A Domain Specific Language for Secure Outsourcing of Computation to the Cloud
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Secure outsourcing of computation has gained importance with the proliferation of cloud services. However, existing outsourcing protocol specification languages are mainly suitable for secure multi-party computation. They ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
Melt Processing and Properties of Polyamide 6/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composites
(
ICCCM
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the processing and characterization of Polyamide 6 (PA6) / graphite nanoplatelets
(GNPs) composites is reported. PA6/GNPs composites were prepared by melt-mixing using an
industrial, co-rotating, intermeshing, ...
A high efficiency and high reliability single-phase modified quasi Z-Source inverter for non-isolated grid-connected applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Quazi Z-Source inverter (qZSI) is a promising inverter topology that can buck or boost input voltage without a DC-DC converter and hence can be used in transformerless configuration. This is a high efficiency solution ...
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ...
A mixed space-time and wavenumber domain model for predicting ground vibration from railway tracks
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a mixed model for studying ground vibration generated from surface railway tracks is presented. A ballasted track with nonlinear resilient components is modelled in the time domain using the Finite Element ...
Experimental validation of a numerical model for the ground vibration from trains in tunnels
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Ground vibration and ground-borne noise from trains in tunnels are attracting increasing attention from researchers and engineers. They are important environmental issues related with the operation of underground networks ...
Modelling the dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction in a multi-layered half-space
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the context of railway ground-borne vibration, the dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction remains an area that has not been sufficiently investigated. Whilst a number of researchers have scrutinised the vibration response ...
Effect of rail unevenness correlation on the prediction of ground-borne vibration from railways
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the influence of rail unevenness correlation on the predicted track and ground vibration. The study is based on an integrated railway model in the wavenumber-frequency domain with varying complexity ...
