Distributed turbo coding using log-likelihood thresholding for cooperative communications
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In cooperative communications, error propagation at relays reduces the diversity order of the system. To combat that effect, we present a novel technique to control error propagation at the relays, which is presented in ...
Concentration of sucrose solutions via vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
The potential use of vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) process for the concentration of sucrose solution was examined. The effect of several parameters, including feed temperature, flow rate, and initial sucrose concentration ...
Tutorials-Based System to Assist Qatari Children with Special Needs
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Article)
The objective of this project is to develop an Arabic predictive communication system for physically disabled people with speech and language impairments who are resident at the Shafalah Qatari center for children with ...
Viscous-Gravity spreading of oil on water
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2001 , Article)
Spreading of oil on calm water is analyzed for the second stage of spread, which is controlled by a balance between gravity and viscous forces. The analysis, using the integral boundary-layer method, agreed well with a ...
Highly accurate solutions of the bifurcation structure of mixed-convection heat transfer using spectral method
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2002 , Article)
This paper is concerned with producing highly accurate solution and bifurcation structure using the pseudo-spectral method for the two-dimensional pressure-driven flow through a horizontal duct of a square cross-section ...
New Heuristic Strategies for Reactive Power Compensation of Radial Distribution Feeders
(
IEEE
, 2002 , Article)
In this paper, the authors introduce two new heuristic techniques for reactive power compensation in radial distribution feeders. The methods can be considered as generalization ideas that emerged from recent heuristic ...
Photodegradation of methylene blue dye by the UV/H2O2 and UV/acetone oxidation processes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in aqueous solutions was investigated using a laboratory-scale UV lamp in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Different initial concentrations of dyes (10, 20, 30, 40 ...
Self-Imaging based Dispersion Compensation: Performance and Tolerance of the System
(
IEEE
, 2007 , Article)
Transmitting ultra wideband (UWB) pulse signals over optical fiber is a certain sign of chromatic dispersion (CD) existence. CD is a serious problem in optical transmission because the velocity of light depends on the ...
Representation of Adsorption Data for the Isopropanol-Water System using Neural Network Techniques
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2005 , Article)
Molecular sieves and palm stone, a newly developed bio-based adsorbent, were used to break an azeotropic isopropanol-water system via an adsorptive distillation process. Equilibrium data at different inlet water contents ...
MASACAD: A multi-agent approach to information customization for the purpose of academic advising of students
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2006 , Article)
The growth and advancement in the Internet and the World Wide Web has led to an explosion in the amount of available information. This staggering amount of information has made it extremely difficult for users to locate ...
