Self-Imaging based Dispersion Compensation: Performance and Tolerance of the System
(
IEEE
, 2007 , Article)
Transmitting ultra wideband (UWB) pulse signals over optical fiber is a certain sign of chromatic dispersion (CD) existence. CD is a serious problem in optical transmission because the velocity of light depends on the ...
Contextual Preparation of Future Engineers: A non-Western Perspective
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
The advent of technological communication and modern travel has increased the likelihood that graduates from engineering programs will work in environments containing integrated cultures, customs, and languages. One may ...
Maintaining the genetic health of putative Barbary lions in captivity: an analysis of Moroccan Royal Lions
(
Springer Berlin / Heidelberg
, 2009 , Article)
The last representatives of the Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo), once numerous in North Africa but exterminated from the wild by the 1940s, are believed to be the captive lions descended from the Moroccan Royal Collection, ...
Representation of Adsorption Data for the Isopropanol-Water System using Neural Network Techniques
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2005 , Article)
Molecular sieves and palm stone, a newly developed bio-based adsorbent, were used to break an azeotropic isopropanol-water system via an adsorptive distillation process. Equilibrium data at different inlet water contents ...
On the estimation of reliabilty function in a Weibull lifetime distribution
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2008 , Article)
The estimation of the reliability function of the Weibull lifetime model is considered in the presence of uncertain prior information (not in the form of prior distribution) on the parameter of interest. This information ...
MASACAD: A multi-agent approach to information customization for the purpose of academic advising of students
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2006 , Article)
The growth and advancement in the Internet and the World Wide Web has led to an explosion in the amount of available information. This staggering amount of information has made it extremely difficult for users to locate ...
Interestingness filtering engine: Mining Bayesian networks for interesting patterns
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, we present a new measure of interestingness to discover interesting patterns based on the user’s background knowledge, represented by a Bayesian network. The new measure (sensitivity measure) captures the ...
A New Low Cost Linear Resolver Converter
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Article)
A new low cost converter topology is proposed for sinusoidal position encoders. The converter enables determination of the angle from the sine and cosine signals of the encoder. When used with resolvers, the implementation ...
Comparison of relaying strategies for cooperative diversity systems with adaptive modulation
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose several relay selection schemes for cooperative diversity systems with adaptive transmission. The proposed schemes are based on dual-hop relaying with multiple relays. We analyze the performance ...
A Resolver Angle Estimator Based on Its Excitation Signal
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
A resolver generates a pair of signals proportional to the sine and cosine of the angular position of its shaft. A new low-cost method for converting the amplitudes of these sine/cosine transducer signals into a measure ...
