Optimal Determination of Respiratory Airflow Patterns for a General Multicompartment Lung Mechanics System with Nonlinear Resistance and Compliance Parameters
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we develop a framework for determining optimal respiratory airflow patterns for a multicompartment lung mechanics system with nonlinear resistance and compliance parameters. First, a nonlinear multicompartment ...
Optimization of nickel oxide nanoparticle synthesis through the sol-gel method using Box-Behnken design
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method. The process parameters were optimized to produce smaller size of nanoparticles such as molar ratio, solution pH and calcination temperatures. ...
A dynamic MOPSO algorithm for multiobjective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, a dynamic multiobjective particle swarm optimization (DMOPSO) method is presented for the optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs). The main goal of the design is to minimize simultaneously ...
Hybrid radio resource allocation and interference coordination for type 1a-relayed long term evolution uplink
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Article)
Relay technology has been included in long term evolution (LTE) cellular system through 3GPP Release 10. Relay-based LTE cellular system is one of the most promising technologies to enhance the throughput and coverage of ...
Training Radial Basis Function Neural Networks for Classification via Class-Specific Clustering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
In training radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs), the locations of Gaussian neurons are commonly determined by clustering. Training inputs can be clustered on a fully unsupervised manner (input clustering), or ...
An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem Using Branch-and-Price
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the integrated quay crane assignment and scheduling problem (QCASP). The problem requires determining the assignment of quay cranes to vessels and the scheduling of operations to be performed by ...
Optimization of probability of error in collaborative spectrum sensing of time-limited cognitive radio networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We study the probability of error optimization problem in collaborative spectrum sensing (CSS) with limited time resources in cognitive radio (CR) networks. The frame structures for sensing and data transmission, if the ...
Optimizing resource utilization during the recovery of civil infrastructure systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2010 , Article)
Postdisaster recovery efforts of damaged civil infrastructure systems need to be optimized in order to alleviate the adverse impacts of natural disasters on local societies and economies. This paper presents an innovative ...
Relay selection in FDD amplify-and-forward cooperative networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the problems of relay selection and distributed beamforming are investigated for bi-directional dual-hop amplify-and-forward frequency-division duplex cooperative wireless networks. When using individual ...
High-performance removal of toxic phenol by single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes: Kinetics, adsorption, mechanism and optimization studies
(
Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The adsorption capabilities of two nano-sized adsorbents: multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated for the removal of toxic phenol. The maximum adsorption capacities ...
