A Modular High-Voltage Pulse-Generator with Sequential Charging for Water Treatment Applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
High-voltage pulse-generators can be used effectively for bacterial decontamination in water treatment applications. Applying a pulsed electric field to the infected water sample guarantees killing of harmful germs and ...
An intelligent system for the climate control and energy savings in agricultural greenhouses
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
A greenhouse for crop production is a complex thermodynamic system where the indoor temperature and the humidity conditions have a great impact on the crop yields. This system can be considered a multivariable input output ...
Organizational behavior attributes and sustainable construction adoption: An econometric analysis using data from Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
Despite the efforts of governments to promote sustainable construction practices, the decision to adopt sustainability practices largely falls upon the firms involved in construction projects. This paper presents an ...
Robust Adaptive Observer-Based Model Predictive Control for Multilevel Flying Capacitors Inverter
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper presents an adaptive observer (AO)-based model predictive control (MPC) for a multilevel flying capacitors inverter (FCI). The proposed system consists of a midpoint dc-link three-cell four-level FCI feeding an ...
OCR based feature extraction and template matching algorithms for Qatari number plate
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
There are several algorithms and methods that could be applied to perform the character recognition stage of an automatic number plate recognition system; however, the constraints of having a high recognition rate and ...
HD Qatari ANPR system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recently, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems have become widely used in safety, security, and commercial aspects. The whole ANPR system is based on three main stages: Number Plate Localization (NPL), Character ...
An effective Model Predictive Control for grid connected Packed U Cells multilevel inverter
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) for grid-tied Packed U Cells (PUC) multilevel inverter. The system under study consists of a single-phase 3-cell PUC inverter connected to the grid through filtering ...
A Distributed Control Reconfiguration and Accommodation for Consensus Achievement of Multiagent Systems Subject to Actuator Faults
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper tackles the development of distributed control reconfiguration and fault accommodation strategies for consensus achievement in multiagent systems in the presence of faulty agents whose actuators are unable to ...
A general framework for the design and analysis of sparse FIR linear equalizers
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Complexity of linear finite-impulse-response (FIR) equalizers is proportional to the square of the number of nonzero taps in the filter. This makes equalization of channels with long impulse responses using either zero-forcing ...
Heart sound anomaly and quality detection using ensemble of neural networks without segmentation
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal is used as a diagnostic test in ambulatory monitoring in order to evaluate the heart hemodynamic status and to detect a cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to develop an ...
