Nonlinear stochastic modeling for optimal dispatch of distributed energy resources in active distribution grids including reactive power
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)This paper deals with energy storage system (ESS) in active distribution networks. The purpose is to install ESSs on the grid to minimize network losses. The problem is expressed as an optimization programming to minimize ... -
Nonlinear Suboptimal Tracking Controller Design Using State-Dependent Riccati Equation Technique
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Article)In this brief, a new technique for solving a suboptimal tracking problem for a class of nonlinear dynamical systems is presented. Toward this end, an optimal tracking problem using a discounted cost function is defined and ... -
Nonlinear thermal buckling of axially functionally graded micro and nanobeams
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)In this study, the nonlinear thermal buckling of axially functionally graded (AFG) Euler-Bernoulli micro/nanobeams is analyzed. The Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is used to develop the governing equations of nanobeam ... -
Nonlinear unemployment effects of the inflation tax
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Long-run inflation has nonlinear and state-dependent effects on unemployment, output, and welfare. We show this using a standard monetary search model with two shocks – productivity and monetary – and frictions in both ... -
Nonlinear vibrations of variable thickness curved panels made of multi-scale epoxy/fiberglass/CNT material using Jacobi elliptic functions
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)This article deals with nonlinear vibration study of variable thickness cylindrical panels made of multi-scale composite materials containing epoxy matrix, glass fibers, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The elastic properties ... -
Nonlocal damage modelling in clay/epoxy nanocomposites using a multiscale approach
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)This study proposed a concurrent multiscale method to model damage in clay/epoxy nanocomposites. The method uses a nonlocal damage formulation to regularize the damage model. The multiscale method used, is based on the ... -
Nonlocal strain gradient effects on forced vibrations of porous FG cylindrical nanoshells
( Techno-Press , 2020 , Article)The present paper explores forced vibrational properties of porosity-dependent functionally graded (FG) cylindrical nanoshells exposed to linear-type or triangular-type impulse load via classical shell theory (CST) and ... -
A nonparametric feature for neonatal EEG seizure detection based on a representation of pseudo-periodicity
( Elsevier Ltd , 2011 , Article)Automated methods of neonatal EEG seizure detection attempt to highlight the evolving, stereotypical, pseudo-periodic, nature of EEG seizure while rejecting the nonstationary, modulated, coloured stochastic background in ... -
Nonparametric multivariate covariance chart for monitoring individual observations
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Parametric and nonparametric multivariate control charts that are proven very useful in monitoring the covariance matrix of multivariate normally or “nearly” normally distributed continuous datasets have been proposed in ... -
Nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm for ambient vibration response: Utilizing artificial neural networks and self-organizing maps
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Article)This study presentes a new nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm that integrates self-organizing maps with a pattern-recognition neural network to quantify and locate structural damage. In this algorithm, ... -
Nonphysician Out-of-Hospital Rapid Sequence Intubation Success and Adverse Events: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)Study objective: Rapid sequence intubation performed by nonphysicians such as paramedics or nurses has become increasingly common in many countries; however, concerns have been stated in regard to the safe use and ... -
NONSYNDROMIC HEARING LOSS IN QATAR: THE GENETIC BASIS AND THE DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF GENETIC TESTING
(2022 , Professional Masters Project)Background: Hearing loss is the most predominant sensory defect worldwide with around 8% of cases occurring in children. Approximately 66% of childhood-onset hearing loss cases are attributed to genetic factors. The ... -
Norfloxacin loaded lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles for oral administration: Fabrication, characterization, in silico modelling and toxicity evaluation
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Norfloxacin (NOR), widely employed as an anti-bacterial drug, has poor oral bioavailability. Nano based drug delivery systems are widely used to overcome the existing oral bioavailability challenges. Lipid–Polymer Hybrid ... -
Normative account of Islamic bioethics in end-of-life care
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2022 , Article)This article addresses the bioethical challenges raised by end-of-life care (EoLC) from the perspective of Islamic normativity. Rejecting positivist positions, it argues for the use of a flexible approach midway between a ... -
Normative Islam, prejudice and women leaders: why do Arab women leaders suffer?
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)The main aim of this study is to compare prejudicial practices against women leaders with egalitarian Islamic guidelines and current efforts towards achieving gender equality. The study also aims to highlight and offer new ...
