Enhancing the DC voltage utilization of twelve-switch voltage source inverter feeding symmetrical/asymmetrical nine-phase loads
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Twelve-Switch Nine-Phase Inverter (TSNPI) can be used to feed three independent three-phase loads or nine-phase load such as nine-phase machines. It provides dc-ac conversion with a reduced number of switches, as only ...
Effectiveness of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix in Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the efficiency of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of RC beams. In the main experimental part of the paper, 12 RC beams, ...
Simulation based particle swarm optimization of cross-training policies in spare parts supply systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a multi-server repair shop and inventory with ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is received, a new (or as-good-as-new) ...
FRP/stirrups interaction of shear-strengthened beams
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This work includes experimental testing and finite element analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) shear-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The strengthening techniques used for the beam strengthening are ...
Preliminary Test Estimation of the Threshold in the Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution Based on Records and Minimax Regret Significance Levels
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
SYNOPTIC ABSRACT: We consider preliminary test estimation of the threshold parameter of the two-parameter exponential distribution using record-breaking data. We use the minimax regret criterion on the risk function of the ...
Product-service supplier pre-evaluation with modified fuzzy ANP reducing decision information distortion
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The main challenge of new product-service supplier (PSS) selection is the lack of historical performance information of the suppliers. As one of the most popular techniques in supplier evaluation, the analytic network ...
A 10-step safety management framework for construction small and medium-sized enterprises
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
It is of great importance to develop an occupational health and safety management system (OHS MS) to form a systemized approach to improve health and safety. It is a known fact that thousands of accidents and injuries occur ...
Design of Lightweight Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Due to the widespread popularity in both academia and industry, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have been used in a wide range of applications starting from intelligent transportation to e-health and itinerary planning. ...
Quantification of Melamine in Milk and Dairy Products by Liquid Chromatography after a Simple Sample Clean-Up Procedure
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, a simple procedure of melamine determination in dairy products is reported. This is based first on melamine extraction from dairy products by 1% acetic acid, sonication, centrifugation and filtration by 0.45 µm ...
Intramolecular versus intermolecular hydrogen bonds in a novel conjugated dimethylamino-benzylidene-amino-2-naphthoic acid Schiff base
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
A new compound based on the D-π-A concept, where D = dimethylamino-phenyl and A = naphthoic acid, separated by an imine motif, was designed, synthesized and characterized. The spectral, energetics, and structural characteristics ...
