Tension field inclination angle in steel plate shear walls with beam- connected web plates
(National Technical University of Athens, 2019)
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are an efficient lateral force-resisting system with thin infill plates, main elements resisting the lateral force, connected to beams and columns on all four edges. Upon lateral loading, ...
Numerical assessment of the factors controlling the acoustic response of wind turbine blades
(Canadian Acoustical Association, 2019)
The blades of wind turbine are the most critical parts of the wind turbine system, which contribute to noise generated by wind turbine due to excitation from air streams across them. In this numerical study, the effect of ...
Assessment of using electric pumps on hybrid rockets
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2019)
In small hybrid rockets, liquid oxidizer is fed into the combustion chamber by pressurizing the oxidizer tank to achieve the desired injector pressure. However, larger applications employ propellant pumps to keep the ...
Skopje’s transitions and the city’s struggle to preserve collective memories
(Institute of History Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Skopje underwent many changes to its urban environment, caused by different factors both human and natural. Due to these impacts the community’s responses have ranged from deeply personal to collective mobilization of ...
Sampling-free variational inference of Bayesian neural networks by variance backpropagation
(Association For Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (AUAI), 2019)
We propose a new Bayesian Neural Net formulation that affords variational inference for which the evidence lower bound is analytically tractable subject to a tight approximation. We achieve this tractability by (i) decomposing ...
In pursuit of belonging: Forging an ethical life in european-turkish spaces
(Berghahn Books, 2019-01-01)
Belonging is a not a state that we achieve, but a struggle that we wage. The struggle for belonging is more difficult if one is returning to a homeland after many years abroad. In Pursuit of Belonging is an ethnography of ...
Channel modeling and characterization for visible light communications: indoor, vehicular and underwater channels
(2018-06)
Despite the increasing attention on visible light communications (VLC) systems, there is a lack of proper visible light (VL) channel models. This is a serious concern since channel modeling is the very first step for ...
Diversity gain analysis of underwater vertical MIMO VLC links in the presence of turbulence
(IEEE, 2019)
To satisfy the demands of high data rate underwater applications such as image and real-time video transmission, underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has emerged as an alternative to acoustic signaling. One of the ...
Ensemble Learning based on Regressor Chains: A Case on Quality Prediction
(SciTePress, 2019)
In this study we construct a prediction model, which utilizes the production process parameters acquired from a textile machine and predicts the quality characteristics of the final yarn. Several machine learning algorithms ...
Relaying techniques for free space optical communications
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019-01-01)
Despite the major advantages of FSO technology and variety of its application areas, its widespread use has been hampered by its rather disappointing link reliability particularly in long ranges due to atmospheric ...
