A framework for optimal cost media streaming in three-tier wireless networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Heterogeneous networking is envisioned as a key solution for accommodating the traffic surge resulting from resource demanding applications such as video streaming. In this paper, the diversity in cost, coverage, and ...
Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks for delta-endotoxin and protease yields modelling of Bacillus thuringiensis
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. Using available medium ingredients as ...
Fuzzy Structural Equation Model to Assess Construction Site Safety Performance
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The main goal of this study is to examine the relationships between determinants of safety performance of construction sites. To achieve this goal, 168 observable variables and 16 latent dimensions that affect safety ...
Rheological, Thermodynamic, and Gas Solubility Properties of Phenylacetic Acid-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Choline chloride + phenylacetic acid-based deep eutectic solvents are studied. Their most relevant experimental physicochemical properties at different mixing ratios together with the CO2 solubility data obtained in wide ...
A distortion-free contrast enhancement technique based on a perceptual fusion scheme
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Contrast enhancement, in a broad sense, is a process whereby some characteristics of an image signal are highlighted. Techniques for image contrast enhancement improve the visibility of image details but may generate some ...
Fuzzy chance-constrained goal programming model for multi-attribute financial portfolio selection
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this paper is to propose a fuzzy chance constrained goal programming model for solving a multi-attribute financial portfolio selection problem under two types of uncertainty namely randomness and fuzziness. The ...
Fault tolerant control of differential drive mobile robots using sliding mode controller
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
An actuator fault tolerant controller for differential drive mobile robots is proposed using the sliding surface scheme for a loss of effectiveness (LOE) actuator fault. It is shown that an LOE actuator fault can be modeled ...
Supply chain management through the stochastic goal programming model
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Supply chain (SC) design problems are often characterized with uncertainty related to the decision-making parameters. The stochastic goal programming (SGP) was one of the aggregating procedures proposed to solve the SC ...
A Unipolar/Bipolar High-Voltage Pulse Generator Based on Positive and Negative Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters Operating in Discontinuous Conduction Mode
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a new high-voltage pulse generator, which is based on positive and negative buck-boost (BB) converters fed from a relatively low voltage dc supply. The proposed generator is able to generate unipolar ...
Goal programming model for management accounting and auditing: a new typology
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In practice, generally the accountants are facing complex decision-making situations where they aggregate simultaneously several conflicting and incommensurable factors (dimensions). They look for the decision of the best ...
