Factors pertaining to academic probation of engineering students: A case study
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Ensuring normal progression of students isof paramount importance due to its financial implications in a higher education institution. An indicator that reflects how well an institution is doing in this respect is in the ...
Quasi two-level operation of modular multilevel converter for use in a high-power DC transformer with DC fault isolation capability
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
DC fault protection is one challenge impeding the development of multiterminal dc grids. The absence of manufacturing and operational standards has led to many point-to-point HVDC links built at different voltage levels, ...
Transient gas turbine performance diagnostics through nonlinear adaptation of compressor and turbine maps
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Gas turbines are faced with new challenges of increasing flexibility in their operation while reducing their life cycle costs, leading to new research priorities and challenges. One of these challenges involves the ...
Purpose of the book and editorial perspectives
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Engineering and engineering education play an essential role in the Middle East. Global debates regarding roles of engineering and required transformations in engineering education have been extensive during the past few ...
ShakeMe: Key generation from shared motion
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Devices equipped with accelerometer sensors such as today's mobile devices can make use of motion to exchange information. A typical example for shared motion is shaking of two devices which are held together in one hand. ...
Energy in smart grid: Strategies and technologies for efficiency enhancement
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Incorporating advanced software and hardware technologies, to create a two way electricity and information flow, is forming the concept of the smart grid (SG). In an SG the energy delivery and control not only autonomous ...
An IV-SVM-based approach for identification of state-space LPV models under generic noise conditions
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a nonparametric identification method for state-space linear parameter-varying (LPV) models using a modified support vector machine (SVM) approach. While most LPV identification schemes in the state-space ...
Selective harmonic elimination for quasi seven-level operation of cascaded-type multilevel converters with unequal DC sources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Generally, selective harmonic elimination (SHE) complexity for multilevel converters increases with the increase in number of levels. In this paper, an approach for multilevel converters' SHE is introduced. This approach ...
An Improved Fault Tolerant Five-Phase Induction Machine Using A Combined Star/Pentagon Single Layer Stator Winding Connection
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
One of the main merits offered by multiphase machines is their high fault-tolerant capability. Literature has demonstrated that the performance of multiphase induction machines under fault conditions is affected by the ...
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 ...
