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 ...
Towards a Critical Construction Management Research Agenda in the MENA Region
(2014-03)
Research in construction management has seen a lot of growth in recent years. The contribution of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is still relatively low. There is a need to identify the causes of the low ...
Video Streaming over D2D Networks
(2019-04)
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has been presented as an innovation that can improve the cellular network performance by exploiting the proximity-based service between closely-located devices. Enabling D2D communication ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes (CFSTs) using Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC)
(2019-12)
Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) can be considered as possible and promising alternative to conventional reinforced concrete members and steel structures since they have superior structural properties and economic ...
Autonomous Vehicles Delivery Systems: Analyzing Vehicle Routing Problems with a Moving Depot
(2019-04)
The vast growth in the e-commerce market has increased the attention to resolving the problem of Last Mile Delivery that has significant challenges such as reducing operational cost or ecological impact and increasing ...
Analysis and Optimization of p-Xylene Production Process
(2013-06)
In this study a process is developed for selective production of p-xylene from toluene methylation using reactive distillation for p-xylene separation. Complete process is simulated in Aspen Plus® and reaction parameters ...
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 ...
Numerical Analysis for Film Cooling Performance Under Different Jet Design Criteria
(2018-04)
Cooling gas turbine blades is a crucial technique to allow higher turbine inlet temperatures. A higher turbine inlet temperature allows boosting gas turbine efficiency, which reduces fuel consumption. One of the main cooling ...
Control of cardiac alternans by mechanical and electrical feedback
(American Physical Society, 2014)
A persistent alternation in the cardiac action potential duration has been linked to the onset of ventricular arrhythmia, which may lead to sudden cardiac death. A coupling between these cardiac alternans and the intracellular ...
