Generalized area spectral efficiency: An effective performance metric for green wireless communications
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Article)
Area spectral efficiency (ASE) was introduced as a metric to quantify the spectral utilization efficiency of cellular systems. Unlike other performance metrics, ASE takes into account the spatial property of cellular ...
Verifying cloud service-level agreement by a third-party auditor
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...
Stability charts for uniform slopes in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Based on the results of an extensive parametric study, charts were developed for assessment of the stability of uniform slopes in soils with nonlinear shear strength failure envelopes. The study was conducted using envelopes ...
Active Power Filter
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2014 , Book chapter)
The proliferation of power electronics-based devices and equipment has significantly affected the power quality of the grid, which changes its sinusoidal nature through adding harmonic distortion. Power electronics ...

To Relay or Not To Relay in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Article)
A recent investigation on MAC layer in cognitive radio networks proposed the primary packet relaying by the secondary node maintaining an extra queue used for this particular addable functionality. Nevertheless, relaying ...
High gain observer for a three-cell chopper: Design and experimental results
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
As capacitor voltages are necessary for the three-cell DC�DC chopper control, the estimation of such voltages by an observer is attractive solution in terms of cost. However, due to the hybrid behavior of this structure, ...
Passive detection of accelerometer-recorded fetal movements using a time–frequency signal processing approach
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This paper describes a multi-sensor fetal movement (FetMov) detection system based on a time–frequency (TF) signal processing approach. Fetal motor activity is clinically useful as a core aspect of fetal screening for ...
Robust human silhouette extraction with Laplacian fitting
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Human silhouette extraction has been a primary step to estimate human poses or classify activities from videos. While the accuracy of human silhouettes has great impact on the follow-on human pose/gait estimation, it has ...
