An Improved Structures of Modified CUK Converter using VLSI module (MCCVLSI) for High-Voltage Renewable Energy Applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an improved structures of modified CUK converter (MCCVLSI) is presented using Voltage Lift Switched Inductor (VLSI) module. The proposed converter provides a negative high DC voltage which is a doable solution ...
Parenting, personality, and culture as predictors of perfectionism
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
This study examined the relationship between parenting styles, personality traits, culture, and perfectionism. Male and female undergraduate university students from the US (n = 168) and the Middle East (n = 74) completed ...
Fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors by obstacle dielectrophoresis
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) is currently believed to be an efficient biological treatment for reusing and recovering wastewater to extenuate the ever increasing water scarcity crisis. To mitigate the main problem, ...
Drill string nonlinear vibrations: Experimental studies and finite-element analysis
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present work, nonlinear vibrations of drill strings are studied. A laboratory scale arrangement consisting of a flexible rod with rotor-stator system is used to study the system dynamics. A finite-element model has ...
A boundary integral method for the general conjugation problem in multiply connected circle domains
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
We present a boundary integral method for solving a certain class of Riemann-Hilbert problems known as the general conjugation problem. The method is based on a uniquely solvable boundary integral equation with the generalized ...
Thresholds optimization for one-bit feedback multi-user scheduling
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
We propose a new one-bit feedback scheme with scheduling decision based on the maximum expected weighted rate. We show the concavity of the 2-user case and provide the optimal solution which achieves the maximum weighted ...
A systematic investigation of the bio-toxicity of core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres using zebrafish model
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract In this work, shearing interface coassembly in biliquid phase systems is employed to synthesize biocompatible core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres with uniform size of about 600 nm, perpendicular ...
German metaphysics
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Before 1850 Herman Melville was a fairly typical American male, in that he was rebellious and needed to earn money to live. He had left school early, and by the time he began work on Moby-Dick; or, The Whale he had been a ...
Leveraging “Green” Human Resource Practices to Enable Environmental and Organizational Performance: Evidence from the Qatari Oil and Gas Industry
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the theoretically important role of green human resource management (HRM), relatively little research has been discovered so far about this role particularly in the Oil and Gas industry. We contribute to fill this ...
Energy allocation optimization for AF multi-hop in a cognitive radio system
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, novel optimal energy allocation schemes for the secondary users in an amplify-and-forward multi-hop underlay cognitive network are proposed. The optimization problem is formulated as a maximization of the ...
