There is an essential need for a systemized and objective site safety performance measurement method. The method also needs to cover the positive aspects of safety management perspectives considering that traditional methods ...
Maximum likelihood detection of precoded SFBC in frequency-selective fading channels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we derive the maximum likeli-hood detector (MLD) for precoded space-frequency block coded (SFBC) systems where orthogonal frequency divi-sion multiplexing (OFDM) is incorporated. The obtained results reveal ...
Common mode voltage reduction technique in a three-to-three phase indirect matrix converter
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, common mode voltage (CMV) reduction using space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) technique is proposed for a three-phase induction motor drive fed by a three-to-three phase indirect matrix converter ...
Simulation-optimization framework for synthesis and design of natural gas downstream utilization networks

MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Many potential diversification and conversion options are available for utilization of natural gas resources, and several design configurations and technology choices exist for conversion of natural gas to value-added ...
Studies on the Electrical Properties of Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Poly (4-Styrene Sulfonic Acid) and Polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Composites
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend composite films were prepared using colloidal blending technique at various concentrations of GO ...
Effects of lunar phases on short-term, explosive physical performance among young trained athletes
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Beliefs that lunar phases affect human physiology started in ancient times. Research has recently revealed that a physical fitness index increased in sedentary students at the new moon (NM) and full moon (FM) compared to ...
Efficient hardware implementation of the ?1-Regularized least squares for IoT edge computing

, 2018 , Conference Paper)
As the use of compressed sensing (CS) in internet of things (IoT) wearable nodes increases, the need for high performance and low power CS reconstruction algorithms for the battery powered IoT Edge Devices also increases. ...
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 ...
Adaptive distributed fault diagnosis design for large-scale networks of nonlinear systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The main aim of this paper is to synthesize a distributed adaptive sliding mode observer scheme for fault diagnosis of large-scale nonlinear dynamical networks. Each node dynamics includes both linear and nonlinear terms ...
