An Efficient Gateway Routing Scheme for Disaster Recovery Scenario
(2019)Natural disaster can strike at any time and can ruin large regions damaging houses, buildings, as well as physical communication infrastructure. Therefore, a network backup is essential in the disaster recovery areas as ... -
An Agent-based Modelling Approach for Scheduling and Management of Elective Surgeries
(SM Online Journals, 2018)Efficient elective surgery scheduling is one of the pain points in the current healthcare management and has a serious impact on the overall healthcare delivery. Currently, the health organizations struggle to achieve their ... -
Chemometrics and Hyperspectral Imaging Applied to Assessment of Chemical, Textural and Structural Characteristics of Meat
(Elsevier, 2018)Spectroscopy in the visible near-infrared spectral (Vis-NIRS) range combined with imaging techniques (hyperspectral imaging, HSI) allows assessment of chemical composition, texture, and meat structure. The use of HSI in ... -
Understanding Student Absenteeism in Undergraduate Engineering Programmes
(Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE), 2018)CONTEXT Correlation between student attendance and eventual performance is well documented in the literature. Even with increasing access to compatible web-based resources or lecture recordings, traditional face-to-face ... -
Analyzing Multiple Vector Autoregressions Through Matrix-variate Normal Distribution With Two Covariance Matrices
(SSRN-Elsevier, 2018)This paper proposes a new approach to analyze multiple vector autoregressive (VAR) models that render us a newly constructed matrix autoregressive (MtAR) model based on a matrix-variate normal distribution with two covariance ... -
Diffuse Solar Potential of Facades in an Urban Context Under Different Sky Conditions
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2018)This paper presents an advance in a method to evaluate the diffuse solar potential on facades in the urban environment. The proposed method is suitable to work in both the isotropic and anisotropic sky conditions. It employs ... -
Utilization of 3D Printing Technology to Facilitate and Standardize Soft Tissue Testing
(Springer Nature Ltd., 2018)Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become broadly available and can be utilized to customize clamping mechanisms in biomechanical experiments. This report will describe our experience using 3D printed clamps to mount soft ... -
Detection of Red-meat Adulteration by Deep Spectral–spatial Features in Hyperspectral Images
(Springer Verlag, 2018)This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the performance of hyperspectral imaging for detecting adulteration in red-meat products. A dataset of line-scanning images of lamb, beef, or pork muscles was collected taking ... -
Gradient Coils Design with Regularization Method for Superconducting Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(IEEE, 2018)This paper proposes an approach to the design of gradient coils for superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The designed method takes use of Fourier series expansions to describe the continuous current density ... -
Quantitative Comparison of EEG Compressed Sensing using Gabor and K-SVD Dictionaries
(IEEE Circuits and Systems, Singapore Chapter, 2018)With the fast development of wearable healthcare systems, compressed sensing (CS) has been proposed to be applied in electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition. For CS, it is desired to build the best-fit dictionary in order ... -
