Reliability Centered Maintenance Actions Prioritization Using Fuzzy Inference Systems
(Emeraldinsight, 2016)
Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a systematic maintenance philosophy/approach used to analyze system's performance in terms of the impact of a potential failure and select the most efficient maintenance tasks along ...
A Unified Approach for Probability of Detection Evaluation over Generalised Fading Channels
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016)
In this paper, we revisit energy detection-based spectrum sensing cognitive radio systems operating over generalised fading channels. In particular, we derive closed-form exact expressions as well as lowand high-signal-to-noise ...
Capacity of Fox's H-function Fading Channel with Adaptive Transmission
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016)
Novel closed-form exact expressions for the capacity of the recently-introduced Fox's H-function fading channel are derived. The expressions are obtained assuming different types of adaptive transmission strategies, namely, ...
Spectrum Sensing Via Reconfigurable Antennas: Fundamental Limits and Potential Gains
(Springer, 2016-07)
We propose a novel spectrum sensing technique in cognitive radio networks that provides diversity and capacity benefits using a single antenna at the Secondary User (SU) receiver. The proposed scheme is based on a ...
Rapid Separation of Bacteria from Blood - Review and Outlook
(American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), 2016)
The high morbidity and mortality rate of bloodstream infections involving antibiotic‐resistant bacteria necessitate a rapid identification of the infectious organism and its resistance profile. Traditional methods based ...
Fault Detection of Fuel Systems Using Polynomial Regression Profile Monitoring
(Wiley Online Library, 2016-08-09)
Anomaly detection is the characterization of a normal behavior of a system or process and identification of any deviation from such normal behavior. Anomaly detection of critical systems provides an important financial and ...
Labour localisation and human resource management practices in the Gulf countries
(Edwar Elgar, 2016)
The chapter is organized as follows: first, we examine the literature on core issues pertinent to this theme, such as demographic and labor-market characteristics in the GCC, the objectives of these localisation programs, ...
Closed-form Exact and Asymptotic Expressions for the Symbol Error Rate and Channel Capacity of the H-function Fading Channel
(IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, 2016-04)
In this paper, we derive closed-form exact and asymptotic expressions for the symbol error rate (SER) as well as channel capacity when communicating over the Fox's H-function fading channel. The SER expressions are obtained ...
Saliency detection in MPEG and HEVC video using intra-frame and inter-frame distances
(Springer, 2016-04)
This paper proposes a video saliency detection model for MPEG and HEVC coded videos. The model extracts features from MPEG macro blocks and HEVC coding units. The feature variables are based on syntax elements and statistics ...
