Using geodesic space density gradients for network community detection
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2017 , Article)
Many real world complex systems naturally map to network data structures instead of geometric spaces because the only available information is the presence or absence of a link between two entities in the system. To enable ...
Long-term performance analysis and power prediction of PV technology in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
?Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in GCC?- the term seems convincing to many solar PV industries due to high solar exposure in GCC region. However, long-term effects such as dust accumulation and seasonal variation are major ...
Linear stability analysis of finite length journal bearings in laminar and turbulent regimes
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Dynamic coefficients of a finite length journal bearing are numerically calculated under laminar and turbulent regimes based on Ng-Pan-Elrod and Constantinescu models. Linear stability charts of a flexible rotor supported ...
Reconfigurable swarm robots for structural health monitoring: a brief review
(
Springer
, 2017 , Article)
Autonomous monitoring of infrastructure systems offers a promising alternative to manual inspection techniques which are mostly tedious, expensive and prone to error. Robot-based autonomous monitoring systems not only ...
Collapse behavior of thin-walled corrugated tapered tubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Thin-walled structures have been widely used in energy absorption and safety applications such as automotive, due to their lightweight and progressive folding modes. This work studies the collapse behavior and energy ...
Structural properties, crystal quality and growth modes of MOCVD-grown AlN with TMAl pretreatment of sapphire substrate
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The growth of high quality AlN epitaxial films relies on precise control of the initial growth stages. In this work, we examined the influence of the trimethylaluminum (TMAl) pretreatment of sapphire substrates on the ...
Vertical zonation and functional diversity of fish assemblages revealed by ROV videos at oil platforms in The Gulf
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
An assessment of vertical distribution, diel migration, taxonomic and functional diversity of fishes was carried out at offshore platforms in The (Arabian-Iranian-Persian) Gulf. Video footage was recorded at the Al Shaheen ...
Total temporomandibular joint replacement prostheses: a systematic review and bias-adjusted meta-analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the present study was to determine which prosthesis has resulted in the best outcomes after total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR). A comprehensive electronic search was undertaken in September 2015. ...
A Bayesian Approach for LPV Model Identification and Its Application to Complex Processes
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Obtaining mathematical models that can accurately describe nonlinear dynamics of complex processes and be further used for model-based control design is a challenging task. In this brief, a Bayesian approach is introduced ...
Mapping the Industrial Perception of Delay Data Through Importance Rating
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The construction industry is struggling with several recorded incidents of delay due to improper planning and/or implementation of required construction measures. The common conclusion by many researchers worldwide is that ...
