Conceptual design of a fully passive transfemoral prosthesis to facilitate energy-efficient gait
(IEEE, 2018-12)
In this paper, we present the working principle and conceptual design toward the realization of a fully-passive transfemoral prosthesis that mimics the energetics of the natural human gait. The fundamental property of the ...
Challenges for radiative transfer 1: towards the effective solution of conjugate heat transfer problems
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
This paper lists crucial challenges in radiative transfer with the objective of gathering information on improving and choosing methods for solving conjugate heat transfer problems. Developments in computational and ...
Effect of electrostatic stabilization on thermal radiation transfer in nanosuspensions: Photo-thermal energy conversion applications
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Solar thermal collectors are among the most important photo-thermal energy conversion systems. Effectiveness of these systems is measured by the ability of working fluid to absorb incident radiative energy. Although ...
Adaptive MIMO FSO communication systems with spatial mode switching
(IEEE, 2018-08)
In this paper, we propose an adaptive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) free-space optical (FSO) system with dynamic adaptation between spatial modes of operation. The proposed adaptive system supports three MIMO modes. ...
Energy efficiency analysis and improving performance of light emitting diodes
(2018-12)
Energy efficiency of light sources continually increases as the technology advance. Traditional light sources have inefficiency, large sizes, short life times and poisonous mercury vapor. On the other hand, the improvements ...
Rounding heuristics for multiple product dynamic lot-sizing in the presence of queueing behavior
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
We present heuristics for solving a difficult nonlinear integer programming (NIP) model arising from a multi-item single machine dynamic lot-sizing problem. The heuristic obtains a local optimum for the continuous relaxation ...
What happens after the protests? Understanding protest outcomes through multi-level social change
(American Psychological Association, 2018)
Over the last few years, large-scale social movements and the consequences of these movements from the perspectives of protesters have been gaining increased attention across the globe. Psychological research has tended ...
Examining the roles of parent-child and teacher-child relationships on behavior regulation of children at risk
(Wayne State University Press, 2018-04)
The current study examined the effects of parent-child and teacher-child relationships on behavior regulation of children at risk. In particular, the amplifying or attenuating effect of one context (i.e., teacher-child ...
Increasing test efficiency by risk-driven model-based testing
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
We introduce an approach and a tool, RIMA, for adapting test models used for model-based testing to augment information regarding failure risk. We represent test models in the form of Markov chains. These models comprise ...
Energy optimized routing with directional antennas and tagging for multimedia sensor networks
(IEEE, 2018-04-24)
Several routing optimization strategies have been proposed in research for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN), because of unavailability of the external power source. In this paper, a global energy optimization ...
