Nested FOPI and PI Controller Comparison and Battery Energy Management for EV Traction System
(2023-11)This work investigates first the use of nested Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) and conventional integer order Proportional Integral (PI) controllers and examines the effect of having both controllers in inner ... -
Neural network based predistortion of radio frequency power amplifiers
(2021-04)Over the last few decades, researchers have been able to successfully use neural networks for behavioral modeling and predistortion of power amplifiers. When used as predistorters, neural networks offer favorable results ... -
Neural Networks as a Convex Problem
(2016-09)We reformulated the problem of training the neural networks model into a convex optimization problem by performing a local quadratic expansion of the cost function and adding the necessary constraints. We designed a new ... -
Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the ESL Classroom in the UAE
(2023-11)Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a practical approach to language learning and teaching that focuses on understanding the thought and behavior patterns underlying communication and skill acquisition (Day, 2008). Despite ... -
Neuro-Wavelet Based Islanding Detection Technique
(2010-05)Integrating distributed generator into the existing distribution network is predicted to play an important role in the near future. Distributed generators, specifically renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic, ... -
A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations
(Elsevier, 2011-11)In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the ... -
A New Data-Based Dust Estimation Unit for PV Panels
(MDPI, 2020)Solar photovoltaic (PV) is playing a major role in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) smart grid infrastructure. However, one of the challenges facing PV-based energy systems is the dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust ... -
A New Extension of Generalized Exponential Distribution with Application to Ozone Data
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)In this article, a new distribution, called transformed Generalized Exponential Distribution () is proposed. The distribution has simple closed forms pdf and cdf. Several properties of the distribution are studied including ... -
The New Generation of Students: How colleges can recruit, teach, and serve Gen Z
(The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2018)This Chronicle report draws on demographic trends, surveys, front-line observations, and an expanding array of Gen Z books and experts to introduce the new generation to campus leaders. Details are still emerging, but Gen ... -
A new method to improve the lifetime stability of small molecule bilayer heterojunction organic solar cells
(2013-02)Unencapsulated small molecular solar cells with a layer of carboxylated copper phthalocyanine (CuPc⁎) introduced between the donor copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and acceptor 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride ... -
Next Generation 10 Gb/s RZ Optical Transmitters
(2004-05)We propose an alternate chirp RZ optical transmitter that provides telecommunication carriers with a cost effective solution for upgrading the existing 2.5 Gb/s fiber links to 10 Gb/s. The performance of the proposed ... -
Nitinol Stents: A Finite Element Analysis of their Interaction with the Wall of Blood Vessels
(2023-12)The recent decades have seen huge improvements in stent implantation in arteries affected by atherosclerosis. The latter entails the partial blocking or complete occlusion of the lumen. Self-expandable stents are being ... -
Non-Destructive Water Leak Detection Using Multitemporal Infrared Thermography
(IEEE, 2021)Waterleakage detection and localization in distribution networks pipelines is a challenge for utility companies. For this purpose, thermal Infrared Radiation (IR) techniques have been widely applied in the literature. ... -
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Base Plates on Leveling Nuts
(2012-01)Base plates are used to connect structural members to their foundations. They are routinely used in cantilevered structures supporting traffic utilities like overhead cantilevered direction signboards, traffic signals, ... -
