Designing high-resolution time–frequency and time–scale distributions for the analysis and classification of non-stationary signals: a tutorial review with a comparison of features performance
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper deals with the problem of extracting information from non-stationary signals in the form of features that can be used for effective decision-making in both data analysis and machine learning for automatic ...
Adaptive thermal comfort in the different buildings of Darjeeling Hills in eastern India – Effect of difference in elevation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Thermal comfort standards are required to provide comfortable indoor condition which has a positive effect on the occupant. However, the Predicted Mean Vote – Percentage People Dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model which is used ...
Asymmetric import cost pass-through in GCC countries: Evidence from nonlinear panel analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigates the asymmetric impacts of import costs on inflation in GCC countries. We utilize data from GCC countries and their trading partners over the period of 1990:Q1-2014:Q4 to construct a new import cost ...

Pressure injuries (PIs) are one of the most common types of complex wounds and impose a huge economic burden on the healthcare system and the patients. A plethora of topical treatments is widely available for PI treatment, ...
An adaptive relationship of thermal comfort for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries: The case of offices in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Escalating building energy expenditure encourages rethinking on thermal comfort delivery in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in warm desert climate. The GCC states do not have an adaptive comfort standard, or ...
Robust multisensor time–frequency signal processing: A tutorial review with illustrations of performance enhancement in selected application areas
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper presents high-resolution multisensor time–frequency distributions (MTFDs) and their applications to the analysis of multichannel non-stationary signals. The approach combines high-resolution time–frequency ...
Electrodeposited Ni–Co layered double hydroxides on titanium carbide as a binder-free electrode for supercapacitors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
We report the synthesized mixture of MXene and Ni–Co LDH on nickel foam by an electrodeposition technique. The specific capacitance of the mixture attained 983.6 F g−1 at a discharge current of 2 A g−1, which is greater ...
An improved time–frequency noise reduction method using a psycho-acoustic Mel model
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper addresses the problem of noise reduction in non-stationary signals. The paper first describes a human physiology based time?frequency (TF) representation (HPTF) using Mel filterbanks. It is then used to improve ...
