DC-Transformer Modelling, Analysis and Comparison of the Experimental Investigation of a Non-Inverting and Non-Isolated Nx Multilevel Boost Converter (Nx MBC) for Low to High DC Voltage Applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper mainly focuses on the analysis, DC-transformer modeling, comparison, and experimental investigation of a non-inverting and non-isolated Nx multilevel boost converter (Nx MBC) for low to high DC applications. ...
Optimal resource allocation for green and clustered video sensor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Wireless video sensor networks (WVSNs) are opening the door for many applications, such as industrial surveillance, environmental tracking, border security, and infrastructure health monitoring. In WVSN, energy conservation ...
Bioremediation and nutrient removal from wastewater by Chlorella vulgaris
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The capability of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) for biomass production and nutrients removal under different wastewater quality has been studied. Cv was cultivated in a standard medium (Marine labs American society ...
Hydrothermally grown ZnO electrodes for improved organic photovoltaic devices
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Here we report a simple, solution based processing route for the formation of large surface area electrodes resulting in improved organic photovoltaic devices when compared with conventional planar electrodes. The ...
On the Achievable Secrecy Diversity of Cooperative Networks with Untrusted Relays
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Cooperative relaying is often deployed to enhance the communication reliability (i.e., diversity order) and consequently the end-to-end achievable rate. However, this raises several security concerns when the relays are ...
Precoding-Aided Spatial Modulation for the Wiretap Channel with Relay Selection and Cooperative Jamming
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
We propose in this paper a physical-layer security (PLS) scheme for dual-hop cooperative networks in an effort to enhance the communications secrecy. The underlying model comprises a transmitting node (Alice), a legitimate ...
Spatiotemporal saliency estimation by spectral foreground detection
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
We present a novel approach for spatiotemporal saliency detection by optimizing a unified criterion of color contrast, motion contrast, appearance, and background cues. To this end, we first abstract the video by temporal ...
A computational study on molecular structure and stability of tautomers of dipyrrole-based phenanthroline analogue
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This work reports structure and stability of different tautomers of a newly-designed analogue of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (the di-keto structure (DK) derived from 1H,8H-pyrrolo[3,2-g]indole (PI)) using quantum chemical ...
A simple model for cell type recognition using 2D-correlation analysis of FTIR images from breast cancer tissue
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer after lung cancer. So far, in clinical practice, most cancer parameters originating from histopathology rely on the visualization by a pathologist of microscopic structures ...
Electro-sprayed PVA coating with texture-enriched surface morphology for augmented humidity sensing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This article reports the modified surface morphology of Poly-vinyl Alcohol (PVA) films using electro-spraying coating technique. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to examine ...
