Training Radial Basis Function Neural Networks for Classification via Class-Specific Clustering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
In training radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs), the locations of Gaussian neurons are commonly determined by clustering. Training inputs can be clustered on a fully unsupervised manner (input clustering), or ...
Using flipped classroom approach to teach computer programming
(
IEEE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Flipped classroom approach has been increasingly adopted in higher institutions. Although this approach has many advantages, there are also many challenges that should be considered. In this paper, we discuss the suitability ...
Application of Fatty Acid Based Phase-Change Material to Reduce Energy Consumption from Roofs of Buildings
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Article)
Buildings account for a significant portion of the total energy consumption in the U.S., especially the energy-inefficient commercial building sector. As part of the future path toward realizing net zero energy buildings, ...
Distribution-Free Adaptive Step-Down Procedure for Fault Identification
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Identifying the faulty variables of the out-of-control signal in high-dimensional process is an important problem for quality control areas. Even though there have been several procedures for fault variable identifications, ...
Unsupervised adaptive microblog filtering for broad dynamic topics
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Information filtering has been a major task of study in the field of information retrieval (IR) for a long time, focusing on filtering well-formed documents such as news articles. Recently, more interest was directed towards ...
A Flywheel Energy Storage System for Fault Ride Through Support of Grid-Connected VSC HVDC-Based Offshore Wind Farms
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Voltage source converter (VSC)-based high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission is considered the future of offshore power transmission. This paper aims at providing a reliable VSC-HVDC transmission system architecture between ...
Gas Hydrate Prevention and Flow Assurance by Using Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Synergent Compounds: Combined Kinetics and Thermodynamic Approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
The thermodynamic and kinetic hydrates inhibition effects of addition of synergents poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and vinyl caprolactum (VCAP) with ionic liquids 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium chloride [PMPy][Cl] and ...
IoT for smart city services: Lifecycle approach
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
"Internet of Things" (IoT) and "Smart City" are widely recognized to address the complexity of modern city operation. Concentration of population, scarcity of resources and environmental concerns are the main challenges ...
Progressive recovery for network virtualization after large-scale disasters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Network virtualization allows users to build cusomized interconnected storage/computing configurations for their business needs. Today this capability is being widely used to improve the scalability and reliability of ...
Event-triggered fault detection and isolation for discrete-time linear systems
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the problem of event-triggered fault detection and isolation (FDI) for discrete-time linear time invariant systems is considered. Using a Leunberger observer as the residual generator, a multi-objective ...
