Effect of stator winding connection of five-phase induction machines on torque ripples under open line condition
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
One of the main challenges in designing high-power drive systems is the quality of the developed torque. High-torque-ripple magnitudes result in serious vibration and acoustic noise problems that affect the lifetime of a ...

Smart plaster composites were manufactured by mixing plaster with different amounts of Micronal? DS5001X microcapsules containing a paraffin mixture with a melting point of 26 �C to develop new construction materials with ...
Cognitive Radio Networks with Probabilistic Relaying: Stable Throughput and Delay Tradeoffs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper studies fundamental throughput and delay tradeoffs in cognitive radio systems with cooperative secondary users. We focus on randomized cooperative policies, whereby the secondary user (SU) serves either its own ...
Selective removal of dibenzothiophene from commercial diesel using manganese dioxide-modified activated carbon: A kinetic study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
With a total concentration of 7055 mgS/kgfuel, the content of organosulphur compounds (OSCs) in local diesel is 20 times higher than the regulated value. Analysis revealed that 30% of OSC is originated from dibenzothiophene ...
