Fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors by obstacle dielectrophoresis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) is currently believed to be an efficient biological treatment for reusing and recovering wastewater to extenuate the ever increasing water scarcity crisis. To mitigate the main problem, ...
Empowering Technology Enabled Care Using IoT and Smart Devices: A Review
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Designing power aware wearable devices is the main key in building compact size autonomous smart devices to successfully connect health Internet of things solutions. With their ability to perform tasks ranging from simple ...
Role of mast cells and basophils in pruritus
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2018 , Article Review)
To protect our body systems, there is a constant interactive conversation between the skin nervous and immune system. Important elements of this conversation in the skin include mast cells, basophils, and sensory nerve ...
Characterization and application of FRCM as a strengthening material for shear-critical RC beams
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems in shear-strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. Three types of FRCM systems were considered, namely, polyparaphenylene ...
New inverting modified CUK converter configurations with switched inductor (MCCSI) for high-voltage/low-current renewable applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Inverting Modified CUK Converter with Switched Inductor (MCCSI) configurations are articulated in the paper for high-voltage and low-current renewable energy applications. Based on the Switched Inductor (SI) position in ...
COACT: a query interface language for collaborative databases
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Data curation activities in collaborative databases mandate that collaborators interact until they converge and agree on the content of their data. In a previous work, we presented a cloud-based collaborative database ...
Nonlinear stochastic drillstrings vibrations: Parametric study for stick-slip suppression
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Unstable vibrations caused by the transition between static and kinetic frictions produces stick-slip motions which is one of the primary causes of poor drilling efficiency and mechanism failure in the drilling process. ...
No longer locally extinct? Tracing the origins of a lion (Panthera leo) living in Gabon
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Lions (Panthera leo) are of particular conservation concern due to evidence of recent, widespread population declines in what has hitherto been seen as a common species, robust to anthropogenic disturbance. Here we use ...
Understanding In-App Ads and Detecting Hidden Attacks through the Mobile App-Web Interface
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Mobile users are increasingly becoming targets of malware infections and scams. In order to curb such attacks it is important to know how these attacks originate. We take a previously unexplored step in this direction. ...
Modified transformerless dual buck inverter with improved lifetime for PV applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The Dual Buck Inverter (DBI) possesses no shoot-through concerns and it can improve the efficiency by utilizing power MOSFETs. This is because at accidentally triggered shoot-through states; two inductors are in-parallel ...
