Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the main fruit crop found in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. It naturally adapts to the adverse environments of extreme heat and water scarcity and prevents further ...
Multi-Objective Optimization Model for Inspection Scheduling of Sewer Pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
Inspection activities play an important role in the operation and maintenance (O&M) strategy in municipalities. Efficient O&M strategies can help in making informed decisions based on the actual condition of pipelines ...
3-D Placement Schemes of Multiple UAVs in NFP-based Wireless Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose two placement strategies of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in network flying platform (NFP)-based wireless networks. The first strategy is based on a proposed distributed placement ...
Numerical Treatment to a Non-local Parabolic Free Boundary Problem Arising in Financial Bubbles
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we continue to study a non-local free boundary problem arising in financial bubbles. We focus on the parabolic counterpart of the bubble problem and suggest an iterative algorithm which consists of a sequence ...
