Extended rectangular b-metric spaces and some fixed point theorems for contractive mappings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we introduce the class of extended rectangular b-metric spaces as a generalization of both rectangular metric and rectangular b-metric spaces. In addition, some fixed point results connected with certain ...
A novel control plane optimization strategy for important nodes in SDN-IoT networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
One of the crucial technologies for future Internet of Things (IoT) is software defined networks, which provides a centralized and programmable control ability for operators. However, the current single control plane ...
A Secure, Lightweight, and Privacy-Preserving Authentication Scheme for V2G Connections in Smart Grid
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Vehicle to Grid (V2G) is a crucial technology that enables the bidirectional flow of communication between electric vehicles (EVs) and the smart grid (SG). Undoubtedly security and privacy are inherent requirements of these ...
EdgeHealth: An Energy-Efficient Edge-based Remote mHealth Monitoring System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Promoting smart and scalable remote health monitoring systems is challenging due to the enormous amount of collected data that needs to be processed and transferred given the limited network resources and battery-operated ...
Microscale Thermal Energy Transfer Over a Combined System of Thin Films: Analytical Approach
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
An analytical approach for the solution of the equation for phonon transport is presented for the combination thin films system. The transient phonon radiative transport model is considered and the combination of the silicon ...
Exploring the origins of EEG motion artefacts during simultaneous fMRI acquisition: Implications for motion artefact correction
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Motion artefacts (MAs) are induced within EEG data collected simultaneously with fMRI when the subject's head rotates relative to the magnetic field. The effects of these artefacts have generally been ameliorated by removing ...
Passion, trait self-control, and wellbeing: Comparing two mediation models predicting wellbeing
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2017 , Article)
Research has found that passion and trait self-control represented key determinants of wellbeing. Yet, no study to date has attempted to investigate the mediating influences of trait self-control and passion for accounting ...
Fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors by obstacle dielectrophoresis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) is currently believed to be an efficient biological treatment for reusing and recovering wastewater to extenuate the ever increasing water scarcity crisis. To mitigate the main problem, ...
Empowering Technology Enabled Care Using IoT and Smart Devices: A Review
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.

Designing power aware wearable devices is the main key in building compact size autonomous smart devices to successfully connect health Internet of things solutions. With their ability to perform tasks ranging from simple ...
An integrated approach of data envelopment analysis and boosted generalized linear mixed models for efficiency assessment
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Performance evaluation is an important part in the management of any decision-making unit (DMU) as it identifies sources of managerial inefficiencies and provides a policy for inefficient DMUs to improve their efficiency. ...
