A Double Dwell Frequency Synchronization Scheme For OFDM Systems
(2015-01)
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is being used in many recent communication systems to cope with the demand for high data rate applications. It provides a significant improvement in the bandwidth efficiency ...
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)
Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ...
Buckling of Pretwisted Steel Columns
(2015-01)
Buckling is a mode of failure that is mainly observed in compression members due to structural instability. Inducing a natural pretwist along the length of a column section makes the column have a different resistance at ...
Benchmarking Energy Management Systems in Metro Stations
(2015-05)
Energy and environmental sustainability have become central objectives in mobility system design and mass transit schemes. In addition to environmental prudence, a new world economic order calls for more efficient use of ...
Integrated Material Lot Sizing and Multi-Resource Leveling Models with Activity Splitting
(2015-01)
In the project management literature, project scheduling and material procurement problems are often studied separately and are addressed following a sequential approach. The few papers in the literature that integrated ...
A Framework for Benchmarking the Total Energy Efficiency of Net Zero Energy Buildings
(2015-01)
The need for net zero energy buildings (NZEB) is a result of global depletion of natural fuel resources and the effects of the usage of these fuel resources on climate. For Instance, the building sector in the US alone ...
Indoor Positioning Techniques and Approaches for WI-FI Based Systems
(2015-06)
The rapid expansion of smartphones' market coupled with the advances in mobile computing technology has opened up doors for new mobile services and applications. Quite a few of these services require the knowledge of the ...
Learning-Based Automatic Modulation Classification
(2015-05)
Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is a new technology implemented into communication receivers to automatically determine the modulation type of a received signal. One of the main applications of AMC is in adaptive ...
Learning-Based Spectrum Sensing and Access for Cognitive Radio Systems
(2015-06)
Spectrum management is one of the most important elements of the overall design of cognitive radio systems. Primary users (PUs), or license holders, should not be affected by the opportunistic use of the spectrum by the ...
Flexural Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Externally Strengthened with Carbon and Basalt FRP Sheets
(2015-05)
Different strengthening systems have been widely used for many years to retrofit and repair deficient structural members. Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and beams are commonly strengthened in flexure by externally bonding ...
