Design, analysis and experimental investigation of a new scroll expander based trigeneration system
(2014-01-01)
Current technologies of using conventional energy produce a large amount of waste heat which can potentially be recovered in the form of useful work to use in our day to day life. This initiative not only optimizes the ...
Development, analysis and performance assessment of net zero energy house systems.
(2014-08-01)
Net zero energy buildings have captured the attention of many researchers and governments due to high energy consumption by traditional buildings. The design stage of a net zero energy house is the most crucial and cost ...
Advances in parallel robotics for flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing
(2014-04-01)
Parallel robotic manipulators are a specific type of robot that has multiple
limbs which are ultimately connected to a moving body. Within
this regime, there are several sub-classes of robots characterized by
certain ...
Distributed policy-based management framework for wireless sensor networks.
(2014-06-01)
Policy-Based Management Systems (PBMS) are becoming a critical component of any information technology environment, due to their ability to abstract hardware complexity from their users. Policy-based systems exist in such ...
Asynchronous bi-directional relay-assisted communication networks
(2014-02-01)
We consider an asynchronous bi-directional relay network, consisting of two singleantenna
transceivers and multiple single-antenna relays, where the transceiver-relay
paths are subject to different relaying and/or ...
Designing power aware wireless sensor networks leveraging software modeling techniques
(2014-03-01)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are typically used to monitor specific phenomena and gather the data to a gateway node, where the data is further processed. WSNs nodes have limited power resources, which require developing ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)
The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ...
Micro-differential evolution: diversity enhancement and comparative study.
(2014-08-01)
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), such as the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, suffer
from high computational time due to large population size and nature of evaluation, to
mention two major reasons. The micro-EAs employ ...
Design and analysis of an adjustable wrist rehabilitation robot.
(2014-07-01)
Numerous people lose motor capabilities of their hands every year because of the Stroke. Rehabilitation robot was used to recover the movement ability based on the plasticity theory. Many robots have been proposed but most ...
Determining fuzzy link quality membership functions in wireless sensor networks
(2014-04-01)
Wireless Sensor Network routing protocols rely on the estimation of the quality of the links between nodes to determine a suitable path from the data source nodes to a data-collecting node. Several link estimators have ...
