Using Linear Regression and Back Propagation Neural Networks to Predict Performance of Soiled PV Modules
(Elsevier, 2019)
This paper presents a study on neural network-based modeling techniques and sensor data to estimate the power output of photovoltaic systems under soiling conditions. Predicting maximum power output under soiling conditions ...
The flexural behavior of bolting and bonding Aluminum Alloy plates to RC beams
(Elsevier, 2019)
The aim of this experimental investigation is to study the effect of using externally bonded and bolted Aluminum Alloy (AA) plates on the strength, stiffness, ductility and failure modes of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. ...
Formulation of heat conduction and thermal conductivity of metals
(De Gruyter, 2019)
The well-known low-pressure monatomic gas thermal conductivity expression is based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and involves the mean particle velocity, the gas heat capacity at constant volume and the ...
What We Have Learned about Terrorism since 9/11
(American Economic Association, 2019)
This overview examines critically the post-9/11 empirical literature on terrorism. Major contributions by both economists and political scientists are included. We focus on five main themes: the changing nature of terrorism, ...
A Multi-Objective Allocation Approach for Power Quality Monitoring Devices
(IEEE Xplore Digital Library, 2019)
With the inception of smart grids and the increased integration of renewable resources, the continuous monitoring of power systems becomes increasingly important to monitor power quality (PQ) and speed up the localization ...
Internet of things based multi-sensor patient fall detection system
(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019)
Accidental falls of patients cannot be completely prevented. However, timely fall detection can help prevent further complications such as blood loss and unconsciousness. In this study, the authors present a cost-effective ...
Numerical Analysis of Film Cooling Shield Formed by Confined Jet Discharging on a Flat Plate
(International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2019)
The effects of centrifugal force and thermal conductivity on the effectiveness of a film cooling shield are investigated in this study. A confined jet with 90 degree angle is used, to inject cooling fluid into hot steam, ...
TCAD Simulation and Analysis of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET Dynamic Power
(MDPI, 2019)
Low power consumption has become one of the major requirements for most microelectronic devices and systems. Increasing power dissipation may lead to decreasing system effciency and lifetime. The BULK metal oxide semiconductor ...
Use of Aluminum Alloy Plates as Externally Bonded Shear Reinforcement for R/C Beams
(Elsevier, 2019)
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and steel had proven to be very effective as externally bonded shear strengthening materials However, they both have their shortcomings. Recently developed high strength Aluminum Alloy (AA) ...
Vigilance Decrement and Enhancement Techniques: A Review
(MDPI, 2019)
This paper presents the first comprehensive review on vigilance enhancement using both conventional and unconventional means, and further discusses the resulting contradictory findings. It highlights the key differences ...
