Mobile wireless sensor networks applied to the survey of water infrastructures
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The paper reports our last advances in the realization of mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs), able to reveal unknown tracks and leakages within underground pipelines used to distribute water. This WSN technology is ...
Joint optimal threshold-based relaying and ML detection in cooperative networks
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Article)
This paper proposes two detection schemes for cooperative networks comprising a source, a relay and a destination. The relay is assumed to operate in a half-duplex mode and it employs decode-and-forward (DF) relaying. The ...
Vibration suppression in metastructures using zigzag inserts optimized by genetic algorithms
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Metastructures are known to provide considerable vibration attenuation for mechanical systems. With the optimization of the internal geometry of metastructures, the suppression performance of the host structure increases. ...
Arabic handwriting recognition using sequential minimal optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Due to the variability of writing styles and to other problems related to the nature of Arabic scripts, the recognition of Arabic handwriting is still awaiting accurate results. Segmentation of Arabic handwritten words ...
Characteristics-based model predictive control of selective catalytic reduction in diesel-powered vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In heavy-duty diesel exhaust systems, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOx to nitrogen to meet environmental regulations. Diesel exhaust after-treatment involves a set of components that are best ...
Optimal utilization of geothermal heat from abandoned oil wells for power generation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Unlike other types of renewable energy, geothermal resources represent a stable energy source because they can be exploited regardless of meteorological conditions. In geothermal systems, heat is exchanged between the ...
Distributed spectrum sensing of correlated observations in cognitive radio networks
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Collaborative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) as one of the most efficient sensing approaches in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) is investigated when the Secondary Users (SUs) observations are assumed to be correlated. ...
Underlay cognitive radio: What is the impact of carrier aggregation and relaying on throughput?
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate joint relay selection and optimal power allocation, as a means to maximize the achievable rate of an underlay cooperative cognitive radio with carrier aggregation, taking into account the ...
The effect of additional statistical side information on multiple antenna spectrum sensing
(2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider the problem of multiple antenna spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radios (CR) when some or all parameters are unknown. The Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR) test is the convectional method to solve ...
Optimization models in emergency logistics: A literature review
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article Review)
Optimization modeling has become a powerful tool to tackle emergency logistics problems since its first adoption in maritime disaster situations in the 1970s. Using techniques of content analysis, this paper reviews ...
