Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBlind Pre-Coder for MIMO System Capacity EnhancementEman Al Khader, Shereen S. IsmailIn this study, linear scheme at the transmitter is proposed as a blind pre-coder to improve the performance and enhance the channel capacity of MIMO systems with certain configurations for transmitting and receiving antennas over fading channels. This is accomplished by generating a specific linear pre-coder matrix without having any prior information about the Channel State (CS) matrix. Simulation results … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2017 · 7,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCastor Oil Based Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposite for Advanced ApplicationsAditi Saikia, Niranjan KarakBio-based hyperbranched and linear epoxy resins were synthesized from monoglyceride of Ricinus communis oil. The nanocomposites of these hyperbranched and linear epoxies with 1, 2 and 3 wt% of OMMT were also fabricated. The structures of the resins and their nanocomposites were analyzed by FTIR, NMR, XRD, SEM and TEM. The studies of performance characteristics of poly(amido amine) cured thermosetting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Dec 2015 · 8,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing the Role of Computerized Accounting Usefulness with Quantile RegressionQuang Linh HuynhPrevious research has examined the determinants resulting in the implementation of computerized accounting, mainly relying on the Generalized Linear Model (GLM), based on the conditional mean of dependent variables. The aim of this document is to analyze the implementation of computerized accounting systems with the quantile regression. Additionally, it attempts to study the mediating role of the perceived usefulness of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 14 Oct 2015 · 6,580 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Parameters Influencing the Behavior of Knee Braced Steel StructuresEdris Farokhi, Mehrdad GordiniIn Knee-Braced Frames (KBF), the brace is connected to the knee element rather than the beam-column joint. For reasons such as having sufficient lateral stiffness despite its adequate ductile behavior, the concentration of damage in the Double Knee-Braced structural elements and also ease of repair and replacement of these elements after an earthquake, this bracing system is preferred over conventional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 21 Sep 2015 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTHORSHIP CATEGORIZATION IN EMAIL INVESTIGATIONS USING FISHER’S LINEAR DISCRIMINANT METHOD WITH RADIAL BASIS FUNCTIONA. Pandian, Md. Abdul Karim SadiqEmail plays a vital role in faster communication. Lots of mails are sent to common public with falsified information that appears to be a realistic. It is mandatory to trace the origin of the email and the authors/systems responsible for generating such emails. Representative signatures of email are to be generated using lexical and syntactic based methods. The signature of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 31 Jan 2014 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTunability Performance of Reflectarrays Based on Non-Linear Material PropertiesM. Y. Ismail, M. Hashim DahriLimited phase range and narrower bandwidth are the main performance limitations of reflectarray antennas for high gain applications which result in the performance to be restricted particularly in satellite and earth observatory systems. This study provides a thorough investigation on the tunability performance of reflectarrays designed in X-band frequency range using different non-linear dielectric substrates. An investigation of phase agility … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2013 · 7,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation on Score Reliability for Biometric Speaker Authentication SystemsDzati Athiar Ramli, Haryati Jaafar, Muhammad Hazim HasanProblem statement: Fusion weight tuning based on score reliability is imperative in order to ensure the performances of multibiometric systems are sustained. Approach: In this study, two variant of conditions i.e., different performances of individual subsystems and inconsistent quality of test samples are experimented to multibiometric systems. By applying multialgorithm scheme, two types of features extraction method i.e., Linear Predictive … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 16 Aug 2012 · 7,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractController Based Observer in Switched System with Norm Bounded UncertaintyMongi Besbes, Elyes MaherziProblem statement: This study discusses the robust stabilization of norm bounded discrete switched systems. Approach: The proposed method is using the second Lyapunov approach and the poly-quadratic function concept. The stabilization conditions are written through linear matrix inequality relations. The control law is based on a static output feedback with the use of a switched observer. The synthesis conditions of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 11 May 2012 · 6,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Delay Estimation using the Characteristic Roots of Delay Differential EquationsSun Yi, Wonchang Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: For ordinary dynamic systems (i.e., non-delayed), various methods such as linear least-squares, gradient-weighted least-squares, Kalman filtering and other robust techniques have been widely used in signal processing, robotics, civil engineering. On the other hand, time-delay estimation of systems with unknown time-delay is still a challenging problem due to difficulty in formulation caused. Approach: The presented method makes use … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,082 accessesView PDFCite
