Reducing Heat Loss From Solar Hot Water Storage Tanks Using Passive Baffles
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Solar water heating systems with thermal storage are one of the simplest ways of reducing energy demand for domestic water heating. Over the years, researchers have attempted to improve the thermal performance of storage ... -
Design and Output Power Evaluation for a Novel Hybrid Wave-Wind Energy Converter
(Elsevier BV, 2022)The performance of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters (WEC) is highly affected by airflow rate. In this paper, a novel system is proposed that increases airflow rate and, therefore, output power through ... -
Grading Methods for Fruit Freshness Based on Deep Learning
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)Fruit freshness grading is an innate ability of humans. However, there was not much work focusing on creating a fruit grading system based on digital images in deep learning. The algorithm proposed in this article has the ... -
TCP-LoRaD: A Loss Recovery and Differentiation Algorithm for Improving TCP Performance over MANETs in Noisy Channels
(MDPI, 2022)Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are becoming popular technologies because they offer flexibility in setting up anytime and anywhere, and provide communication support on the go. This communication requires the use of ... -
Colorizing Grayscale CT Images of Human Lungs Using Deep Learning Methods
(Springer, 2022)Image colorization refers to computer-aided rendering technology which transfers colors from a reference color image to grayscale images or video frames. Deep learning elevated notably in the field of image colorization ... -
Enabling Breeding Selection for Biomass in Slash Pine Using UAV-Based Imaging
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2022)Traditional methods used to monitor the aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB) of slash pine (<jats:italic>Pinus elliottii</jats:italic>) rely on on-ground measurements, which are time- and cost-consuming ... -
Polynomial Wiener LQG Controllers Based on Toeplitz Matrices
(Institute of Physics (IoP), 2022)This paper re-examines the discrete-time Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) regulator problem. The normal approach to this problem is to use a Kalman filter state estimator and Kalman control state feedback. Though quite ... -
