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 ...
Centralized-decentralized RB allocation based on genetic algorithm and coordination over X2 interface in LTE uplink
(
VDE Verlag GmbH
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a method for resource block allocation for the LTE uplink system. It aims to minimize the inter-cell interference and maximize the channel capacity. The genetic algorithm is used to come up with ...
WFlatnet: Introducing wireless in flatnet data center network
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The basic challenge of data centers is how to interconnect a huge number of servers while guaranteeing the performance of the network. Flatnet is a promising data center architecture that has proved its efficiency to connect ...
Implementation of iterative learning control based deadtime compensation for PWM inverters
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Deadtime effects in PWM inverters are nonlinear and depend on the switching frequency of the inverters and the types of power devices, snubber circuits, and loads. Several deadtime compensation methods were proposed in the ...
Geometrical approach for wind farm symmetrical layout design optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Wind farm layout orientation plays an important factor to reduce the total wake loss and hence increase the capacity factor of the wind farm. Different wind farms layout design optimization techniques are widely used and ...
Modelling, analysis and performance improvement of an SRU's access request queue in multi-channel V2I communications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a concise yet comprehensive description of a multi-channel Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication system. Existing mathematical models for such a system overlook some of its essential behavioural ...
Linear parameter-varying control of a copolymerization reactor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper demonstrates the application of the linear parameter-varying (LPV) framework to control a copolymerization reactor. An LPV model representation is first developed for a nonlinear model of the process. The LPV ...
Progressive recovery for cloud-based infrastructure services
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Cloud-based services allow users to outsource their application and infrastructure needs over external datacenter/ networking facilities. However, as these offerings gain traction, there is a pressing need to address ...
A novel two-step metal oxide - Metal sulfate water splitting cycle for the production of solar hydrogen
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of solar H2 production via two-step thermochemical Strontium oxide - Strontium Sulfate (SO-SS) water splitting cycle. The first step belongs to the exothermic oxidation of SrO ...
CO2 capture using aqueous ethylaminoethanol: Study of oxidative degradation
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports oxidative degradation of various aqueous solutions of alkanolamines as an effort to find a suitable replacement for monoethanolamine (MEA). Diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), methyl diethanolamine ...
