The impact of authentic complex engineering design experience for k-12 students on 21st century attributes and perceptions towards STEM fields (Evaluation, Strand 3)
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies showed that embedding engineering at K-12 level has a positive impact on stimulating interest in- and improving learning outcomes of science and mathematics, and development of 21st Century skills. Engineering ...
Optimization of collaborative spectrum sensing with limited time resource
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource ...
Hardware acceleration of a dielectrophoresis system for achieving a single-neuron-per-electrode arrangement in microelectrode arrays
(
UK Simulation Society
, 2015 , Article)
This paper describes an image processing algorithm and its efficient architecture. The proposed architecture is used to process images of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) and micro-wells captured by a microscope camera in a ...
Interference cancellation through interference alignment for downlink of cognitive cellular networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2015 , Article)
Interference cancellation through interference alignment (IA) at the downlink of cognitive cellular networks is proposed. IA helps the spatial resources to be shared among primary and secondary cells, and thus it can provide ...
Enhancement of the extracted maximum power of PV array during partial shading using switched PV-based system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a switched PV approach to enhance the extracted maximum power from PV array during partial shading condition. The proposed system is simple and cost effective. However, it may provide lower power ...
Ultrahigh Aspect Ratio Copper-Nanowire-Based Hybrid Transparent Conductive Electrodes with PEDOT:PSS and Reduced Graphene Oxide Exhibiting Reduced Surface Roughness and Improved Stability
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Copper nanowires (CuNWs) with ultrahigh aspect ratio are synthesized with a solution process and spray-coated onto select substrates to fabricate transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). Different annealing methods are ...
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 ...
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 ...
Centralized-decentralized RB allocation based on genetic algorithm and coordination over X2 interface in LTE uplink
(
VDE Verlag GmbH
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a method for resource block allocation for the LTE uplink system. It aims to minimize the inter-cell interference and maximize the channel capacity. The genetic algorithm is used to come up with ...
