Optimization of linear zigzag insert metastructures for low-frequency vibration attenuation using genetic algorithms
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Vibration suppression remains a crucial issue in the design of structures and machines. Recent studies have shown that with the use of metamaterial inspired structures (or metastructures), considerable vibration attenuation ... -
Physical drivers of chlorophyll and nutrients variability in the Southern-Central Arabian Gulf
( Academic Press , 2023 , Article)The southern-central Arabian Gulf demonstrates a poor understanding of nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in physical-biogeochemical settings. Here, using data of chlorophyll, nutrients and hydrographic parameters collected ... -
Potential of mercury-tolerant bacteria for bio-uptake of mercury leached from discarded fluorescent lamps
( Academic Press , 2019 , Article)In this study, ten bacterial strains were found to be mercury resistant after their isolation from Qatari coastal sediments. Tolerance was found to be up to 100–150 ppm for five strains. Those strains had optimum growth ... -
Preserving the beamforming effect for spatial cue-based pseudo-binaural dereverberation of a single source
( Academic Press , 2023 , Article)Reverberations are unavoidable in enclosures, resulting in reduced intelligibility for hearing impaired and non-native listeners and even for the normal hearing listeners in noisy circumstances. It also degrades the ... -
QoE-aware distributed cloud-based live streaming of multisourced multiview videos
( Academic Press , 2018 , Article)Video streaming is one of the most prevailing and bandwidth consuming Internet applications today. Advancements in technology and prevalence of video capturing devices result in massive multi-sourced (aka crowdsourced) ... -
Real-time throughput prediction for cognitive Wi-Fi networks
( Academic Press , 2020 , Article)Wi-Fi as a wireless networking technology has become a widely acceptable commonplace. Over the course of time, the applications landscape of Wi-Fi networks is growing tremendously. The proliferation of new services is ... -
Real-time vibration-based structural damage detection using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Structural health monitoring (SHM) and vibration-based structural damage detection have been a continuous interest for civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers over the decades. Early and meticulous damage detection has ... -
Restoration methods for cloud multicast virtual networks
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Providing reliability guarantees for services hosted in cloud data center networks is a well studied problem that received much attention from the literature in recent years. Yet, the existing literature failed to account ... -
RNA:DNA ratios as a proxy of egg production rates of Acartia
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Estimates of copepod secondary production are of great importance to infer the global organic matter fluxes in aquatic ecosystems and species-specific responses of zooplankton to hydrologic variability. However, there is ... -
Robust sensor fault detection and isolation of gas turbine engines subjected to time-varying parameter uncertainties
( Academic Press , 2016 , Article)In this paper, a novel robust sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) strategy using the multiple model-based (MM) approach is proposed that remains robust with respect to both time-varying parameter uncertainties and ... -
Security and privacy preservation in fog-based crowd sensing on the internet of vehicles
