Integrating hybrid systems with existing thermal desalinationplants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
In Gulf countries, most power plants are co-generation power desalting plants (CPDP) that generate electric energy and also produce fresh water through the desalination of seawater. This paper provides detailed technical ...
End-to-end outage probability of multihop transmission over lognormal shadowed channels
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals
, 2003 , Article)
End-to-end outage probability evaluation of multihop wireless communication systems over lognormal shadowed channels is presented. Closed-form expression for the end-to-end signal to noise ratio of systems equipped with ...
Characteristics of agent-based hierarchical diff-EDF schedulability over heterogeneous real-time Packet networks
(
EuroJournals Publishing, Inc.
, 2009 , Article)
Packet networks are currently enabling the integration of heterogeneous traffic with a wide range of characteristics that extend from video traffic with stringent QoS requirements to best-effort traffic requiring no ...
A methodology for time-frequency image processing applied to the classification of nonstationary multichannel signals using instantaneous frequency descriptors with application to newborn EEG signals
(
Springer
, 2003 , Article)
This article presents a general methodology for processing non-stationary signals for the purpose of classification and localization. The methodology combines methods adapted from three complementary areas: time-frequency ...
Identification of individual types of harmonic loads in an electric power system bus
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Some buses in a power system feed power to loads that are sources of harmonics. This type of bus is called a complex bus. This paper provides a new application of the constrained least absolute value algorithm (LAV) to ...
Fuzzy linear parameter estimation algorithms: A new formulation
(
Elsevier
, 2002 , Article)
In this paper, we present a new formulation of a fuzzy linear estimation problem as one of the linear programming where the objective is to minimize the spread of the data points, subject to constraints on each measurement ...
Power system frequency estimation based on simulated annealing: A variable frequency model
(
Sharif University of Technology
, 2004 , Article)
This paper presents a new technique for measuring power system frequency, rate of change of frequency and the voltage amplitude and phase angle using the Simulated Annealing (SA) based optimization algorithm. The algorithm ...
Frequency and harmonics evaluation in power networks using fuzzy regression technique
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Article)
A new technique for frequency and harmonic evaluation in power networks is proposed in this paper. This technique is based on fuzzy linear regression and uses the digitized voltage samples, which are fuzzy numbers, to ...
Business process reengineering in UAE public sector: A town planning case study
(
Emerald Group Publishing Limited
, 2007 , Article)
Purpose - To reengineer the applications' processes of the land department of Al-Ain Municipality and to develop an electronic version of the reengineered processes. Design/methodology/approach - The research approach used ...
Handling data uncertainties in event tree analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Event tree analysis (ETA) is an established risk analysis technique to assess likelihood (in a probabilistic context) of an accident. The objective data available to estimate the likelihood is often missing (or sparse), ...
