Real-time vibration-based structural damage detection using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) and vibration-based structural damage detection have been a continuous interest for civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers over the decades. Early and meticulous damage detection has ...
Robust detection of acoustic partial discharge signals in noisy environments
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Partial discharge (PD) can be used to predict insulation failures in power transformers. Accurate detection of particular PD types has a significant role in anticipating forthcoming outages. However, the noise encountered ...

Sperm-specific phospholipase C zeta (PLC?) is widely considered to be the physiological stimulus that evokes intracellular calcium (Ca2+) oscillations that are essential for the initiation of egg activation during mammalian ...
Distributed fault detection and isolation filter design for heterogeneous multi-agent LPV systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a new approach for the design of fault detection and isolation (FDI) filters for a class of linear parameter-varying (LPV) multi-agent systems, where the state-space representations of the agents ...
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 ...
An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem Using Branch-and-Price
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the integrated quay crane assignment and scheduling problem (QCASP). The problem requires determining the assignment of quay cranes to vessels and the scheduling of operations to be performed by ...
Potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae for carbon dioxide bio-fixation and advanced wastewater treatment
(
AIChE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a CO2 capturing technology and treatment process for wastewaters was evaluated at two temperatures ( 25 and 30 C) and different CO2 dosage ( 0%, 5% and 15%). During ...
