Effect of surface roughening on concrete/trm bond
(
ISEC Press
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is applied on the concrete surface with the aim of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The performance of the strengthened structural system is directly related to the bond between ...
Stadium vibration assessment for serviceability considering the vibration duration
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration problems in grandstand structures have been getting more attention due to increasing slenderness of architectural components and the complexity of crowd loading for structural designers. The vibration serviceability ...
Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ...
A minorization-maximization algorithm for an-based mimome secrecy rate maximization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We consider the problem of secrecy rate maximization in a multi-input multi-output multi-eavesdropper (MIMOME) wiretap channel and present an exact solution. A general system model with a multi-antenna eavesdropper and a ...
Optimized Processing of a Batch of Aggregate Queries over Hidden Databases
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
A tremendous amount of data is concealed behind form-based interfaces that communicate any user query to their data store to deliver query answer. These interfaces limit the number of retrieved search results to the top-k ...
Walsh transform with moving average filtering for data compression in wireless sensor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Due to the peculiarity of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where a group of sensors continuously transmit data to other sensors or to the fusion center, it is crucial to compress the transmitted data in order to save the ...
Design of a low voltage DC grid interfacing PV and energy storage systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
A design of a Photovoltaic (PV) power system architecture with energy storage system for low voltage DC grid applications is presented in this paper. The system components include the following: PV panels with non-isolated ...
A new dual series-connected Nine-Switch Converter topology for a twelve-phase induction machine wind energy system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper introduces a new transformerless converter topology for Multiphase-Based Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECSs). In this topology, a twelve-phase induction generator is integrated to the grid using dual Nine-Switch ...
MobiFace: A Mobile Application for Faceted Search over Hidden Web Databases
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
A large number of web databases are hidden behind form-based interfaces (consisting of interface components such as textboxes, drop-down boxes, etc) for users to enter their desired values in a search query. Form-based ...
Nine-level asymmetrical single phase multilevel inverter topology with low switching frequency and reduce device counts
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new asymmetrical single-phase multilevel inverter topology capable of producing nine-level output voltage with reduce device counts. In order to obtain the desired output voltage, dc sources are ...
