Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
Clustering analysis of lock contention fault types using run-time performance metrics for java intrinsic locks
(2022-02-01)
Locks are essential in java-based multi-threaded applications as this mechanism provides a proper solution to synchronizing shared resources. However, improper management of locks and threads can lead to contention; as a ...
Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
(2022-02-01)
Road detection is a core component of self-driving vehicle perception, where it covers detecting road boundaries and drivable road regions. It can also help human drivers to drive safely in lower visibility. The majority ...
