An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
Effectiveness of pyrrolidinium based ionic liquids in flow assurance: Preventing hydrates formation in offshore sub-sea pipelines
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The formation of hydrates within the offshore subsea pipelines is a major challenge to flow assurance in oil and gas industry. Annually, the industry spends large amount of money on thermodynamic inhibitors like methanol ...
Optimal power consumption based on new power spectral efficiency metric for wireless cellular networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we introduce a new power spectral efficiency (PSE) metric, to quantify the spectral efficiency and the total required power to cover a certain area with a predefined received signal quality. This metric ...
The elasticity of patent activities with respect to R&D-performing sectors: An empirical study on high-income OECD countries
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This study examines the impact of R&D performing sectors, business, higher education, and government, on patent activities in 14 high income OECD countries using dynamic panel data model. In addition, the paper investigates ...
Optimization of collaborative spectrum sensing with limited time resource
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource ...
Removal of volatile organic sulphur compounds by solar advanced oxidation technologies and bioprocesses oxidation treatment of volatile organic sulphur compounds
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The degradations of volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) by advanced oxidation technology, solar advanced oxidation technology, biological treatment, and the combination of solar advanced oxidation technology and ...
A simulation-optimization approach for robust aircraft routing
(
Universite de Lorraine
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to pro-actively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ...
Optimal cooperative cognitive relaying and spectrum access for an energy harvesting cognitive radio: Reinforcement learning approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider a cognitive setting under the context of cooperative communications, where the cognitive radio (CR) user is assumed to be a self-organized relay for the network. The CR user and the primary user ...
Dynamic voltage restorer for voltage sag mitigation in oil & gas industry
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The objective of this paper is to design and implement an efficient and economical dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) to compensate for voltage sag conditions in oil and gas industry. In a power distribution system or plant ...
A Bayesian approach for model identification of LPV systems with uncertain scheduling variables
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a Gaussian Process (GP) based Bayesian method that takes into account the effect of additive noise on the scheduling variables for identification of linear parameter-varying (LPV) models in input-output ...
