Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ...
Distributed spectrum sensing of correlated observations in cognitive radio networks
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Collaborative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) as one of the most efficient sensing approaches in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) is investigated when the Secondary Users (SUs) observations are assumed to be correlated. ...
Underlay cognitive radio: What is the impact of carrier aggregation and relaying on throughput?
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate joint relay selection and optimal power allocation, as a means to maximize the achievable rate of an underlay cooperative cognitive radio with carrier aggregation, taking into account the ...
The effect of additional statistical side information on multiple antenna spectrum sensing
(2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider the problem of multiple antenna spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radios (CR) when some or all parameters are unknown. The Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR) test is the convectional method to solve ...
Optimization models in emergency logistics: A literature review
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article Review)
Optimization modeling has become a powerful tool to tackle emergency logistics problems since its first adoption in maritime disaster situations in the 1970s. Using techniques of content analysis, this paper reviews ...
Distributed Multi-Objective Resource Optimization for Mobile-Health Systems
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Mobile-health (m-health) systems leverage wireless and mobile communication technologies to promote new ways to acquire, process, transport, and secure the raw and processed medical data. M-health systems provide the ...
Cooling vest with optimized PCM arrangement targeting torso sensitive areas that trigger comfort when cooled for improving human comfort in hot conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The objective of this work is to optimize the arrangement of Phase Change Material (PCM) packets in a cooling vest by targeting torso segments that can trigger comfort when cooled. An integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat ...
Optimization of reliability and maintenance of liquefaction system on FLNG terminals using Markov modelling
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to optimize system redundancy and maintenance intervals of a propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant (C3MR) liquefaction process on floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) export platforms. ...
Optimal performance of single-column chromatography and simulated moving bed processes for the separation of optical isomers
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Chromatography has been established as the method of choice for the separation and purification of optically pure drugs which has a market size of about 250 billion USD. Single column chromatography (SCC) is commonly used ...
Dynamic analysis of application delivery network for leveraging software defined infrastructures
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Application Service Providers (ASPs) may obtain resources from a number of cloud service providers (CSPs) in an attempt to improve latency and minimize operational expenses (OpEx). The CSPs may use management and control ...
