Text categorization using weighted hyper rectangular keyword extraction
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Text categorization is an important research field that finds many applications nowadays. It is usually performed in two steps: feature extraction and classification. In the feature extraction step, discriminating keywords ...
Power control of grid-connected high-gain boost full-bridge modular multilevel converter
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Conventional Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) with half-bridge submodules (HB-SMs) can be used for gird-integration of renewable energy sources, but with limited voltage gain. To elevate the generated ac output voltage ...
Leveraging “Green” Human Resource Practices to Enable Environmental and Organizational Performance: Evidence from the Qatari Oil and Gas Industry
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the theoretically important role of green human resource management (HRM), relatively little research has been discovered so far about this role particularly in the Oil and Gas industry. We contribute to fill this ...
Epinephrine in anaphylaxis: Preclinical study of pharmacokinetics after sublingual administration of taste-masked tablets for potential pediatric use
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Epinephrine is a life-saving treatment in anaphylaxis. In community settings, a first-aid dose of epinephrine is injected from an auto-injector (EAI). Needle phobia highly contributes to EAI underuse, leading to ...
Dynamic workload patterns prediction for proactive auto-scaling of web applications
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
Proactive auto-scaling methods dynamically manage the resources for an application according to the current and future load predictions to preserve the desired performance at a reduced cost. However, auto-scaling web ...
Optimal control of coupled parabolic–hyperbolic non-autonomous PDEs: infinite-dimensional state-space approach
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper deals with the design of an optimal state-feedback linear-quadratic (LQ) controller for a system of coupled parabolic–hypebolic non-autonomous partial differential equations (PDEs). The infinite-dimensional state ...
Hierarchically Patterned Elastomeric and Thermoplastic Polymer Films through Nanoimprinting and Ultraviolet Light Exposure
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
The surface relief structure of polymer films over large areas can be controlled by combining nanoscale imprinting and microscale ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) radiation, resulting in hierarchical structured surfaces. First, ...
Energy and Bursty Packet Loss Tradeoff Over Fading Channels: A System-Level Model
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Energy efficiency and quality of service (QoS) guarantees are the key design goals for the 5G wireless communication systems. In this context, we discuss a multiuser scheduling scheme over fading channels for loss tolerant ...
Sagittal plane waves in infinitely periodic multilayered composites composed of alternating viscoelastic and elastic solids
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2018 , Article)
In order to design phononic crystals whose band-gaps are located in low-frequency ranges, researchers commonly adopt low stiffness polymeric materials as key constituents and exploit the high impedance mismatch between ...
Enhanced redirected walking algorithm
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The redirected walking algorithm (RDW) is a locomotion technique that gives the user the perception of walking in larger or infinite virtual environment (VE) within small and limited tracking area. The available approaches ...
