Current status of tissue engineering in the management of severe hypospadias
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Hypospadias, characterized by misplacement of the urinary meatus in the lower side of the penis, is a frequent birth defect in male children. Because of the huge variation in the anatomic presentation of hypospadias, no ...
Solar Thermochemical Hydrogen Production via Terbium Oxide Based Redox Reactions
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2016 , Article)
The computational thermodynamic modeling of the terbium oxide based two-step solar thermochemical water splitting (Tb-WS) cycle is reported. The 1st step of the Tb-WS cycle involves thermal reduction of TbO2 into Tb and ...
Analytic Prioritization of Indoor Routes for Search and Rescue Operations in Hazardous Environments
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Applications to prioritize indoor routes for emergency situations in a complex built facility have been restricted to building simulations and network approaches. These types of applications often failed to account for the ...
Pulse width modulation technique for a three-to-five phase matrix converter with reduced commutations
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
Variable-speed multiphase drive systems have become an increasingly important topics compared with conventional three-phase one due to their distinct advantages. This study presents a new pulse width modulation (PWM) ...
Detection of atrial fibrillation in ECG hand-held devices using a random forest classifier
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is characterized by chaotic electrical impulses in the atria, which leads to irregular heartbeats and can develop blood clots and stroke. Therefore, early detection of AF is crucial for increasing ...
Ground-borne vibrations due to railway traffic in urbanized areas: A numerical study about traffic in trench cross-sections
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Modern cities require efficient mass transportation systems like subway and railway networks. Due to the lack of available space and also due to environmental concerns, it is usually preferable to use the underground space ...
Multiobjective optimization model for scheduling of construction projects under extreme weather
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
Extreme weather significantly impacts construction schedules and costs and can be a source of schedule delays and budget overruns. A multi-objective optimization model, presented herein for the scheduling of construction ...

(
Kassel University Press GmbH
, 2018 , Article)
Overweight and obesity is a situation where a person has stacked too much fat that might affect negatively his/her health. Many people skip doing exercises due to several facts related to the encouragement, health-awareness, ...
Unleashing the secure potential of the wireless physical layer: Secret key generation methods
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Report)
Within the paradigm of physical layer security, a physical layer characteristic is used as a common source of randomness to generate the secret key. This key is then used to encrypt the data to hide information from ...
Palmprint identification using an ensemble of sparse representations
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Among various palmprint identification methods proposed in the literature, sparse representation for classification (SRC) is very attractive offering high accuracy. Although SRC has good discriminative ability, its performance ...
