An improved method for nonstationary signals components extraction based on the ICI rule
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an improved adaptive algorithm for components localization and extraction from a noisy multicomponent signal time-frequency distribution (TFD). The algorithm, based on the intersection of confidence ...
Logic programs with ordered disjunction: First-order semantics and expressiveness
(
AAAI Publications
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Logic programs with ordered disjunction (LPODs) (Brewka 2002) generalize normal logic programs by combining alternative and ranked options in the heads of rules. It has been showed that LPODs are useful in a number of areas ...
Comparison of SimTraffic and VISSIM Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools in Modeling Roundabouts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Abstract SimTraffic and VISSIM are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modeling arterial roads with signalized intersections and roundabouts. This study compares the performance of the two simulation ...
Nanocomposite Membranes of Silica and Polysulfone for Improved Gas Permeation
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Polysulfone-Silica mixed matrix hybrid membranes have been prepared by incorporating silicon dioxide nanoparticles with average particle size of 136 nm. Two types of polysulfone-silica nanocomposite membranes were prepared ...
Optimum design of haptic seat for driving simulator
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This work aims to design and develop an optimal vibrotactile seat to provide a high level of satisfaction to the driver. The main critical design parameters were considered and experiments were conducted to investigate the ...
Association rule mining on five years of motor vehicle crashes
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Every year, road accidents kill more than a million people and injure more than 20 million worldwide. This paper aims to offer guidance on road safety and create awareness by pinpointing the major causes of traffic accidents. ...
Regional Well-to-Wheel Carbon, Energy, and Water Footprint Analysis of Electric Vehicles
(
Atlantis Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Adoption of alternative vehicle technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have the potential of reducing some of the environmental impacts ...
Metal-oxide nanotubes functional material tailored for membrane water/wastewater treatment
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Titanium Dioxide Nano-Tubes (TNTs) synthesized by hydrothermal method were used to prepare new polysulfone thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes. The TFN membranes contained different TNTs proportions (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 ...
Behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete using steel slag coarse aggregate produced in Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The state of Qatar suffers from the shortage of natural resources needed for concrete production. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of using by-product recycled materials as aggregates to maintain ...
Development of a mobile application for manual traffic counts
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The use of technology in performing traffic counts has become widely used by many transportation agencies and private sectors. Different technologies have been employed to perform such counts, such as inductive loops, image ...
