Simulation of large capacity MSF brine circulation plants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2006 , Article)
New multistage flashing desalination units (MSF) are being constructed with large capacity that may vary from 50,000 to 75,000 m3/d. This is almost 2–3 times the conventional unit capacity of 27,000–32,000 m3/d, which were ...
Relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed transmission power nodes
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
Underlay cognitive networks operate simultaneously with primary networks satisfying stringent interference constraints, which reduces their transmission power and coverage area. To reach remote destinations, secondary ...
A Model-driven Approach to the development of a PBL Script Editor
(
Global Chinese Conference on Computers in Education (GCCCE)
, 2013 , Article)
Designing a pedagogically sound and technically executable collaboration script is a highly complex,
time-consuming and error-prone task. This paper presents a model-driven approach to enable practitioners to design
online ...
Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
A new approach of clustering based machine-learning algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
Machine-learning research is to study and apply the computer modeling of learning processes in their multiple manifestations, which facilitate the development of intelligent system. In this paper, we have introduced a ...
Cooperative Q-learning techniques for distributed online power allocation in femtocell networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we address the problem of distributed interference management of femtocells that share the same frequency band with macrocells using distributed multi-agent Q-learning. We formulate and solve two problems ...
Verifying cloud service-level agreement by a third-party auditor
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...
Thermal dimensional stability of isotropic polyoxymethylene
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 1991 , Article)
A parametric mapping analysis of the effect of various structural and morphological parameters on the thermal dimensional stability of polyoxymethylene is highlighted. The molecular composites model is found to describe ...
Genetic algorithm-based multi-objective model for scheduling of linear construction projects
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2007 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based multi-objective optimization model for the scheduling of linear construction projects. The model allows construction planners to generate and evaluate optimal/near-optimal ...
A Pyramidal Security Model for Large-Scale Group-Oriented Computing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: The Key Management Study
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), many applications require group-oriented computing among a large number of nodes in an adversarial environment. To deploy these large-scale cooperative applications, secure multicast ...
