Power system frequency estimation based on simulated annealing. Part I: A constant frequency study
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2003 , Article)
In this paper a new algorithm based on Simulated Annealing (SA) method is used to estimate the signal parameters of a system steady power system, having a constant frequency during data window size. The proposed algorithm ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
Optimal Determination of Respiratory Airflow Patterns for a General Multicompartment Lung Mechanics System with Nonlinear Resistance and Compliance Parameters
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we develop a framework for determining optimal respiratory airflow patterns for a multicompartment lung mechanics system with nonlinear resistance and compliance parameters. First, a nonlinear multicompartment ...
A dynamic MOPSO algorithm for multiobjective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, a dynamic multiobjective particle swarm optimization (DMOPSO) method is presented for the optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs). The main goal of the design is to minimize simultaneously ...
Hybrid radio resource allocation and interference coordination for type 1a-relayed long term evolution uplink
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Article)
Relay technology has been included in long term evolution (LTE) cellular system through 3GPP Release 10. Relay-based LTE cellular system is one of the most promising technologies to enhance the throughput and coverage of ...
Optimizing postdisaster reconstruction planning for damaged transportation networks
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2009 , Article)
The limited availability of reconstruction resources is one of the main challenges that often confront postdisaster recovery of damaged transportation networks. This requires an effective and efficient deployment and ...
Training Radial Basis Function Neural Networks for Classification via Class-Specific Clustering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
In training radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs), the locations of Gaussian neurons are commonly determined by clustering. Training inputs can be clustered on a fully unsupervised manner (input clustering), or ...
Cooling vest with optimized PCM arrangement targeting torso sensitive areas that trigger comfort when cooled for improving human comfort in hot conditions
(
