Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Flywheels are one of the oldest and most popular energy storage media owing to the simplicity of storing kinetic energy in a rotating mass. Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) can be used in different applications, for ...
Multi-component instantaneous frequency estimation using locally adaptive directional time frequency distributions
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper presents a locally adaptive time-frequency (t,f) method for estimating the instantaneous frequency (IF) of multi-component signals. A high-resolution adaptive directional time-frequency distribution (ADTFD) is ...
Comments on: "Fault detection for continuous-time switched systems under asynchronous switching"
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this note, a defect occurred in Theorem 1 in the study Du et al. (Int. J. Robust Nonlinear Control 2013; doi: 10.1002/rnc.2961) is addressed. Additionally, the correction of the theorem is presented.
A Mechanistic Neural Field Theory of How Anesthesia Suppresses Consciousness: Synaptic Drive Dynamics, Bifurcations, Attractors, and Partial State Equipartitioning
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
With the advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, and neurochemistry there has been impressive progress in understanding the molecular properties of anesthetic agents. However, there has been little focus on how 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 ...
Beamforming OFDM Performance under Joint Phase Noise and I/Q Imbalance
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
Phase noise (PHN) and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance are two major RF impairments in direct-conversion wireless transceivers. Beamforming and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) schemes have been adopted ...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Sultanate of Oman
(
Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Worldwide, many countries are being affected by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Sultanate of Oman is no exception. In Oman, both oil- and natural-gas-related activities have the most important shares of the nation's ...
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 ...
A Droop Control Design for Multiterminal HVDC of Offshore Wind Farms With Three-Wire Bipolar Transmission Lines
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
Converting existing ac transmission lines to an extended multiterminal three-wire bipolar HVDC system can be considered a cost-effective way to interconnect dispersed offshore wind farms to onshore ac grids instead of ...
An Experimental Performance Evaluation and Compatibility Study of the Bluetooth Low Energy Based Platform for ECG Monitoring in WBANs
(
SAGE publications
, 2015 , Article)
A long term healthcare monitoring system requires battery operated devices with low-power technologies. Researchers tried to adapt various short-range technologies for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) in ubiquitous ...
