Defect based risk assessment model for prioritizing inspection of sewer pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In presence of financial constraints and dire need for inspecting deteriorated sewer pipelines, inspection prioritization tools are required. This paper presents a defect based risk assessment model for prioritizing ...
Modified transformerless dual buck inverter with improved lifetime for PV applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The Dual Buck Inverter (DBI) possesses no shoot-through concerns and it can improve the efficiency by utilizing power MOSFETs. This is because at accidentally triggered shoot-through states; two inductors are in-parallel ...
Design and analysis of high-gain medium-voltage DC-DC converters for high-power PV applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Medium-Voltage (MV) DC grids for collecting and integrating Photovoltaic (PV) systems offer an effective solution to overcome the problems introduced due to AC grid. The direct conversion of the PV power to MV DC grid ...
Enhanced redirected walking algorithm
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The redirected walking algorithm (RDW) is a locomotion technique that gives the user the perception of walking in larger or infinite virtual environment (VE) within small and limited tracking area. The available approaches ...

Online news media provides aggregated news and stories from different sources all over the world and up-to-date news coverage. The main goal of this study is to find a solution that is considered as a homogeneous source ...
Studies on the Mechanical, Morphological and Electrical Properties of Highly Dispersible Graphene Oxide Reinforced Polypyrrole and Polyvinylalcohol Blend Composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present study, water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO) composite films were prepared via colloidal blending method at different GO loadings varying from 0 – 3 wt%. The dispersion ...
Secure two-user AF relaying networks using cooperative jamming
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate secure two-user AF relaying networks based on a destination assisted cooperative jamming (DACJ). We consider two sources, one destination, one eavesdropper and multiple amplify-and-forwards ...
