing pharmaceutical by solar advanced oxidation processes were studied in a pilot plant. The removal efficiency of four groups of pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, estrogens, acidic, ...
Structural damage detection in real time: Implementation of 1D convolutional neural networks for SHM applications
(
Springer
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Most of the classical structural damage detection systems involve two processes, feature extraction and feature classification. Usually, the feature extraction process requires large computational effort which prevent the ...
Reconfigurable control of linear systems based on state feedback adaptive virtual actuator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, design and development of fault tolerant control (FTC) of linear systems subject to loss of effectiveness and time-varying additive actuator faults as well as an external disturbance using the fault-hiding ...
Measuring and optimising performance of an offline text writer identification system in terms of dimensionality reduction techniques
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Usually, most of the data generated in real-world such as images, speech signals, or fMRI scans has a high dimensionality. Therefore, dimensionality reduction techniques can be used to reduce the number of variables in ...
Range-Doppler radar sensor fusion for fall detection
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Falls are the major cause of accidents in the elderly population. Propelled by their non-intrusive sensing capabilities and robustness to heat and lighting conditions, radar-based automated fall detection systems have ...
