( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)In this paper, a newly designed two-stage solar collector using a non-tracking conical concentrator and a glass lens has been demonstrated for the application in hybrid photo-thermo-electric system (HPTES). The revealed ... -
A unified approach for calculating the outage performance of two-way af relaying over fading channels
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)Amplify-and-forward-based two-way relaying (TWR-AF) promises significant benefits in wireless networks. In this paper, we aim to obtain unified expressions to determine the outage probability of TWR-AF, regardless of ... -
A unified damping controller for non-stationary forced oscillation
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Forced disturbances (FDs) with non-stationary frequencies can sequentially resonate from electromechanical modes (EMs) to sub/super synchronous modes (SSMs) and thus lead to non-stationary forced oscillations (FOs). Previous ... -
A Unified Framework for Differentiated Services in Intelligent Healthcare Systems
( IEEE , 2022 , Article)The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak continues to significantly expose the vulnerabilities of healthcare systems around the world. These unprecedented circumstances create an opportunity for improving healthcare ... -
A Unipolar/Bipolar High-Voltage Pulse Generator Based on Positive and Negative Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters Operating in Discontinuous Conduction Mode
