Study of the effects of dust, relative humidity, and temperature on solar PV performance in Doha: Comparison between monocrystalline and amorphous PVS
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
The sensitivity of various solar photovoltaic technologies to dust, temperature, and relative humidity is investigated for Doha's environment. Results obtained show that monocrystalline photovoltaics (PVs) have efficiencies ...
Automatic number plate recognition system on an ARM-DSP and FPGA heterogeneous SoC platforms
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The ARM-DSP based ANPR system described is designed for commercial applications where the need for low power, low prices and real time systems is vital. A single FPGA can also be added as a plug-in to the ARM-DSP based ...
Probabilistic qualitative preference matching in long-term IaaS composition
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We propose a qualitative similarity measure approach to select an optimal set of probabilistic Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) requests according to the provider's probabilistic preferences over a long-term period. The ...
Design and implementation of credit-based resource allocation protocol for DSA systems
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper designs, implements, and evaluates an efficient dynamic spectrum access (DSA) protocol for cognitive radio networks. The proposed protocol relies on the concept of credit value to allocate resources among users ...

Thermal comfort standards are required to provide comfortable indoor condition which has a positive effect on the occupant. However, the Predicted Mean Vote – Percentage People Dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model which is used ...
Managing Uncertain Industrial Flares during Abnormal Process Operations using an Integrated Optimization and Monte Carlo Simulation Approach
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
In this work, an integrated optimization framework with Monte Carlo (MC) simulation techniques is suggested for the systematic synthesis of energy alternative tools, such as cogeneration (COGEN) systems, which can effectively ...
Principles of time-frequency feature extraction for change detection in non-stationary signals: Applications to newborn EEG abnormality detection
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This paper considers the general problem of detecting change in non-stationary signals using features observed in the time-frequency (t,f) domain, obtained using a class of quadratic time-frequency distributions (QTFDs). ...
