An Approach for Energy Conservation Management Systems in Buildings
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Making decisions about energy conservation options in buildings can be rather problematic as they involve several tradeoffs between project stakeholders. Furthermore, the level of details required in making a decision by ...
ANN Model for Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting in a Hybrid Energy Supply System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents short term demand and supply forecasting model for a microgrid supply system used to secure the electricity demands of a commercial building, using one year demand data collected in hourly base. One-year ...

(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes the ICFHR 2018 Competition on Multi-script Writer Identification with details on the competition tasks, databases employed, submitted systems, evaluation protocol and the reported results. The competition ...
Pareto-front analysis of a monotonie PI control law for slip suppression in a robotic manipulator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel slip-suppression controller for a two-fingered robotic manipulator, where the goal is to minimize the slip distance without using excessive force. To do this, we consider monotonic PI (MPI) ...
Optimization of energy pile conductance using finite element and fractional factorial design of experiment
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Energy Piles pose as heat exchangers that transfer the heat from the buildings to the shallow ground lower temperature in order to decrease the energy consumption whilst cooling the ...
Axial pull-out response of a small-scale concrete pile subjected to cyclic thermal loading in sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy piles support structural loads and exchange heat with surrounding soils using closed-loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. A GSHP connected to an energy pile operates in cycles where it functions for a period ...
Experimental characterization of a tactile sensor for surgical applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
© 2018 IEEE. This paper presents an improved piezoelectric sensor fabricated using reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer composite that is able to sense the linear force applied onto its ...
Viscoelastic behaviour of Bovine Myocardiam and valvular tissue: Applications in Bio prosthetic heart valve with enhanced properties
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Cardiovascular diseases are among the major causes of morbity and mortality. Particularly, the prevalence of heart valve disease(damaged heart valve leaflet) is one of the most common ailment. In elderly people, every year ...
Studies on the Mechanical, Morphological and Electrical Properties of Highly Dispersible Graphene Oxide Reinforced Polypyrrole and Polyvinylalcohol Blend Composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present study, water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO) composite films were prepared via colloidal blending method at different GO loadings varying from 0 – 3 wt%. The dispersion ...
Electrospun polymer nanocomposite scaffolds containing metal oxide nanoparticles for diabetic wound healing
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
It is very important to treat diabetic foot injuries at early stage since even minor wounds can turn into serious foot ulcers which can lead to the amputation of the entire foot if not treated early. The management of ...
