Processing and characterization of palm fiber-polypropylene composites
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Composites of palm fiber and polypropylene were compounded using a mixing device at various temperatures, mixing times, and mixing intensities. Two mixing options were utilized. Either the mixing device was mounted with a ...
Automatic handedness detection from off-line handwriting
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In forensics, the handedness detection or the classification of writers into left or right-handed helps investigators focusing more on a certain category of suspects. However, only a few studies have been carried out in ...
Modeling security importance and preferences of software services
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a modeling framework on how to specify security preferences and importance of software services, and compute a quantifiable value. Our approach advocates for an automatic calculation of the results of ...
Skills of engineers in knowledge based economies: A comprehensive literature review, and model development
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. In this paper, authors report on a systematic literature review on this issue. Findings of the review are spanned over two ...
Detection of perinatal hypoxia using time-frequency analysis of heart rate variability signals
(2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a time-frequency approach to detect perinatal hypoxia by characterizing the nonstationary nature of heart rate variability (HRV) signals. Quadratic time-frequency distributions (TFDs) are used to represent ...
Simple voltage regulation method for smart grid applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The complexity of power systems and the change of demand load at the consumer make it necessary to control the voltage to avoid any unnecessary voltage drop beyond the limits allowed within the international standards and ...
Sparsifying dictionary analysis for FIR MIMO channel-shortening equalizers
(
IEEE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a general framework that transforms the problems of designing sparse finite-impulse response channel-shortening equalizers and target impulse response filters for multiple antenna systems into the ...
An energy saving mechanism based on vacation queuing theory in data center networks
(
Springer
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
To satisfy the growing need for computing resources, data centers consume a huge amount of power which raises serious concerns regarding the scale of the energy consumption and wastage. One of the important reasons for ...
SFET-based multiple antenna spectrum sensing using the second order moments of eigenvalues
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a new detector for multiantenna spectrum sensing in cognitive radios (CR) by exploiting the Separating Function Estimation Test (SFET) framework. Specifically, we consider a blind scenario for ...
Automated knowledge discovery in facility layout planning
(
International Business Information Management Association, IBIMA
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a novel methodology for facilities layout planning and optimization in which fitness evaluation of layout alternatives is done in an automated manner using an artificial neural network trained to user ...
